Let me test you. My doctor diagnosed the problem in a minute. The only symptom was swollen arm pits. What was my problem and what was the cause?
But, did the doctor make the right diagnosis? My doc diagnosed me immediately too. Wrong on everything. And more than once. And this was more than one doctor. So it's wasn't a case of one idiot and I caught the golden beebee. It was a sort of professional "State of the art" everywhere I went.
Actually I'm surprised you (and others) don't know there are maybe half a dozen websites where you can order and pay for your own bloodwork and urinalysis labs to be done - THAT'S what you don't need a doctor for...as long as you know how to interpret them, which is also not always straightforward.
Thanks I know that but why should I pay for my once a year labs? I like my integrative MD...and see her once or twice a year. Why assume and think I don't like my MD. I just don't run to doctors for every little boo boo.
I like to work on issues that are a little off in my annual labs. Like when potassium is low end of range, I'll work with extra potassium for more energy.
And when D comes in lower than I'd like, I work with that on my own.
I read my labs pretty closely and work to make the changes I'd like to see.

Every single one of my lymph nodes was inflamed. What was it? I'll even help, 99% of the cases are HIV or cancer, but that wasn't it.

I had a friend who was never away from the doctors for minor things that others like myself wouldnt bother about... one day she was sitting and kept rubbing the top of her foot..........I asked her what was wrong, and she said Im off to the doctor Im awfully worried, about this lump on my foot... I had one look and said asked her,, Were you wearing laced shoes .. she said Yes................I just smiled. but she still made sure she saw the doc.. he sent her to have an x ray..........not a thing wrong.... now surely a doc should look first for the most common thing....some people just like attention too... where Ive given up on doctors.. last time I saw mine , quite a new doctor, nice man.... I tried with him to get help for my chemical allergies which Ive had for years ... he told me that maybe in 20 years stem cell therapy might be able to help but in the meantime no.. just avoidance to all the things that make me ill............which is everything.. so Im like a prisoner in my own home apart from the park with my dog.... he then went on to tell me about his own sons peanut allergy...I just stared at him..... and asked him why its taking so long to take this illness MCS seriously by the medical profession and why nothing has been done to help me in over fifty years..................It doesnt kill you or cant be given to others.. maybe thats why.... and why I find my own help with supplements.. even when I mentioned Leaky Gut he looked puzzled... another invention by so called crackpots who want to find answers that doctors wont.. so yes I google and often to find answers, thankully now there are loads of sites I can join and talk with others..unlike 20 years ago when there was nothing at all or hardly anything to help....Since 11 years ago Ive been a volunteer contact for Allergy UK to try and guide others what not to use with the condition and alternatives they can use around the house and for personal use....at least I can give small pieces of information to others. something doctors dont seem to bother about.. If they dont know how to cure it they ignore it...
