Joanne M. replied:
Dr Rouen Bruni - homeopath - 53 Taunton Road- 0333940483 or otherwise Hilton Pharmacy had a free clinic to advise if you need a doc to give antibiotics or they can help with other meds. In mean time gargle with bicarb and salt and sniff up your nose. Drink lots of raw honey, lemon and ginger in hot water and REST.

Dr van Schalkwyk (R350), Dr Shearer (R350), Dr Bruni (R???), all as above, Dr Idrees Manga (R250) (Southgate Centre - walk-in consults)

Dr Kamer@Medicross Hayfields
Patricia W. replied:
Dr Chrystal Eaglestone-she's a lovely lady and is based centrally. Her consults are very reasonable and includes the medication if you are paying cash.
Anthony J. replied:
He's not in PMB Chantelle Horisberger, but try Dr Shearer in Howick (033 3307016). I live in PMB and take our children to him. Took my 6-yo to him after she had an upset stomach for 5 days and the home remedies did not help. He gave her meds but not antibiotic; cleared her stomach up within two days. Also R350.
Nicola D. replied:
Dr John Dunton, he's fantastic. Next to Burger Street Pharmacy, 0333428945

Selvan M. replied:
Dr Moola cnr boshoff st and church st

Thank you all so so so much for your suggestions! Took my boyfriend to Dr Claudine Lee in Hilton today. I am keen to try the homeopathic route when I next need a doctor. Brilliant to know there ARE actually quite a lot of good docs in PMB. Thank you, thank you!!!
Chantelle H. replied:
Zinhle - I have been very happy with dentist Dr Jooste in Longmarket street. A friend suggested him to me last year, very reasonable prices, and thorough! And great follow up. I'll be sticking with him for dental treatments 033 3425739.

Tracey Powell Matheson I did see Dr Howard but he did not do the T3 test which is very imperative for someone who does not have a thryoid. I have to be on t3 meds as well. Did he suggest T3 for you?
Patricia W. replied:
Judy Judi Pole Merrington is your T4 med (Eltroxin) .5 or 5 x100 tabs?
Have you ever considered seeing a neurological Dr. My little understanding of hormonal disorders is that a brain disorder/insufficiency is the route cause as its the pituatory gland that controles all of the endocrine and immune systems.

Its starting to sound like sufferers must start taking on their own illness issues. There are ways and likestyles changes that can change your life but one has to be prepaired for huge change. Nothing will happen untill we take full responsibility and tell our Drs what to do.

I had the adrenal saliva test. Dr Jakaran ordered it for me. it was done whilst i stayed in midlands hospital in jan last year.
Patricia W. replied:
Not too bad. It was a long process. they first gave me an injection into the arm muscle and then I had to spit into a tube every hour for 8 hours. Get your Dr to speak to Dr R Jakaran. the lab sisters collected the vials and did the injection. You would have to be admitted to hospital over a weekend as it's a long process.
