Friends;
I want you to have the information about the clinics I talked to you about. They are on Facebook and the next link will take you to their Facebook page...
This next link will take you to that assessment that I told you about. Take this assessment and they will e-mail back the report and what they have discovered.
This link is to their home page on the net. Listen to the Director and founder and hear what he has to say. Explore this site and look at what the patients have to say.
You don't know how discouraged I was this summer... But then I think you can. That's when I noticed this Fibro and Chronic Fatigue Clinic on Facebook. I went on their web page and posted something about men with Fibro. This guy from New Jersey contacted me and said he didn't know any males with FM. He had just started at the clinic and was fighting with pain. He had retired a year ago from the New York Police Department. He just couldn't keep up. We have communicated ever week or so since. He went through some tough times when they were killing off some of the crud in his system. As bacteria and other invaders die off they give off deadly toxins into the blood stream. These over whelm the liver and kidneys so it actually makes you sicker. Once they are gone you really start feeling better. This is at about six month and it's seems to be up hill from then on.
They told me that they can take payments for a commitment of one year. It's $500.00 per month or $6000 for a year. This takes care of all the clinic visits, doctors appointments and most of the hepatic medicines. There will be a separate charge for any lab work that is done by a outside lab. I was told that it would not be more than $1,000.00 and that my Medicare will pay part of these cost. On their site you can search for the closest clinic to you. They currently have 14 clinics across the United States so you can find one closest to you. You in Alaska may have to come to the lower 48 to get help.
The Clinic in Las Vegas is only about 125 miles from our home and we can stay in at the Air Force Base Base Accommodations for a cheep rate. We can also take our travel trailer and park it at the Air Force Base in their RV Park. Las Vegas is the most cost effective place to fly into in the United States. They keep the fairs low so people will come and gamble. That means we can take advantage of that for our needs.
We are going to be ordering a new travel trailer that is designed to work in the heat and cold weather. That way we can bring it to Salt Lake City (300 miles one way) to the closest VA Hospital. I want my own bed to sleep in when we are away. This trailer will be well insulated and have extra heavy duty air conditioning and heating systems. It also has a separate bedroom in the front with a bed that can be walked around and closets on each side of the bed. Also a TV for evening watching. The whole back of the trailer is the bathroom with skylight over the shower. A regular toilet, sink and medicine cabinet. There is also a closet for linen storage. This trailer is made by Jayco and I have been researching them for the last three years. I can only find one or two used ones. The owners just don't give them up. We are having things like a tank less water heater installed. Plus all the extra insulation and covering under the unit.
I hope this helps you understand what the FFC Clinic is about. But you must explore it and decide if it's right for you. I will be posting to my blog, hopefully daily as to my progress and what they are putting me through to get better. I pray that many will see my success and take the jump and get feeling better. If worse comes and I don't get better I will also post that. I have no connection with FFC and I have many friends and two sons that have FMS/CFS and I am hoping this is the best treatment.
Watch my Blog at: http://fmsjerrysblog.blogspot.com. I also use Webmd(see site link on the right) as a place to get answers to medical questions.
I hope this helps you and in seven months you see a totally new me...
