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?
1264955 tn?1381782221 Has anybody here been to the neurology clinic at the Mayo or in their inpatient pain treatment program?
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.
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!
Avatar f tn 8 months prior I did have walking pneumonia as well. I have never had spouts of blurry vision other than the occasional dizziness from going on a long runs or working long hours. The only health problem I have had is Crohn's Disease. My family history is Mother: Ulcer Colitis and Dad: has a Pace Maker.
Avatar f tn Well, my husband had the same symptoms as well, but when he woke up today, it was harder for him to breathe so he went to the hospital and found out he had walking pneumonia but was given nothing to treat it because they said he has to get over it himself. Now I'm worried that it might also be what I have, but they found out by X-ray, and I know I shouldn't get an X-ray while 20 weeks preganant. And even if that was it, would they even treat me for it?
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 m tn I am surprised that a diagnosis was not established at the Mayo Clinic and that raises the question that the cause of your disorder may be a rare disease. Given the amount of time that has passed and the persistence and severity of your symptoms, it would not be unreasonable for your doctors to repeat a number of the tests that were initially negative or normal at the outset and now may provide clues to the diagnosis and how it might be treated.
Avatar f tn Eduardo Benarroch of the Department of Neurology, the Mayo Clinic who can be contacted at, The Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic 200 First St. SW, Rochester, MN 55905 I wish that I could be of more direct assistance to you but the entirety of what you continue to experience is beyond the level of my expertise.
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.
1100598 tn?1413127426 Ever since then, I have had chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting spells, weakness, back pain, a worseneing cough, low grade fever, chills, rash on my belly or chest, and nausea. The swollen lymph nodes have also returned. My doctor says I have bronchitis/walking pneumonia and put me on doxycycline on tuesday, but I am not feeling any better. I only have one day of antibiotics left.
Avatar m tn I went to doctors and was diagnosed with ear infections and walking pneumonia. They did CT scan and MRI on my head and found nothing. They never really diagnosed me with anything, but I had dizziness for about 4months, migranes, and light headedness. Terrible 4 months. Computers were tough to look at and reading was really hard as well. The migraines were just awful.
Avatar f tn SAID IT DID NOT LOOK LIKE MS AND TO COME BACK IN 6 MONTHS FOR ANOTHER MRI. NEEDLESS TO SAY I AM GOING TO THE MAYO CLINIC. I HAVE NO SYMPTOMS EXCEPT FOR THE ONE EPISODE OF PASSING OUT. ANY SUGGESTIONS?
5093508 tn?1390543931 Pleurisy is a specific type of chest pain. The following, from the Mayo Clinic, is a good definition. “Definition By Mayo Clinic staff Pleurisy Pleurisy is a symptom occurs when the double membrane (pleura) that lines the inside of your chest cavity and surrounds each of your lungs becomes inflamed. Also called pleuritis, pleurisy typically causes sharp pain, characteristically when you are inhaling and exhaling, with or without cough.
Avatar f tn Sorry typo/clarification... I've been sick since Thanksgiving 2016 and off work since December 23, 2016.
710085 tn?1238023364 It means a pneumonitis with no known (or found) infection, but that keeps coming back, sort of hiding out in your lungs until it gets a chance to strike again. They sent my biopsy to Mayo Clinic, and the report they got back suggested the it was probably BOOP, caused by a medicine I was taking for pain. It is a rare response a very few people have had to Vicodon or Neurontin. That's one of several kinds of BOOP.
Avatar f tn Yes “walking pneumonia” is contagious. The development of more symptoms, in the face of antibiotic therapy, is worrisome as is the “side pain” which I assume to be pleurisy and suggests that this infection may fall into the category of complicated pneumonia. In this circumstance you should definitely request careful reevaluation by your doctor or his designate to include at a minimum a repeat chest X-ray, a complete blood count and culture of your sputum.
Avatar f tn You can go online and register or call to set up appointments at Cleveland Clinic and the MAYO Clinic. MAYO has three clinics in the U.S. You do not need a referral to get in to either of these clinics. I have also heard of people the drive there and tell them their symptoms and sometimes they get in right away. So, you might want to consider checking them out online and trying to set up an appointment. I hope this will help you, as I know how frustrating this can be and disabilitating.
1609219 tn?1298104935 I am very sensitive to smoke, and that can trigure a sinus infection-but can that really turn into walking pneumonia? Is it possible It has never totally left my system? Any help would do. Thank you.
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 f tn I only recently discovered Chiari after a lifetime of searching for answers to my own symptoms, I go to mayo in LaCrosse wi, not by choice but because mayo owns our insurance company, so we are ONLY allowed to see mayo drs. (yay) I have never had a good experience. EVERY person has their damn nose in the air and they ALL already know whats wrong with you, and its always that youre a mental case. end of story. I wish their true nature were publicly uncovered.
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.
