I don't know if you've tried this, but you should ask your primary doctor or clinic at school to give you a test for Mono AND Lyme. I asked for a test for Mono after years of confusion on why I felt...
My LLMD said Absolutely NOT ! He said you are immune compromised and you do not want your body to have to fight off anything else. I had no idea. Also when we went to see my mom's oncologist (she had...
I like the show HOUSE and they had a "marathon run" of it on Thanksgiving so I taped most of them. When I went back to watch a few, I could not believe how many times they brought up the diagnosis of...

You absolutely need to see the documentary "Under Our Skin" - Sometimes you have to see it more than once to truly understand what is going on - also there is a book called "Lab 257" that will make...
Sorry, but I would NEVER NEVER suggest going to Dr. D. in Boston or his other address in Falmouth on the Cape!!!!! He see's you for 2 minutes total and says he cannot understand the brain scans too...
Jenn, I'm just finding out about other sources now. Some through friends in other states, some from doctors, and other's through the very tiny print on commercials. Wal-mart (as people probably...

Hi, I've heard that a lot of people get B-12 shots that wake them up from the awful fatigue they are experiencing. I have never had my LLMD offer that, but I see that other people from my support...
The one in Fort Mill, SC, Dr. J. is moving to Georgetown, Washington D.C. in November, just so you know. He's my doc, so I thought I'd add that in there. I fly because it's too far to drive but with...
Hi Razzle, That's exactly the way I explain it to the doctors and my family. I usually say "my lungs are tired... they feel like they are too tired to breathe." Being so physically exhausted and not...
I see the Dr. J. in SC that you refer to - PM me if you want more info. I get on a plane for 2 hours and go see him -every couple of months - but he is absolutely worth it and wonderful - and...
