I recently received a letter from my doctor saying that his office is closing and I will need to find a new one. Anyone have a "Good Doctor" in Jacksonville or Orange Park FL?

Dr. Yong D. Chang M.D. 501 Rita lane Suite 101 Aelington Texas,76014 phone # 817-4176141 fax # 817-417-6261

He's been my Dr. since long before I got this D.D. He's the one I got my neurologist from. And Dr. Conner treats the Texas Rangers Baseball team as well as me! Jenniffer is the office manager and she's great too. Keeps on top of all the paperwork ie. short term disability, then long, then SSID. She takes no prisioners with insurance companies!

Dr. Kevin E. Conner 501 Rita Suite 105 Arlington, Texas 76014 phone # 817-417-6141 fax # 817-417-6261

How great is that! Their in the same building! Makes appointment days so easy! And they BOTH take INSURANCE! And Dr. Chang wants to know what really helps you with pain management drugs so he always gives me samples to see how they affect me before he does the prescription thing. Can't say enough about these two Dr.'s. THEY ARE THE BEST IN TEXAS!!!!!!!!

whats "bump" mean?

I saw an earlier request for doctors in Alabama....did not see any replies....I have had both CFS/ME & FM since 1989. Been to many doctors. Recently tried the fibro & fatigue center in Marietta, GA. Very expensive. Had reaction to IV and another to Mitomax Supplement. Haven't tried the thyroid/hydrocortisone treatment, yet. Nor several other supplements. SO ANYONE OUT THERE FROM GOOD OLE ALABAMA THAT's got a GOOD DOCTOR for us? Can be in Alabama, Florida, Georgia or Mississippi also. Also if you would like to reply to me at lcollins64@hotmail.com and put in your title ImmuneSupport Message Board I would greatly appreciate it.

Here's to hope for all of us with this D.D.

Great post! My PCP is a wonderful lady who also happens to do well woman exams a couple times a month in addition to her general practice Dr. Jacqueline Livingston San Marcos TX (about 18 miles south of Austin) 512-396-3911

She was the one who first looked at all my symptoms and said you're going to a specialist and she recommended two rheumatologists. The other one I can not recall but my rheumatologist who is the most wonderful amazing doc I have ever had is: Dr. Paul K Pickrell Austin Arthritis Austin TX 512-732-2929

This doc actually listens to you. You are part of your own treatment planning. I couldn't have asked for a better physician.His P.A. is awesome too (he just got her because another rheumatologist in town retired and he got overloaded with tranfer patients). Oh and his nurse - I love this woman she is fantastic. He has no problem having you try samples of medications. I've had insurance deny an antidepressant and he got after them to pay for it. Recently another new med was denied and he was out of the office for the weekend; so his nurse just bagged up some samples of it to get me through the next month until my insurane changes.

Finally my Chiropractor who eliminated the tension headaches and migraines I had for years: Dr. Kevin Misenheimer Buda Family Chiropractic Buda TX 512-295-9345 He created a 6 month treatment plan to eliminate my headaches / migraines and with in 3 months they were gone and I have not had one in over a year! His office staff are really friendly and they help you find ways to make treatment affordable.

Dr. Quadri (with Heartland Internal Medicine) 270-769-0892

i just started seeing Dr. Quadri about 3 weeks ago. so far, i feel like he is a great doctor. he sits and listens to me however long it takes. he believes me. and he is very thorough with tests, and also has referred me to a Rheumatologist.

I was checking in to see how things are going with Dr Sharp. Please let me know. I have been seeing a rheumatologist that doesn't seem as concerned as I am. I cry all the time because I hurt all the time, quit my job in Jan and feel like I have lost my life due to my pain. All he tells me is to exercise which I tried before even seeing him. Got worse due to it so I stopped. Thanks for listening. Also, do you know of any support groups in the area? I am in Azle

I go to a very compassionate rheumy in Virginia Beach Virginia his name is Stephen Plotnick and he is located on Virginia Beach Bovl. his number is757-412-1048. The one problem is he stop taking insurance and it can get to be very pricey. New patient visit is over $300.00, and typical visit is 145.00. he trys to see you every other month and mails your new script to you-but I don't know what it would be like in the beginning.But he is a very knowledgable Dr. with great bedside manner and very cute. GOOD LUCK

Hi Guys

My Doctor is fantastic and has made an effort to find out all she can about FMS and use it in her practice. She is approachable, informed, helpful, attentive, open to suggestions, supportive of patients and of new ideas and treatments. pleasant, cheerful and ever hopeful of a cure or a better treatment to promote a better life for us fibromyalgics. Her name and adress is:

Dr Jane Barber Moorcroft Medical Centre Botteslow Street Hanley Stoke on Trent Staffordshire ST1 3NY

I would put her up for an award if i could, she is pricless and worth her weight in gold.

Hope this helps someone get the level of excellent care which i receive and everyone should have access to. well done doxy, top idea
