935.9I'm there!MAL009::MAGUIREWed Jan 29 1997 07:1419
    Update.....
    Well, I'm now a "believer/member/patient" at Marino Center.  I changed
    my primary physician over to the one primary (I think) there, and have
    had two acupuncture treatments, with a couple of more to try.  They
    have been successful in improving my situation immensely.
    
    I like it there; I feel that I'm listened to, and that they will pay
    attention to my opinions about my "self".  I also like the initial
    testing to try to find out where my body is "at".  When all results are
    back, I have a followup with my doctor to see where we'll go from here.
    I've already discovered a possible reason for a moderate weight gain
    that I've been having trouble dropping, but was putting all the blame
    on the fact that I've not excercised for some time.  Blood tests showed
    a "sluggish" thyroid.

    Hi Lorraine,
    
    I'm studying homeopathy and would like to know if what Tom suggested
    (the homeopathic remedy) worked for you or not. Thanx.

935.11MARINO CENTERHOTLNE::YOUNGMon Mar 03 1997 06:163
    HI LORRAINE,
               I WILL TRY TO EMAIL YOU. IN CASE IT DOESN'T WORK CAN YOU 
    GIVE ME SOME INFO. ON THE MARINO CENTER?
935.12LORRAINE MAGUIRE ON THE MARINO CENTERHOTLNE::YOUNGThu Mar 06 1997 04:416
    Hi Lorraine,
               I tried to email you and I was right it didn't work so I
    hope you check the replies. I am ontrested in The Marino Center be-
    cause I feel that doctors don't listen to me. Also I have a severe
    case as TMD, formerly know as TMJ. I would like to know as much as you
    can tell me about it.
935.13Here's a little, but call me....MAL009::MAGUIREThu Mar 06 1997 14:1015
    I checked VTX ELF for info on you to try to get your phone number.  
    
    Why don't you call me on dtn 257-3804 or 617-388-3804.  I see your
    notes are entered in the wee hours of the a.m.  I usually come in about
    5 a.m.  If I don't answer the phone, call my beeper; 617-465-0124 and
    I'll call you right back.
    
    I started to put a story in here, but then figured I'd rather talk to
    you.  But, in short, I would say you should have an interest in alterna-
    tive health, and to want to take care of yourself.  It's a blend of
    both traditional and alternative methods.  They only have one primary
    physician.
    
    Regards,
    Lorraine 
935.14Mail on its' way..MAL009::MAGUIREThu Mar 06 1997 15:124
    Hi....I sent you another mail message with more detail.  You did get 
    the mail from me, right?  Check it out.
    
      
935.15Remedy helped...MAL009::MAGUIREThu Mar 06 1997 15:178
    Hi...
    
    Yes, it worked, albeit temporarily.  I'm not confident enough in
    prescribing dosages, but maybe a treatment plan by an experienced
    homeopathic dr. may have helped more.  Right now, I'm working on this
    with my practitioners at Marino.

935.16MAGUIRE ON CENTERHOTLNE::YOUNGFri Mar 07 1997 04:3315
    HI LORRAINE,
               I AM THE ONE WHO HAS BEEN WRITING TO YOU. I AM FEMALE IF
    THAT HELPS AT ALL. IT JUST SEEMS THAT I HAVE A VERY WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM.
    EVERY TIME I GET SICK LIKE I AM NOW IT SEEMS LIKE IT TAKES YEARS TO
    EVEN EASE UP A LITTLE. I HAVE TO GO TO MASS GENERAL. THAT'S WHERE MY
    ORAL SURGEON IS. I HAVE TO HAVE JOINT SURGERY AND TESTING DONE IN APRIL.
    MY POINT BEING THAT I WILL BE IN THE CAMBRIDGE AREA. WHERE EXACTLY IS
    THE MARINO CENTER. I COME FROM THE FITCHBURG/LEOMINSTER AREA. I NEVER
    SEEM TO BE ABLE TO GET A DOCTOR TO LISTEN TO ME. PLUS, I HAVE TRIED
    JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING FOR MY TMJ DISORDER AND NO DOCTOR WANTS TO EVEN
    TOUCH MY MOUTH BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID I WILL TRY TO SUE THEM. SO THIS
    SURGEON AT M.G. IS BASICALLY MY LAST HOPE. THAT IS THE MAJOR REASON I
    WANTED TO CHECK OUT THE CENTER. I WILL HAVE TO TRY CALLING YOU. WHAT
    HOURS DO YOU WORK? I DON'T WANT TO CALL YOU WHEN YOU'RE SLEEPING. SEE
    BECAUSE I WORK THIRD SHIFT.
935.17Work Phone #'s in .13MAL009::MAGUIREFri Mar 07 1997 13:5418
    Hi....
    
    In note .13 I put my work phone number and said that I come in at 5
    a.m......so you won't get me sleeping because I'm here.  You could call
    me anytime before you leave, just leave voice mail if I don't answer...
    but I'll be in the office somewhere.
    
    The center is on 2500 Mass Ave in Cambridge, but up at the area where
    Somerville, Medford, Arlington and Cambridge all border each other. 
    So, it's a bit of a hike from where you'll be, and it would be easier
    to plan your route out ahead of time.  Of course, if you get on Mass
    Ave and just keep going, you'll get there eventually.
    
    Please tell me if you are getting the email I've sent you.  Are you
    able to at least read mail?  I'm not getting anything back telling me
    it didn't get there.
    
    Lorraine
935.18BCBS doesn't help muchHOTLNE::YOUNGTue May 13 1997 23:063
    I have to say now that i've visited the Marino Center I have to admit
    that I love it there. Except for the fact that my insurance BCBS only
    covers 20%. So I had to pay $200.00!
935.19Glad you're happy....MAL009::MAGUIREThu May 22 1997 18:3720
    Glad to hear that you love it, but sorry to hear about the $$$.  I'm
    fortunate to have Tufts Total Health through a former employer, GE, so
    I've been responsible for co-payments only.  But, it still gets
    expensive.  I've come to the conclusion that to get healthy and keep
    yourself healthy costs MONEY.
    
    Between shopping at Wild Harvest, and antibiotic free meats, and fish,
    etc., yipes.  
    
    Did you see Susan Carroll?  She told me a young woman came to see her
    and gave my name as a reference.  Since I could only remember my sister
    and sister-in-law as making appointments there, and they are not what I
    would call "young" women, I thought it might have been you.
    
    Do you think you'll be able to continue there, or ......  If I wasn't
    feeling better than I have in years, I'd have to rethink it, but in all
    honesty, Dr. Gordin has pretty much given me back my life in diagnosing
    the yeast condition I had.
