The fact that she diagnosed herself faster and more accurately than so-called doctors says a lot about pathetic state of the medical profession today.

[@jajairaberrios2981]

I agree, and the fact that they told her that perhaps she needed to put some lotion on for the itch upsets me so much. I remember when I went to the hospital and told them that I feel pain in my entire body and that something was very wrong, the doctor told me, Oh, your young, maybe you need a vacation or something." Still yrs later, no one can tell me why my body is in pain, and they say, "Oh, I am not too concerned about it." No, because you aren't the one with Joint pains every day. I am the one suffering everyday. The lady is this video had to do her own research to find out she had cancer, who knows where she'd be today if she hadn't helped herself. It's so scary.

[@xaviergough9359]

She did not diagnose herself. She had nonspecific symptoms which match a myriad of illnesses in a differential diagnosis list. An oncologist is the only one who can diagnose cancer if we're strictly talking about evidence-based medicine.

When I lived in Iran, I got a stomach ulcer at 19 yo. As soon as I entered the doctor’s office and said “hi”, he looked at me and said “you are having internal bleeding!You probably have a stomach ulcer”. Literally just by looking at my face he knew what was wrong with me!!! Needless to say, he later confirmed it with an endoscopy. But since I came to Canada, I have been brushed off by doctors many times because they are so incompetent. They failed to diagnose a HUGE uterine fibroid which was as big as a melon! How do you miss that?!!! 🤣 I ended up going to Iran to have the operation to remove it. Yeah here is the “advanced medical system” we have in the West. I now diagnose myself before going to my appointment and just use the doctor to either write me a prescription or the diagnostic tests that I think that I need to confirm my diagnosis 😂

[@LadyBug1967]

What you said is so important because at my hospital we can get our records after we've seen the doctor and I always do and I have diagnosed all the problems I had from the covid vaccine and due to the fact that it was me who diagnosed them and me who saw them he doesn't even write it down. It's really bad because when I make a reference to another doctor I might see as to something that occurred to me what it was how it was solved he says there's no record of that in my medical records. God is going to become extremely aware that his ego was so big that my primary care doctor would never put down anything that I diagnosed and solved. That is criminal literally because there's no record of it and later doctors have no understanding that what I'm saying is actually true that it occurred and that actually is probably involved with what's occurring with me right then and there in their office. I always get a big feeling if they somewhat trust me because they know how doctors egos are so huge that unless they discover it they won't note it. But nevertheless I have no medical record of any of it.

[@curtisayers7933]

@@christinecraft8890 What most, if not all of these personal testimonies have in common is the concurrent psychological trauma of navigating the western medicine system. Story after story include tales of patients being dismissed, treatment being deferred bc patients self-report of symptoms aren’t taken seriously only to have disease progress, and a suspicious amount of women having probably the toughest time being taken seriously. Medical training today is a business of turning out “hacks”, and not “critical thinkers”. So, this isn’t a matter of not utilizing medicine vs self-treating. I don’t know where you got that from. Rather, these stories provide “a wake up call”, to the greedy industrial complex of western medicine to maybe put patients first instead of profit. I’m not sure you synthesized these main themes from these personal and vulnerable stories.

[@kbell4288]

This story made me feel so much less alone! My symptoms (large swollen left supraclavicular lymph node, itching, fatigue, weight loss, night sweats) started in February of 2023(end of my junior year) The doctor told me I had bartonella of all things! I had a gut feeling it was lymphoma all along, but felt dismissed. Things continued to get worse until November of 2023 I developed a fever and could hardly function from fatigue and back pain. I was sent to a larger hospital until eventually ending up in the children's oncology floor of a hospital 4 hours from home and finally diagnosed with stage 3 hodgkins lymphoma in multiple organs and wrapped around my spine. After months of treatment and hospital rooms, I can finally say I've been cancer free since March and am now graduated, married, working, and living a life I love. Recovery is a long road but God has gotten me through it. Thank you so much for sharing your story❤️

It's because the older generation thinks that young people can't get sick. They think young people should just "suck it up" when they're in pain. I usually hear.."Wait until you get to be my age, then you'll really be in pain."

​@@1timeslime971times1, is really important the work that you're doing. I believe I had lymphoma following the covid vaccine but my doctor refuses to acknowledge it. I eat a really clean diet and I increase my ability to clean up my life in terms of my diet my sleep etc and it finally went away. In those days no one was even going to the hospital unless they had covid so I did it all by myself. And many other things that resulted from the covid vaccine again I did them all by myself in terms of diagnosis and resolution. My doctor refuses to acknowledge the fact that I had any of the problems I said and that I saw them as well. That's the arrogance and the ignorance of the medical profession. Keep up the good work

Same for my friend. He 25 and literally had the same symptoms as you, including the back pain. Spent months getting seen and no one could figure it out because they kept trying to only look at his symptoms individually, rather than group them together. He got a new job, new insurance and switched doctors and they figured it out right away. It was so sad. Thankfully, he survived.

My daughter at 16 was diagnosed also with stage IV Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She had an enlarged lymph node by her collar bone. Took her to the pediatrician who said it was from a cold. Fast forward 6mos, 4 office visits and a demand for labs and a chest X-ray and we end up at CHOP, she had a mass in her chest. 6 months of hell passed and she is now a very healthy 23yr old.

[@TripletMom21]

One of my triplets has had swollen lymph nodes all over his neck. The pediatrician said every day always look on collarbone, armpits then we can be worried if you find one. He is seeing a endocrinologist this Friday for falling off the growth chart. Still has swollen lymph nodes. 25# age 3. Never hungry, always cold. My whole family thinks I'm crazy and a helicopter mom for putting him through this appointment.

Thank You Amanda. My sister had early stage breast cancer and was able to get away with a lumpectomy, radiation and reconstructive surgery and she has been cancer free for the past 30 years thank god. I myself have always had annual mammograms and nothing was ever found until one year my left breast became extremely itchy for no obvious reason. It was constant all day every day and for about 4 months I put up with it and then finally went and saw my GP. I had a mammogram and they found a cyst, it wasn't cancer but just having a benign cyst triggered the itching in me. I continue to get my annual mammograms and am happy to report no incidence of cancer. I'm so glad you pushed and persevered to get a diagnosis and I hope you continue to be cancer free for the rest of your life.

Have you had your iodine level checked? Dr. David Brownstein has interviews on youtube and wrote a book regarding iodine deficiency.
