Fibromuscular Dysplasia

I hope this doesn't sound indifferent or cold, but it's strictly up to you! You have to live under your skin and behind your eyeballs. You are the one who legitimately, and naturally, would want to improve his/her circumstances when at all possible...no? You are the one to assign any weighting to a condition you have, and to its prognosis for future changes to your life.

Me, I want to control what I can, including a doctor's take on me as a person and as a patient. I learn all I can about a new development, wring it dry to the extent my aging brain can do it, and then present in front of an expert...often months later in our vaunted Canadian 'socialized' medical system. They soon learn that I know at least some of what they understand, both about their craft and science, and about me as a person who pays their bills.

If you are worried about this, and who wouldn't be, then do everything in your power to advance your case and to get it resolved to the extent any one expert practitioner can achieve that for you.

I know nothing about FMD, but if it's at all genetic, there's not a lot you can do. If it's reversible, then I would do what it takes. If it's manageable, I would do all that I could stomach doing if only for the most peace of mind available to me.

Thanks for the link to CC's website, @rashida. It was a great explanation. Do you have FMD?

@hopeful33250 no, I don’t, but when someone writes about a condition/treatment and wants to know more, I look for a relatable. article/link . lol. In the process, Imlearn something too. 😊
