I am Floridian also and I was so surprised about mayo Jacksonville since I am a patient here I I have a patient number. They will not take a patient with Mac disease. Apparently they don't have enough doctors who are specialized in it. I did go to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. You can get an appointment there; but it's inconvenient. I've been treated by a Doctor Who was at Vanderbilt and is now at Saint Thomas in Nashville who spent his first 10 years in Minnesota mayo. He is really exceptional. But it was an infectious disease doctor in Tampa who was so fantastic at giving me so many tips for treating the disease . Within one hour she was able to tell me probably 20 things to do for myself – practical things that are extremely effective. So the doctor does matter.
