Hello, I’ve been severely disabled the past 33 years from a combination of CFS, CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, FIBROMYALGIA, CM, CHIARI MALFORMATION. Diagnosed and treated for prostate Cancer 18 months ago. I started seeing a Palliative care physician about 6 months ago. He assists me with managing my overall quality of life with all of my health challenges. I find him very helpful
and recommend that you seek one out for your situation.
He can also prescribe me meds if one of my other specialists can not, especially pain meds! Palliative care specialists can provide a very important role in your health are and over all well-being.
Best wishes,
Phil

Hi Phil, I'm so glad you found good care for all of your aliments. Can you explain to @celia16 how you got connected with the Palliative Care Physician?
I know that in our clinic, we can ask for a referral through our primary provider or any specialist, but I'm unsure how it works if you are not part of a large multi-specialty practice.

Good luck with your continued support.
Sue
