Which Mayo?

I was inpatient for 3 months in 2002 at the Mayo in Rochester, MN & saw so many different neuros I can’t even remember all of their names. But I had a very severe case of CIDP & in the end (& $200,000 later), they told me that they had done all they could for me & that eventually I would die from my CIDP. I had the progressive form & they said eventually it would get to my lungs & diaphragm, & I would lose the ability to breathe.

It was actually at Fairview, part of the U of M in the Twin Cities where I was finally able to get the help I needed. I was able to get in to see Dr. Gareth Parry, who is world renowned in GBS/CIDP. He is compassionate & caring, something I hadn’t run across with most neuros. I would recommend him over the Mayo any day…
