for my adult daughter who is on disability (Medicare).
Do they accept medicare and do they treat coinfections?
I have the PA list with the patient feedback, but it is a couple yrs old and I was hoping for more recent feedback.
Mods...please leave this in Medical so people will see it and give me some feedback...thanks!!

hens,
She said her fatigue is so overwhelming now that she has to do something...but she cannot afford to pay out of pocket.

I'm sorry to hear it. Consider herbs. When DH & DS &DD had symptoms but were not "sick" they did abx w/ did nothing for them. All symptoms they had prior were still there after. If I could do it over for them, I would have done Cowden or Buhner or Byron White.

buhner and cowden didn't do so much for me. strictly abx. flagyl and biaxin kicked my butt.
levaquin and cipro gave me severe muscle pain.
maybe my load was too heavy for the herbs and needed to be reduced by the abx first. don't know.
but i'd say try them all and see which works.

Everybody who ever wrote to me about Dr. S said, "He doesn't answer my questions."
