Friend lives in the Chicago/Wisconsin area. Very sick, getting shuffled around to every specialist (psychiatrist, gastroenterologist, primary care, neurologist, physical therapist, etc)
Told his exercise malaise is fibromyalgia, or from his depression not being 'regulated' yet.
He's got dozens of symptoms...pain, sleep issues, post exertion fatigue...some neurological pain and knee pain.
Looking for a good integrative style physician who is experienced in Lyme, chronic fatigue, environmental and mold illness.
Any help would be appreciated! He can't travel to my doc as I go to one on the east coast. I want to help him before he gets as bad as me...they are telling him now to take Advil and suck it up. It's revolting as usual.
This is a former physically active, sporty guy. Spends his time sleeping on the couch with family who don't understand his 'problem.'
