My name is Liz and I am new to this forum or site. I am looking for any tip/help anyone would suggest to get me seen by a Dr or group at Mayo. I have applied 3 times & been rejected from Mayo. I have severe autonomic disfunction (neuropathy throughout my entire body, accelerated heart rate, severe GI problems, severe sweating, chronic severe pain, severe dry mouth and many others) which has greatly negatively impacted my life. I have been unable to work for last few years and my condition is getting worse. I had applied to the Mayo group/department that helps figure out what is wrong with patients when they are unable to get diagnosis. Maybe that was not the right group. I like many others have been to Doctor after Doctor and still I am deteriorating. I feel like if I could get help identifying the cause of my Disautonomia I could get better treatment that might have less side effects. I am on meds that just TRY and help with symptoms and think they are probably contributing to other problems & worsening my symptoms. If anyone reading this could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. Telling me how you applied or set up your appointment and with who (Doctor) or what specific department helpful. I am assuming from what I have read that Most patients are starting with neurology, not sure so If you could let me know which department, that would be very helpful!
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.
Liz
