Mystery Diagnosis TV show

[Janice]

I was watching this a few days ago, and there was this high school girl who had some kind of digestion problem, she could not eat, and was losing weight fast. She went to many many big brain doctors who could not find out what it was.
They said she was doing it to her self, she was anorexic. That she neaded mental help.
She was dying!
To make a long story short, she kicked in and did her own research...and found test that no one had done. She and her mom brought this info to her next appointment and demanded they be done.
Low and behold the test came back possitive and she most definetly would have died if left untreated. So all is fine with this young woman now. She saved her own life with her research.

Thanks Janice.

There's a similar Discover channel programme - Mystery ER.
Episode 8 has a second part called 'String Theory', about a lady with Morgellons. Has anyone seen it? A couple of uk morgies have discovered their affliction through seeing it recently.

“STRING THEORY”
A woman feels a profound fatigue and sleeps up to 18 hours a day. Soon she feels as if invisible rats are crawling over her. These “invisible rats” seem to leave strange sores. When the woman puts her sores under a microscope…the mystery deepens in ways she had never thought possible.

Doctors have gotten lazy. Labs are limited by insurance companies who set the bar.
Nobody is going to look after you except you. When all else fails...Research!!!
Or take a number



Great point Janice
