We've had a few people here who have gone and were disappointed. I have no personal experience.

Maysa, I don't know anything about the Mayo Clinic, but have you been to a sleep doctor and had a sleep study done? If you have insurance, they'll pay for it. If you could get your sleep problem sorted out, that could make a world of difference.

Thx for that info about Mayo. I may call them. I think there is also the Chicago Rehabilitation Institute (I may be wrong about the name), but they also work with fibro patients. I've thought of calling them.

Have you tried a shot of B-12 for your fatigue? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Has your dr prescribed anything so that you will sleep through the night? I'm currently on doxepin and it works very well. I don't take it every night, but when I do, I sleep through the night.

However, I did go through several other meds before finallly finding one that worked. The other meds were: Noritrypteline, Amitryptiline & I think one other.

Also, having a difficult time finding a good anti-inflammatory. They eitther are totally ineffective, or make me so sick to my stomach I can't take them. So, it's muscle relaxers! Yay!

Hope you feel better! ~Gentle Hugs~

My Mother went to the Mayo clinic when she was first dx. back in the late 80's and fibro was still a "new diagnosis", they didn't do anything that helped her back then, but hopefully they have learned a lot since then. But as I see it, if there was really any decisive treatment, you wouldn't have to travel to get it, local places would pop up over night, with people standing in line to get in. There is just not much anyone can do for us at this point.

Yes. I go to mayo clinic. I start out general Dr. Lundstrom. He is great . He ran a lot of test and sent me to other Dr. They talk to each other there. He did not think it was fibromyalgia however all test were within normal range dec2010except depresses got on wellbutin. Helpsbut then august2011 went to fibro clinic 3day study teaches you about the subject. And they determine if you have it. I was took very bad case and may have a 2nd problem. I now see general and nero doctors about 6months apart. Diet sleep and exercise are what counts the most. Also med that work for you. I had tried the fibrous drugs before going to mayo didn't help me made me worst. Good luckeveryone is nice at mayo even the billing dept.

Dont know anything about the Mayo Clinic itself. From what I had read related to their site information on Fibro, they havent got a clue.

I live in Canada and have decided to go to the Wasser Pain Mgmt Clinic in Toronto. It takes 4-6 months to get an appt time. Geesh. The reason I deciced on them was that they had some very interersting info on Fibro and they are all Neuroligist. They seemed to be moving in the right direction.

That is only advice I can give you. Research the clinics you are interested in before you waste your time.

Good luck

I live near Rochester and it took the Mayo clinic 3 years to diagnose that I had fibro. They do have a fibro. clinic. I was sent there and they have a 1/2 day seminar to explain exactly what they know. Suggestions about what to do. And then they offer acupuncture, and some occupationaltherapy to make working easier, offer some biofeedback for stress management. But i found after that they basicly send you on your way and then you are referred back to your regular doctor for care. I did get a referral to the pain clinic for migraines, but if your looking for miracles they don't have all the answers....I was disappointed.
