I see alot of doctors for a number of reason including fatigue.  I came across ME/CFS recently and learned that it is recognized by the CDC and the AMA and Dept of health and human services but when I bring it up to my many doctors they either get ittitated or laugh or just say they never heard of it.  Does anyone on this forum live in Texas?  If so who do you see for treatment and do you know if there are any studies being done?

    I live in Hobbs, NM. I've looked, but couldn't find any studies to participate in around us. I see a neurologist, but he knows nothing about this disease either. Sorry.

    thank you.  I just spoke wioth Mrs Head in California and she said they just finished a study in Bethesda, Marlyand.  My doctors seem to refuse the whole idea of ME/CFS

      Unfortunately a lot of doctors are ignorant and arrogant. Have you tried an infectious disease specialist? I'm in Los Angeles and see dr. John chia, who's great. Dr, Jose Montoya at Stanford is another me/CFs renowned researcher and Doctor. Check the "solve me/CFs initiative" website.
