GRRRR!! As if living with a chronic pain condition isn't bad enough, trying to actually find HELP for it is damned near impossible. I tried to get into the Mayo Clinic (AGAIN) and they won't take me!! I didn't call Florida because of the unGodly flight time involved, but the Rochester clinic isn't accepting new patients in general internal medicine, which is where they would want me to start, and Arizona won't take me, period, because I have fibromyalgia!! What the hell?? Gee, so sorry that you're sick, but we won't see you....nice.
So - I'm going to try Virginia Mason, Stanford Univeristy and Scripps University. And I'm going to see if I can get into Andrew Wiel's clinic in Arizona - that would probably be best anyway because he integrates holistic healing into Western medicine. Still, though - talk about FRUSTRATING! I can hardly find a local doctor to see me because no one here (or anywhere, frankly) knows much about fibromyalgia. So - sorry you're sick, but we can't help you is a refrain I am all too familiar with.
GRRRRRR
