Hello again,
I hope you are all hanging in there!
I've been looking over ALL of my medical records I've requested from various dr's over the past five years and it is quite interesting.
All of the misdiagnoses that were given. All of the medications that only masked the symptoms and did NOT address the real issue. Makes me wonder if that is the NEW basis of the wham bam type appointments which seem to be designed to give you a prescription just to get you out the door in record time.
And when did it come to the point where the PATIENT told the dr. what they had....and not the other way around?
It is almost as if they wait for us to tell them..and if they like your answer then you receive a coveted prescription..but IF you are an interesting or unique case then ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE and you are on the losing end.
Time is money I guess.
A short list of differential misdiagnosis:
*GERD: given proton pump inhibitors of every kind $$$$
*Extreme Eye Pain: Grave's Disease!!!! OMG (no symptoms after treatment with anti-helmentics)
*Bloody Diharria: Given several colonoscopies over the years. Inconclusive. (Symptom gone after much worry and proper antihelmentic)
*Anemia: NO explaination. Was given iron prescription and sent on my way.
*Horrific Hemorrhoids: Dr. just said "they don't look that bad" (now gone with proper treatment)
*Chronic Migranes: No explaination. Given pain meds sent on my way.
*Nodules behind ears: NO explaination. Don't worry about it.
*Itcy scalp to extreme: Diagnosed with lice even though no visible lice present. Given EVERYTHING availble for this in the toxic permethrien dept. and still itchy two years later.
*Rash on legs and trunk: Dianosed with scabies. Given every topical, elimite, etc. Even prescription for Ivermectin. Did not touch this.

Does the CDC really have a way of justifying in their own mind the resistance in getting a handle on this disease. All of the down time and money wasted by consumers.....burden on the medical system, families, the community, the nation....by not saying a "PEEP?"
What in the HE LL is going on with the Kaiser study? Speak up!!
This is insane.
