Mayo Clinic notified me today that they won't even see me. My autoimmune issues must be to difficult to diagnose or maybe a diagnosis can't even be made at all. Pretty disappointed as the referral wasn't easy and I don't know where to turn now?

Hi @fox940
I know that I have responded to you in other discussions about the disheartening news of being refused an appointment at Mayo Clinic, but I'd like to repeat my message here for the sake of others who may be following along.
It sounds like you've taken the appropriate steps to seek care at Mayo Clinic. When our experts review your records and medical history, they also closely consider the care that you are currently receiving. If we do not feel we can offer care that is different from what you’re already receiving, we do not want you to incur unnecessarily expense and travel. However, you mentioned in another discussion thread that your physician believes Mayo Clinic may be able to find answers beyond his/her investigations. Thus having your physician contact Mayo Clinic on your behalf may be a good idea. Your doctor may gain some insight as to why the referral was declined, be able to reverse the decision or gain insights into your situation to help you better.
I know how disheartening it is to not know where to turn. I hope that the community here on Connect can help you find answers.
