Re: When is time to give up?- Thoughts on finding a new doctor       02/05/05 09:41 AM Edit Reply Quote Sand Reged: 12/13/04 Posts: 4490 Loc: West Orange, NJ (IBS-D) I'm sorry you're having such a terrible time. I've had good results from Heather's diet (I'm IBS-D), but I still find myself hoping that "it" will turn out to be something other than IBS so I can be truly cured and I still find myself searching for what else it could be. I can only imagine how much more strongly you must hope and search for something else since you're not finding relief. I don't have any suggestions for stuff for you to try, but I do have a couple of thoughts about finding a new doctor (it sounds like you really need one). First, as part of Heather's post listing good docs, she talks about finding an IBS-qualified hypnotherapist and calling his or her office for a doctor referral. She lists a web page for hypnotherapists and there are some in Illinois. Second, consider the Mayo Clinic. I don't know what your financial or medical insurance situation is, but Rochester is less than a day's drive from Chicago and Mayo may be the best place to go to say, "What about this?" and get tests for everything else it could be. (One of the doctors Heather lists as being good for IBS is now at the Mayo in Arizona.) You can check out the Mayo's Website at Mayo Clinic Patient Info. (I suggest this because I've considered it myself even though all the Mayos are far, far from New Jersey. I guess I feel like if someone spends enough time with me and runs enough tests, either they'll find the something else or I'll finally be able to just accept that this is IBS.) I hope this helps. Take care. -------------------- [Research tells us fourteen out of any ten individuals likes chocolate. - Sandra Boynton] Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
