{{NeedsImage}} '''Mark Donohoe''' is a GP and integrative medicine doctor based in Sydney, New South Wales, [[Australia]], who mostly treats patients with [[chronic fatigue syndrome]], [[myalgic encephalomyelitis]], [[fibromyalgia]], [[multiple chemical sensitivity]], and [[chronic inflammation]]. According to Donohoe, "treating a person with CFS requires time, patience, a willingness to hear their story and a commitment not to abandon them." He also claims that about half of patients referred to him by other GPs do not have CFS, but another diagnosis missed by basic tests.<ref name="nzd2012" /> ==Protocol== *Carry out a basic medical and family history *Obtain details of antecedents of onset *Examine assuming it is not CFS *Do basic tests - thyroid, heart, cancer, auto-immune *Organise a series of consults a few weeks apart *Discuss exercise and diet *Consider use of NSAIDs and Omega 3s for pain *Take expanded history if no results with tests *Further tests - urinary iodine, basic immunology, stool test, expanded serology *Work with a team of practitioners<ref name="nzd2012" /> He has also developed a stepwish approach called "GEMINI" - standing for genetics, environment, microbiome, inflammation, nutrition, and "the I that is We".<ref>[http://www.mimpractice.com/inimeg Mosman Integrative Medicine Practice - GEMINI approach]</ref> ==Contact== Mosman Integrative Medicine 4 Best Ave, Mosman NSW 2088 Tel: +61 2 9960 5755 pm@mimdoc.com == Talks and interviews == * 14 Mar 2019, ''[https://mecfsconference.org.au/videos/mark-donohoe/ ME/CFS: Clinical Experience 1]'' and ''[https://mecfsconference.org.au/videos/clinicalqa/ Clinical Q&A]'', given at the [[International Research Symposium - Emerge Australia|International Research Symposium]], Geelong, Australia, sponsored by [[Emerge Australia]] ==Online presence== *[http://www.mimpractice.com/ Practice website] ==See also== *[[Jonathan Turtle]] ==References== <references> <ref name="nzd2012">{{citation |last = Topham-Kindley|first = Liane | date = 2012-09-12 | title = No βcureβ for CFS but treat symptom|url= http://www.nzdoctor.co.nz/in-print/2012/september-2012/12-september-2012/no-%E2%80%98cure%E2%80%99-for-cfs-but-treat-symptom.aspx|newspaper= New Zealand Doctor|access-date= 2016-11-11}}</ref> </references> [[Category:Clinicians]] [[Category:Australian clinicians]]
