I am happy to share everything I have learned with you. My journey has been long (since 2011) and if I can help you expedite getting to the right doctors to diagnose/treat you, I would love to❣️ I feel like I wasted a lot of time trying to put the puzzle pieces of a very long list of symptoms together on my own. Many doctors look narrowly rather than holistically at their patients. We are one person with many systems that need to work well together. I think this is why there is so much waste I. The healthcare systems and poor patient outcomes. Doctors need to treat the whole person and seek to get to root cause or prevention rather than quickly prescribe medication and send you away due to time constraints. We can end up on a lot of expensive and harmful medications that are only masking/band-aiding problems rather than treating them. Many doctors do not take you off medications once you are on them so you really need to question why you are on a medication and ask to be taken off them if they are not helping or cause too many side effects.

Thank you so much. You have been so helpful already, I’m so grateful for guidance. I agree with everything you’ve said. Well Put!

Can’t tell you how many meds I am on. I’ve gone down the list and I need them. In time I may be able to reduce dosage but that will take time. Still, I’m hopeful.

You are so right. I say I have spasms in different muscle groups at the same time. It’s not like one decides to spasm stop then go then another acts up although at times it does happen like that but not lately. It’s in back, legs and feet.

Hopefully soon I’ll get somewhere soon. 🙏🏻
