There are many available methods for reducing the costs of testing and treatments.
We do not want to bypass medical expertise nor replace it under any circumstances, but in the majority of cases, many tests can be exercised by professionals whether they are needed or not.
Obviously medical assistance is important and often vital in the evaluation of tests. One needs to know which tests to take and when to take them to assure more useful results. Acting on test results without proper medical direction is not recommended, and can be dangerous to the point of being lethal, however here, what we hope to acheive is provide references to potential resources that, when used with proper direction can provide good and useful information to our membership which they can use to demonstrate to professionals that a real problem exists, bypassing the often closed and (sorry) sometimes ignorant professionals who refuse to accept the reality of our condition.
Please, post here resource information that you have found to be useful in providing access to information, that when used with caution and proper medical guidance, can assit our users to obtain access to information and assistance that otherwise is not available for lack of good open local medical resources in his area.
