Dr. N near Lancaster? If that is the case, I like this doctor and practice. I have been going there for over a year, every 2 months. One of the few that take insurance. As with any doctor for any condition, direct them where you want to be and what you want to take. Dr. N is very open and passionate.

Dr. F.N. in Myerstown, PA?

If yes, I see him for my 2nd visit on the 11th of this month.

So far, seems ok. He did shrug off some of my symptoms. Referred to them as, 'old age,' 'like "we" are, I"m about 10 yrs or more younger than him,' and I thought that was uncalled for behaviour/attitude. That is a 'red flag' for me, but I'm here, and want to give him/staff a fighting chance.

He is expensive, and doesn't take my disability insur., medicare/medicaid. I pay $125 for first visit/30 min. Then, each visit with the Dr is only 15 min., and that is at $120.00. That factors out to be $480/hr.

I also am scheduled for the 1.5 hrs Vit.C IV in house drip, which is mandatory for his L/co patients, at $175/ea. I think his prices are steep, but as I said, I'm just starting on the meds side of this illness.

Follow your gut, as that seems to work well. We are all so unique in this illness, and our paths are so individualized. Good luck.

F. N. is the doctor near Lancaster, that does take insurance - depending. In terms of LLMD's it is all 'relative'. Also $125 for first LLMD visit is about....$400 cheaper then any other LLMD you will find Breaking Free....just saying, call around.

The Myers/glutathione are not mandatory so you can cancel those if you are not feeling any different on them. I know a few patients he did not recommend them for.

I see Dr. N in myerstown. Have had 2 appts...first one to then order the bloodwork, 2nd was to start antibiotic treatment. I trust him. He has been doing this specialty for over 12 years. I go back this week for my 6 week followup and will have a vitamin IV and detox IV that is out of pocket. Everything else has been covered by my insurance. I struggled for over a year thinking I was nuts and being led to every different doctor trying to find what was wrong. Both appts I've had have been very thorough, not rushed at all. You know he's listening, you can always call with questions. I work in healthcare and pride myself on being my best advocate, which some places don't like. He loves listening and educating his patients. Best of luck to you!

Any other Dr. N patients, have any of you had the vitamin/detox IV's? Do you get sick from them? Just planning ahead.
Thanks everyone,
KG

Hi KG,

I only had a handful of the IV's done. They did not make me ill. They made me thirsty and I really had to poop a lot the day after...thats it. ;) But everyone is different!
