Soooooo, I called and an Elaine called me back. Very nice & informative. I couldn't be in the study now as we hope to go to FL soon.......but did ask abt an office visit & she said they are usually 6-8 wkds out but I could call for an appt. I REALLY LET HER KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE I WAS HAVING THO.
I did call and gal in office.....after I mentioned talking to Elaine, said she would ck w/Elaine and get bk re an appt. When I called back she had checked and I got an appt in abt. 1 week...!!!!!!!
This is a DR.Wm. Chey at Genesee Hospital, 325-2390.
I would definitely try calling the STUDY # 1st & see if it works out for you. Guess they will have studies in the spring, etc. too. I see fr. looking under WebMD that he has pretty good reviews!!!!
I don't know which type you have, but you may want to try this. GOOD LUCK if you do!!!!!!!
Berky, The info above is fr. the D & C. Don't know which kind of IBS you have, but you may want to try the above!!!!
I know how you FEEL abt docs in this area!!!!! They REALLY don't give you a chance to explain your problems........!!Would you mind telling me who it is you do see?
Am glad you haven't had any attacks recently and hope you continue to do well........!!!
I just can't seem to get mine under control. It's better than it was tho, maybe OK for a few days and then off again. GRRRRRRRR!!!! It's a constant battle.so to speak!!!
Good Luck,
Marnie
PS I will try to find that site that shows all the docs and their ratings, etc., and post it when I find it.
