I read in an old post on this forum that Dr. Derek Enlander's office in NY does EECP treatments for CFS. I had never in my life heard of this modality and it sounds very promising. I found a few threads on PR from 2010-2012 in which two PWC's said it helped them dramatically.
I was wondering if anyone else (since 2012) has tried this treatment either with Dr. Enlander or elsewhere in the U.S. or world? I am in L.A. so it is not an option for me to fly to NY but I did some research and there is a center literally five min from me that provides this treatment. Is was designed for angina (not CFS) but is now used to treat a wide variety of conditions.
They said I can do a free consultation and try the treatment (as it is not dangerous) and then get a referral from my doctor if I want to do the full protocol of 35 sessions. I am not sure what my cardiologist will say to this and will also ask my ND.
My fatigue and cardiac symptoms have deteriorated this weekend to the point that I am desperate to try anything that can help me. Any info/thoughts on this treatment would be really appreciated. I know it is not a cure but I will take any improvement that I can get at this point.
