Has anyone gone to Lin Health for ongoing treatment?

Posted by jimpro @jimpro, Jun 25 11:00am

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia at Mayo in Rochester. They suggested Lin Health services as a resource for ongoing treatment/support. I asked this question a couple of months ago and got no response to it. I thought I’d ask again if anyone in the group has heard of Lin Health or had and experience with them.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Fibromyalgia Support Group.

I think this was the Lin Health App. Which is also the Lin health group.

I’ll have to go through my notes from MayoClinic this week. I bet It was a resource recommendation for me too. Basically a coaching and mentoring through an app they have setup, there is a cost involved but maybe covered by insurance.

Yeah would be interested if others have tried it out.

I'd like to invite @mberko, @tmoe74 and @lbair1 to this conversation to share their experiences with Lin health and fibromyalgia.

@JustinMcClanahan Thanj you Justin. I’m sorry I didn’t see this question asked before-life’s been busy:) Lin health was a great experience for me. I met one on one with a coach type of person who listened to me and my struggles. My coach helped me to reframe my thinking and gave me deeper insight into things that my Mayo classes had briefly touched on. I was in the Lin Health program for 4 months I think it was and am so glad I did it. I also had modules that I did between my coaching visits. I went into the program kind of skeptical but walked away with a feeling of empowerment to change my condition. I highly recommend it to fibromyalgia patients.

I am finishing up my 4th month with Lin Health and look forward to the next few months. My coach has been very helpful in introducing me to new ways of thinking which has helped to start balance my nervous system a little. I have fewer bad days than when I first started and they typically aren't as intense as they used to be.

As with anytime you are trying to retrain your brain, there have been plenty of times where I felt like I was taking 3 steps forward and 2 strips backwards, but that's still progress.

The modules are typically easy to understand. You will get out of the Lin Health program what you are willing to put in, in my opinion.

@paulcard Lin Health is a separate entity from Mayo, but they take a lot of Mayo referrals. There is an app you work in and you choose a coach to meet with 4 times per month. I had to get a referral from Mayo to be set up with them.
