My thoughts…
I still find it weird how it took 18 years to figure out what was affecting my health. Ever since I was about 10 months old my mom has been struggling to find a solution to my out of the ordinary reactions.
I visited allergy doctors in both New Jersey and Florida; and still no doctor could give me a solid answer. I visited neurologists, dermatologists, allergists, orthopedists, and endocrinologists.
I almost gave up hope in finding out what was going on with me. My reactions were so varied and to doctors’ opinion “unrelated” (from joint pain, constipation and unexplained bruises to dry hands) that doctors did not believe my mom or I. Going to the doctor was a physically and emotionally draining event.
