this is a web-site that you can go to to find an alternative doc in your area possibly...Deb |
Very nice link, Deb. Thanks to your encouragement we are shopping for a new doctor again. Our history with doctors has been disappointing to say the least. Over the years we have seen every traditional and alternative practitioner who was willing to see us (with no results, no satisfying diagnosis and no relief) and we've been patronized by doctors who refused to take our health issues seriously (saying the symptoms were imaginary and worse, that "everyone has problems, you just learn to live with it"). We eventually got fed up and were limping along independently when we found this group. I've checked out your link and it does list several practitioners within 30 or so miles of us. We're cautiously excited at the thought of working with an MD who might actually believe that our health issues are real, and work with us to find solutions. Does anyone here have any specific MD they can recommend in the San Francisco Bay Area?

Two of the physicians I've seen in the past, including Dr. Rea, are members. You can find AAEM referable physicians here: http://www.aaem.com/referable_physicians.htm Dr. John C. Wakefield, MD, of Saratoga, CA, was highly recommended by the last AAEM member physician I saw. Dr. Wakefield is also a psychiatrist, so he can also "medically certify" your sanity if needed for some reason. I sought more than the EMF avoidance approach which both of my previous AAEM members chiefly relied on with me (and actually with themselves as well as they are also ES) so I'd moved on to alternative therapies by then. With Dr. Wakefield, at the least, you'll be seeing a doctor who is familiar with ES and MCS and will treat you and your condition with respect and appropriate caution. Beau |

(yes, he's an MD and an osteopath). He is knowledgable, kind, extremely bright and respectful. He knows some things about electrical sensitivity (wouldn't call him an expert, but then who is), but is open to info about the problem and most definitely knows it is real. He *is* an expert in chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome, mercury poisoning, chronic pain and I think he knows a lot about fibromyalgia and lyme disease. He is a board certified internist and just really a great guy. People come from all over the U.S. to see him. His contact info: Eric Gordon, M.D., D.O. 3471 Regional Pkwy. Santa Rosa CA 95403 707-575-5180 This is about an hour drive from San Francisco, about 40 miles (?) I highly, highly recommend him! Stephanie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
