Is it difficult to get an appointment with Mayo in MN?

I have been trying to get into Mayo in Rodchester, for 3 yrs. I first tried on my own, thought I was making good progress, until they told me, they were no longer taking my advantage plan. I changed to Traditional Medicare, asked my Primary to help, I got turned down three times, by three different departments. I have two rare disease, rare allergies that are effecting me from getting eye care, digestive care, and to be able to take any medications to help my body from deteriorating any further. My Primary can't even get me into other specialists were I live because they don't know how to handle my allergy situation. It's unreal to get denied from every direction. Good luck to you!

@lilli64 Have you tried an environmental medicine doctor? They can be allergy specialists and look at the functional chemistry in the body and optimize health. I saw a doctor like this for several years until he retired. Here is a provider finder.

I have a current doctor who is also an allergy specialist in functional medicine who is in the Forum Health Group https://forumhealth.com/ They have doctors nationwide.
Typically these doctors look for a cause of a problem instead of prescribing something to treat an effect or symptoms of a problem. They may not be able to address all of your issues, but they may be able to help with some of it that is allergy related.
There is also the practice that started this field of medicine. That is the Environmental Medicine Center Dallas in Texas. Here is there website. https://www.ehcd.com/ There is information at this website about issues they can treat.

I am SO sorry you’re having these problems.
At this point in my life, I, too, feel I don’t have many options to get relief. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to go flying around the country, paying for hotels, meals, etc.., so Mayo ANYWHERE sounds like best chance I have to be free of pain.
Kind of gives one a fatalistic attitude, don’t you think?
