627388 tn?1222198212 Has anyone from the MS forum ever seek treatment for their MS at the Mayo Clinic? If so, how was your as your experience with physicians from the clinic? I am considering driving up to Mayo at some point if my neurologist in town can't definatively diagnosis me.
Avatar f tn I have just made an appointment for a full work up at the Mayo Clinic, does anyone know the tests involved and how much they charge? Thank you!
582396 tn?1259863489 I am over the moon excited that DH got a 5-10 day appointment at Mayo Clinic - Dec. 10. Anyone have any experiences on what to expect etc?
Avatar m tn Some here on the board are not real pleased with the Mayo clinic. It seems they have their own set of standards to give out a dx of MS. I personally know nothing about them and wish you the best....hoping for that answer.

237053 tn?1258828426 I went to the Mayo Clinic in AZ in January - hoping to find some answers. I will say that it is a very well run facility - but don't pin your hopes on a big "well known" facility to solve everything for you. The neurologist that I saw at the Mayo clinic didn't want to see my timeline or my list of symptoms - although at the end of my initial appointment, he did take my list of symptoms to include in my chart.
98474 tn?1240105274 I guess time will tell. If this is the result of my Mayo Clinic visit(they told me the b12 was not the total answer to my prob even tho they couldn't tell me what it was) then it was way worth it. Don't know why the other labs that constantly tested me for b12 deficiency did not show it. Makes me wonder why Mayo lab is so much better?? They only found the three Obands too and the other lab did it two other times and found 12! Go figure~ So hoping that all of you are doing well!
Avatar f tn Maybe I was too harsh about Mayo. To be fair to Mayo Clinic, I do think they do have some very good doctors there, maybe it's just hard to get a neuro diagnosis - as it seems to be most other places in this country - so what's new? I did really think the Mayo radiologist who looked at my films was excellent - he found a couple of things the original outside radiologist did not notice such as brain mass loss.
Avatar m tn Vitamin K is an essential vitamin but too much can be toxic to the liver. Vitamin K2 has shown more benefits to the liver, particularly in the area of fibrosis, also known as MK7, you can read more about it on the life extention web site. I think the verdict is out on whether this is a good thing or not for liver patients, and especially while on tx the risks may outweigh the benfit..
Avatar f tn Just got an email from the np that said she had talked to the doctor and wants to put me on Vitamin k 10 mg daily. I gave her the pharmacy number and asked her to send me the lab results. Still waiting to hear back. Have any of you had to do this before? What is the Vitamin k used for? Thanks!
486038 tn?1300063367 I've not been to the Jacksonville Mayo or the MS clinic in Houston, I'm sorry about that. I have heard a lot of good things about the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and Dr. Elliot Frohman who works there. I'm sure if you google his name you can find out much more than I can tell you about, here.
Avatar m tn Truthfully, I've heard one of the best MS Clinics in the US is the Mellen Center at Cleveland Clinic. You might try checking out http://www.mscare.org They list all the clinics available, etc. My neuro said the clinic at Cincinatti isn't that great but thinks Cleveland Clinic is really good. I've never heard of the Mayo Clinic being highly rated for MS, but more for heart desease.
Avatar f tn First I went to Overeaters Anonymous. Also I went to the Mayo Clinic for something totally different than about weight issues. If you go to the Mayo Clinic website there is a book that guides you through lifestyle changes to lose weight.
572651 tn?1530999357 I have submitted an entry to MAYO clinic for their social media workshop – it should be illuminating to see the medical side of this communication tool. MAYO Clinic is offering scholarships for three patient/caregivers to participate alongside medical personnel in their upcoming Social Media Conference. It appears I am the only Multiple Sclerosis patient advocate who has applied and I would appreciate your taking a few minutes to support my efforts.
620877 tn?1282764097 ) I have some of your same opinions on my visit to the Mayo clinic and my vitamin deficiency diagnosis...As I said in my post, I am afraid of being in limboland because of a lack of "abnormal" diagnostic testing to prove anything. Am I "satisfied"? To a degree...I had a great experience there - I didn't walk away with any firm diagnosis, but I don't know how I could have with normal diagnostic tests. My vitamin D is 18 and my B12 is at 212.
Avatar f tn I decided that I should travel to the United States and hopefully get a diagnosis. I know that Mayo clinic and Cleveland clinic have a good dysautonomia clinics but I don't know which one should I choose so I would appreciate any suggestions !!! Also I know healthcare in the US is so expensive and since I don't have insurance I wonder how much such a visit to one of those hospitals will roughly cost ?I know it's hard to tell but I'm asking for a roughly cost. Thanks.
Avatar m tn Vitamin E might worsen clotting problems in people whose levels of vitamin K are too low. An eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa: All-rac-alpha-tocopherol (synthetic vitamin E) 400 IU seems to speed vision loss in people with retinitis pigmentosa. However, much lower amounts (3 IU) do not seem to produce this effect. If you have this condition, it is best to avoid vitamin E. Bleeding disorders: Vitamin E might make bleeding disorders worse.
Avatar f tn I have POTS and am supposed to go to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota this winter. I'm curious who has been to Mayo before and how their experiences went. Did you use the POTS clinic part of it or something else? I am also curious because I am mainly going to see if any doctor can figure out the underlying cause of my POTS (my current doctors are not interested in testing for any possible causes of it). Should I go to the POTS clinic part of it or should I just see a general doctor there?
Avatar f tn My DIL was Dx May 14, 2009 Stage IV. After three surgeries at the wonderful Mayo Clinic n Rochester, MN, neoadjuvant chemo, ascites drainings, and multiple other chemos - the last May 14, 2010, she had a PET scan. Results? "No convincing evidence of disease!" Her CA-125 is at 10. We Praise God for his wonders. She has a follow-up meeting with her gyn/onc next week to see what happens next. But we are OVERJOYED! Each of you ladies who are fighting so hard, keep up the good work.
Avatar f tn Ella underwent a portal vein embolization at the Mayo Clinic this morning, and the two hour and 20 minute procedure went smoothly. We are so happy about its success! However, Ella is having a rough time with the recovery. It appears she might be having a bad reaction to the pain medication. Todd says he expects her to make constant improvements through the night and hopes they will be able to fly home tomorrow or Thursday. He is staying by her side in the hospital to help her through.
Avatar f tn How do you feel about the vitamin K shot? Are you going to give it to your new born?
