I have but they don’t know much about this illness so there’s not much they can do for it. They would love for me to find a doctor who knows about ME in the area but there aren’t really any near me. Thus some things that I ask to try they aren’t so willing because they haven’t heard of it before like LDN. But if I found a doctor who knew about LDN etc. they would totally go along with it and say OK.

I just found this site.. I am glad to meet you and look forward to getting to know you. How are you doing now? Here's a bit about myself. The 2 doctors, both who have passed on,who initially diagnosed me with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, understood the condition. They were caring and understanding, but realistic. I was told I would not die from it, but I might often wish I could. Lol, how true. There are no meds, other than antibiotics, that are effective. I was a regular nurse, and got mistreated by traditional medical practitioners, nurses, dentists, etc. before I got diagnosed. My doctors recommended Alternative Treatments , and I did a lot of research and trial and error therapies, while getting to know what worked for my body. This site does not differentiate between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Fibromyalgia and M.E. I had to learn the hard way. What were you diagnosed with? What did or did not work for you? If you're interested, I can share what has worked for me. M.E. is a neuro muscular condition that affects the brain, spinal cord, muscles, tendons, ligaments, Inflammation and immune system with allergies, environmental sensitivities, hormonal and biochemical imbalances. That's a lot, I know, but I am still alive and can only do the best I can under these circumstances. I look forward to hearing back from you at your earliest opportunity, energy permitting,I'm sure. Take care,🙏🙏👍👍💝

Yes very recently but it took a few years switching doctors to find the right person 😥
