I’m based in London and wish to see a Dr that can test and treat a range of ME symptoms, including testing for and treating with antivirals and/or retrovirals. Through this site I’ve come across Dr William Weir, Dr Saul Berkowitz, Dr Amolak Bansal, Breaskpears Medical...there are more who are near to me, but unless they are all the same, I would prefer it if they come recommended. I would in be prepared to travel outside of the UK if the treatment and it’s availability of treatment (I.e little to no waiting list) was worth it.

@Learner1 has a whole list of which almost all are surrey based. He has it in one of his attachments he often posts. They are all used to seeing ME patients. Some are in London.
Sorry, not sure that I do. I have a decent list of tests and things to check out from Charles Forsyth in Surrey. There's Sarah Myhill. And the doctors named above. Typically, the best docs will have waiting lists. It's worth the wait. Although, I was on Stanford's waiting list for 18 months before they finally called and offered me an appointment 12 months out. I laughed as by then, I'd already found another specialist and didn't need to wait do long and was already getting good help.

Best wishes...

Thanks for confirming, I did check your post history and couldn’t see anything. I’ve booked 2 appointments anyway, one with Bansal one with Weir, looks like it will be around late November that they can see me, earlier if someone drops out..

Is it an option to get private labs done where you dont need a drs authority?
Its something relatively new in Australia to get labs without the need of a dr ie in the last few years. The cost can be a barrier?
