Hello again Peter,
Thank you very much for the compliments. I'm glad I can help.What do you mean your doctor won't give you verification? Do you mean that he refuses to refer you to another doctor that uses SPECT? If that's the case I really don't think you need a referral to find a doctor that uses SPECT anyway.
To answer your first question: Sorry, I don't know of any clinics in the New England area (I live in TN). But I'm sure they are there.
In regards to your question about meds: Yes, they generally do want people to be off all meds for two weeks, but many times that is not a practical consideration. I really don't think it’s a big deal. But on the day of the scan they especially want you to not drink any coffee, smoke, or take any stimulant medication because that greatly influences the scan. But you'll have to ask the doctor.
