I have an autoimmune disease and way too many friends with them as well, so I'm very familiar with the seeing countless doctors. Most people ended up getting a proper diagnosis at either a rheumatologist or neurologist.


You and everyone else in this thread should know that "immunologist" is an existing specialty. Find one. Make sure it's not just an allergist, but an academic type with multi-system hospital privileges.


Any tips on finding one? I'm assuming you don't mean infectious disease specialist. I'm familiar with most of the allergists in my area and none are immunologists.I just did a search on google and I can't seem to find any in SoCal.

Are they clustered somewhere in the country? Like how all the geneticists seem to be on the east coast, and the limited geneticists here all seem to be in children's hospitals.


+1 for the Immunologist recommendation.

That's where everything finally came together for me.
