p8d Posted August 29, 2015 Report Share Posted August 29, 2015 Hi All,I'm looking for others in the Milwaukee area and their experiences with Dr's. I'm seeing an ANS neurologist with Aurora but after 6 months and (at their request) sending a list of my symptoms for SS disability insurance this Dr suggested I see a neuropyschologist and seems to think my LONG list of neurological problems are not physiological (even with elevated epi/norepi levels on blood work and 'anxiety' always at 4pm daily). I did go for the initial interview but it destroyed me for 36 hours, mental overstimulation is one of my biggest triggers apparently. I have an appointment at Medical College of Wisconsin with Dr Chelimsky in January and a naturopathic Dr for possible Lyme next week. Just wondering about any experiences/suggestions for ANS Dr's in the area. Thanks.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kclynn Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Just got on here and saw your question. I'm from Milw but haven't lived there in a long time. I've heard lots of good things about Drs. Chelimsky. You should be in good hands there. As to the Lyme, I saw on a slide from Dr. Grubb at the recent Dysautonomia conference he listed Lyme as a cause of POTS. My son has Pots and was dx two years later with Lyme by a cdc positive blood test, though a positive blood test isn't required for dx. As for the Dr. referring you to mental health, this unfortunately is a common scenario when a Dr. doesn't have answers, blame the patient. Lyme can cause many neuro psychiatric symptoms. Good luck with your treatment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8d Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Hi KCmom,Thanks much for the info. I didn't know Dr Grubb believes Lyme can be a cause. I know the whole topic is controversial. Nice to hear good things about Dr Chelimsky. Just wish I didn't have to wait so long. Hopefully the Lyme treatment will start to show results by then. Thanks again.P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kclynn Posted September 12, 2015 Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 I'd be calling very regularly to check on cancellations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
