Hi Searchingforhelp, welcome. I'm sorry to hear that your hope was taken away. You're right that Mayo Clinic is reknown as a place where people find answers, hope and healing. The next part of my response is not going to provide much comfort, I'm afraid.

It sounds like you’ve taken the appropriate steps to seek care at Mayo Clinic. Our physician experts have likely reviewed your case with colleagues. Their review led them to determine that Mayo Clinic cannot offer any further treatment for you at this time or care that is different from what you’re already receiving. The appointment denial is more likely an issue of capacity. Many of our departments, especially General Internal Medicine, receive more appointment requests than we have capacity to accept.

You'll notice that I moved your message to this existing discussion where fellow Connect members share tips on how to get an appointment at Mayo Clinic. You may wish to read through the past posts.

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. It is disheartening to think they dont think there is anything else I can try as what I have tried has not worked and I was really hoping for an improvement in my health and a place that would look at full body approaches. I will look at the other posts and thanks again.
