Biggest lessons learned....

....Since the beginning.

Love my doctor! But always be you own advocate.

When I started my monthly check-ins with doctor almost 2years ago, it began with doxy.arith combo.

I thought ...Cool..The last doctor said you have "it" ..Then you don't. This one acknowledged what I already knew.

Along with prescriptions, I was sent away with supplements to aid in my healing. I didn't get much more advice except for diet change, gf,SF.

I wish I had taken my own advise and done the research that I have do diligently learned to do. I would have found his forum long ago and learned so much more.

What about I to say may shock you because I know you guys thought I was smarter than this.😁

My doctor never stressed detoxing, so for the 1st year, I popped antibiotics downing them with diet a&w root beer. I know! Right?? I would have figured out this very big common sense item. Yum yum nutrasweet!

I also would have figured out I had intercistal cystitis when my pee came back neg for bacteria.

Although my babesia symptom was the extent of 2 night sweats 6 months earlier, I would have strongly suggested treatment.

I would have mentioned the little red dot on my face that looks like a Cindy Crawford mole, that looks like Bart in every pix I've seen. Treatment?

And my continuous fainting...Is it pots or not? But it's my suggestion, again my own research.

All this I learned for myself after 18 months of going nowhere, with worsening symptoms. Would anything be different in my journey? Maybe, maybe not. But at least I would have felt in greater control.

Also, I wouldn't have asked the dumbest question Of all time!

Are there people you see that are sick like me?

Lol how dumb, naive and self centered!
