Excellent advice. I follow these providers on their websites for research. Mayo Clinic is 4 hrs from where I live. Cleveland Clinic is also 5 hrs or so.

@retirement75 I imagine it become more and more difficult to push for answers with every dismissive response you get. I agree with @jc76 recommendations and it has been well worth my 7 hour drive to seek care.

You may not need to be permanently close, just willing to be available and walk through the steps offered to you. I have been a Mayo Clinic patient and I wouldn’t trust anyone else at this point. My daughter is a different example, traveling for a consult and ultimately getting help to find a surgeon just right for her in her own backyard.

You can contact Mayo Clinic for an appointment here: http://mayocl.in/1mtmR63

You mention fatigue. Are there other symptoms you are having, additional concerns needing addressed?

@retirement75
You can't get any better medical facilities than Mayo and Cleveland Clinic. They helped me find a local cardiologist that was Mayo trained as they wanted me to have a local cardiologist who would work with them as a team.

I never minded the long drive to Mayo as I knew I was getting the best care from one of the most experienced medical institutions in the world.
