@potteywoman That would be ideal. I;m dreading my 2nd kevzara shot,and I'm thinking I'm going to find a Functional Medicine practitioner to prescribe me LDN. I can't find an MD with a F.M. certification, so I'll have to pay out of pocket. But I think it's the right choice

@mp71 Mine was integrative medicine, not functional. The latter are hard to find. Since my PCP retired, I am torn between continuing with the integrative medicine clinic to see her replacement or going with the geriatrician in the health care practice at my CCRC. The former is 20 miles away, and a big negative is that the triage nurse there took it upon herself to interpret ("diagnose") my SAI crisis symptom as heart disease and tell the new doctor I needed to be referred for a complete cardiac workup. She is now primed to approach me as a geriatric patient with heart disease. The negative about the geriatrician is that he is not trained in integrative medicine, but he is very smart and his "about me" statement says he is against polypharmacy. Right now I am hedging my bets and maintaining my monthly fee for the integrative medicine while trying to schedule a consultation with the geriatrician. That has proven a challenge because the scheduler said it would be an exam, and I feel very strongly that I need to have a consultation first.
