    Listened carefully about my chronic fatigue that began in [omitted], suggested adding a few supplements to diet which appeared low after blood work results, schedule me for a sleep study but I was never contacted by those who conduct it (now have their number, provided by Dr. Horton and will schedule sleep study in the near future)---very out of town for 2 weeks, Heard that about 50% of Dr Horton's patients have fibromyalgia and are treated for this by him. I've had this auto-immune disease since [omitted] and was treated by rheumatologist up until [omitted]. Now Indiana rheumatologist don't treat this because it isn't a rheumatoid disorder. I hope Dr. Horton will be able to treat and help me.

    He hears everything but doesn’t listen. His post consultation notes are extremely thorough, but he seems very uninterested while the patient (me) is talking or answering his questions.
