Looking for East Bay (Bay Area) Fibro/CFS doc

[PearlGirl26]

My dear friend has recently been diagnosed with Fibro, PTSD, connective tissue disorder and has a history of Lyme, which was treated with 3 weeks of doxy. She also has a terrible sleep disorder involving seizures. I am doing everything I can to help her, but she is being seen by so many doctors. Does anyone have any advice for her on Dr. Levine/Endlander-type doc in SF or the East Bay? I told her about Work Well for when she files for disability, but I would like her seen by someone who gets it, instead of all of these specialists who don't see the big picture. Also, recs on SS disability attorneys are also appreciated!

Dr. Powell is in Sacramento, close to the Bay Area.

Dr Andy Kogelnick is at the Open Medicine Institute, Mountain View. 650-962-4553

I don't know whether they actually accept patients or only do research. They might be able to refer you/her. Good luck!
