Mayo Clinic has really helped me a lot. There is a fibromyalgia clinic here that is really one of a kind. All the staff is up to date on the latest research. The clinic has a 3 day outpatient program for fibro patients. They determined that my condition is bad enough that I wouldn't bennifit from the program at this time. Mayo is trully a place of help and hope. The doctors here spend hours with you (instead of say 10 min) to really get to the root of the problem, and all your doctors work together to help you. Anyway here is the schedule for the fibro clinic outpatient program: Day 1-Meet w/ an RN nurse, and a doctor who is an expert in fibro. Day 2- 8 hr. class on learning how to live w/fibro. The focusing is learning strategies that don't involve medication. You recieve books while you're there. Day 3- Personnalized physical therapy session. *More appointments/tests will be scheduled for you if the doctor determines that you need them. The hotels in Rochester are understanding about schedule changes. Address: 200 First Street SW Rochester, Minnesota 55905 Website: www.mayoclinic.orgView Thread
