Better late than never, I guess. Recently due to sub-standard care received, I've decided to go on a "pilgrimage" for a second opinion. Between the MS (?), Fibromyalgia (?), Lymph edema (?), Osteoarthritis (?) -- so many of my symptoms run together. What do I actually have and can it be treated better than I'm currently experiencing???

So......does anyone have any experience with the following places: Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins or the University of Pennsylvania? No matter where I go, help will be needed getting there so the longer trip to Maryland or Ohio doesn't matter.

There seem to be so many "odd" things going on and being there are no MS Specialists/Clinics in this area, I'd like another opinion. People have told me that a teaching hospital is usually better for thoroughness. Perhaps there's something out there that could possibly make my so-called "golden years" a little easier with less pain.

Thank you soooo much for any suggestions you might have to share with me.
