I am in the same situation. I moved out of Phoenix where I had the best specialist of all kinds at my fingertips within a 30 minute drive. I am now out in the middle of nowhere and a 2 hour drive to anything but country Drs who have never even heard of many if my conditions much less treated them. I honestly never thought it would be this bad. I didn't think it possible. I have been working and networking to try to work to find a network of physicians within an hours drive who can treat me. Hopefully I will succeed at some point. I am starting to question my decision to move out of the city. It is sad because I love my life and home out here but I am jeopardizing my health and wellness. 🙁
