SanDiego#1 I a m not familiar with that term Environmental Dr., can you clarify? Is that the same as Naturopath?
Environmental is an MD. Does all the tests for Pesticide and the same as Infectious disease. Mine has been involved with CFIDS-just doesn't go overboard on Meds. Alot of Alternative. She is the one that gives me my great Compounded supplements and found I had complete Adrenal exhaustion and very low Thyroid. Also gives me Saline IV and Vitamin IV.
She knows all the CFIDs Dr. Really pulled me out of the slump I was in from CFIDS Dr.Who said I had Heart Failure.
Mine is Susan Tanner in Atlanta. Very reasonable fees and files insurance. She e-mails me all the time if I am having a problem. I just love her. Feeling better every day. Try to run everything by her now and she will give me her HONEST opinion on what she thinks. Regardless of whether she is treating me for it or not.
I am sure there are different Dr. that call themselves Environmental. Naturepathic and etc. They may also be good. However I want someone that can decipher all the CFID Jargon for me too. Some of the others if not an MD don't have a clue.
If you are on the West Coast-you should have alot of them. They do not have to specialize in CFID to help you.
Another one that started me on Immune Globulin was an Infectious Disease Dr. He also treats and diag AIDS.
The CFID Dr. think they have the market sewed up-THEY DON'T WITH ME.
That is why they can charge the EXORBITANT fees. WE THINK WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICES.
WE DO PEOPLE!!!!!!! THIS IS ONE THING I AGREE WITH ric ABOUT-THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!!!
YOU ARE GOING TO GET BETTER!!!!!
