I think those of us with invisible illnesses understand this quote more than the average person. We quite literally live it. Thank you, Plato :)
In other news – I’m off to my LLMD this afternoon. I’m crossing my fingers! It’ll be my first appointment since stopping all my pharmaceutical antibiotics last month. Many symptoms have lessoned, and a few old ones have resurfaced. I’m not sure what to think. I’m trying to go in with an open mind.
I’ll be back with an update soon!
Much love,
molly

Thanks Barbara! It went pretty well. I’m at what feels like a stand-still. Blah. But yes, it’s my original LLMD I saw yesterday. We’re arranging the consult. I know it’s going to be a good thing, but I’m still not thrilled. So much history to re-cap! Plus the new one isn’t covered by insurance. Wish that weren’t the case.
The update is in the works!
Talk to you soon. Much love!

Yeah, boy do I get you…one more medical history on barbara coming up. I took a line from Barbara Kingsolver’s book The Poisonwood Bible, she writes..”to live life is to be marked.” This book is about Africa..in case you didn’t know. And I wrote that line on a medical questionaire that asked me to relate my medical illnesses. I just was too weary of that story to recount the whole thing.
The LLMD’s that don’t take insurance are generally pretty good at their trade as they’ve learned that in order to offer really state of the art care they can’t be under the auspices of insurance doctrine.
But so far, my best doc is an Iranian N.D. named Kimiai who works in the same office as Klinghardt here in the northwest close to Seattle. Maybe someday you’ll actually be traveling all over for care.
I never thought I would, but I now sort of look forward to getting out of my neighborhood for the drive.
Okay…like I said earlier…we’re standing by.
