Rose, what really puzzled me is this woman seemed to be "living" just fine BECAUSE she was able to continue working FULL time.
When I was at my "worst" I wasn't even able to wipe my own chin and husband hired in home care for me I was THAT ill and severly fatigued.
No way could I have worked, let alone get out of bed just to get dressed.
WHY wasn't she fatigued???
Isn't "that" one of the first signs?
What can we do to change any of this, I mean educating Doctors and Labs values so others won't continue to suffer.
This "illness" has ruined my life...I'm ashamed to admit, it damaged my brain and has caused a change in who I once was...I'm easily confused, easily upset, emotional rollercoaster...etc.
This is only the tip of the ice-berg regarding my health issues that continue to bother me.
It really worrys/scares me, wondering how many others out there just like me have died or continue suffering day in day out like I was....
and so many "what ifs" like what "IF" my husband never gotten me this lap top so could surf the web...
and what "IF" I hadn't found the proper information regarding B12 deficiency as being a possiblility what was wrong with me...
and what "IF" I was a person who simply beleived my doctors in what they told me that
"THIS" was NOT possible as my level of 232 b12 was normal range!?
How many others are out there?!?!
It makes me want to shout from the mountain tops....
or do something "drastic" to make headline news in order to get this out there
Not to worry...I'm not THAT brain dead!...
but like my motto says "No well behaved woman ever made history!"
There must be a way!...maybe take someone like Oprah or Dr Oz to get this word out?! There's got to be a way!
I will spend the rest of my life turning over stones to spread this word...as long as I have energy...
I don't want to make a donkey out of myself and discredit others good work...so am careful in ways I present this.
But there's got to be a way!
Blessings, cheryl
PS...I guess they've aired this program long ago and I missed it...
so I'm guessing you've seen it, but I am offering a DVD copy to those interested.
