I was referred to the diamond clinic, but simply could not afford to go. I did the next best thing:I did a computer aided research at a local medical library at Baptist Regional Medical Center. I pulled every major article and book through interlibrary loan that Seymore Diamond has written. I then took his drug protocols to my family doctor, and we follow them. I live in a rural area of southeastern Ky-we do not have a neurologist and have to travel to Lexington or Knoxville for specialists. I tried "Long distance treatment", and it doesn't work. I have the chronic form and my condition changes each day and week to week. I have found that working with my family doctor is better than a specialist 100 miles away. I would caution you that out of town clinics could not provide you with much more than you can find yourself.
