  I am writing to let you know of a new service designed specifically for people with cognitive difficulties secondary to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Multiple Chemical Intolerance and Chemical and Mold Exposure or any combination of the above.
  
  This testing protocol has been several years in the making and is the result of a multidisciplinary effort between myself (Dr. Ellie Stein), Gerard Alberts, Chartered Psychologist; Diana Monea, Optometrist; Anne Wooliams, Audiologist and Matt van Olm, Pulmonary Physician.
  
  The objective of the testing protocol is to objectively measure the cognitive and sensory dysfunction experienced by people with the above disorders.  The protocols are based on those used now in the United States by Kaye Kilburn MD and Nancy Didriksen PhD, both of whom have been generous with their time and expertise to assist us in getting started.
  
  The testing itself will take approximately 15 hours of in person assessment time with 5 different professionals.   We are able to organize referrals for out of town clients if booked far enough in advance.  It would be difficult to schedule all of the assessments in less than a full week and probably 10 days would be more realistic especially for clients with energy limitations.  All clients will receive a written report summarizing the findings of each specialist, recommendations arising from those findings and can then discuss the report at an in person follow up session.  For out of town patients this feedback could be done by phone.
  
  In addition to providing a clinical assessment we will be accumulating data (without identifying information) for research purposes and further learning about these yet poorly understood disorders. 
  
  Please contact myself or Gerard Alberts if you would like more information or wish to discuss a possible referral.
  
  Sincerely,  Eleanor Stein MD FRCP(C)
