How do I get help?

Yeah, it can feel like going around in circles.

One good thing about Mayo is that if you get yourself to the initial appointment regardless of your starting point, there is a culture of understanding that a health condition can be intertwined requiring expertise in multiple stasis at first to rule out diagnoses to get to the diagnoses and then eventually to come up with a treatment plan.

So perhaps if you can focus on getting in communication with the initial department where your initial appointment was to take place and get that scheduled, that will ultimately get things going and you’ll be able to see the other specialists. But if you have all the orders, you can probably get the schedule coordinated. I know it’s a challenge if you have to do the legwork; it’s but a small thing, but the good thing is you’ve got your foot in the door now.

Eep. @jdombeck1019 FYI, I meant to say, "It's *not* a small thing" to coordinate the appointments. Sorry, that totally changes the tone of the sentence. Wishing you all the best.
