Hi. My name is Chris and I've had Chronic Fatigue, Chronic Migraine, and extreme Multiple Chemical Sensitivity for 28 years. Life is very difficult with this illness. I see that others have gone to the Pain Clinic and it has helped them, with this group of illnesses under Central Sensitization Syndrome. I did not realize that what I had was actually Chronic Pain and have been trying to treat the symptoms of chronic migraine, chronic fatigue, and chemical sensitivity:
migraine, confusion, brain fog, etc. What is the process for going to Mayo for this group of illnesses? Has anyone with Chronic Fatigue or Multiple Chemical Sensitivity and Chronic Migraine gone through the pain clinic for this diagnosis? My migraines have worsened recently and they are daily. I've been in bad basically for the past 4.5 months and thinking of going to Mayo. I only have Medicare and am on Social Security disability. Thank you! Chris

@bluetwinkle28 One of my FMS members with Chronic Migraines and Chemical Sensitivity recently went on Aimovig successfully. She and her boyfriend prepared for the worst and she has been very happy with the results. I can't help you get into the Mayo Clinic with Medicare only. Sorry. It really is sad that people with disability find it more difficult to find the specialized help they need.
