I have Crohn's disease. I found a functional doctor they can also go by holistic doctors. I also worked 6 months with a dietian. I could not have figured out how to treat Crohn's without out their knowledge and testing.

You are at a point you need to seek out a functional doctor. Autoimmune disease are complex. Medical Doctors say there is no known cause. That I'm my opinion is because the causes are unique to each person. And it takes Discovery to figure out where to begin to reverse the inflammation caused by the autoimmune diseases. Medical doctors don't have the training to do that. All they have the training to do is to prescribe drugs immunosuppressant drugs.

Thank you! I started with functional medicine, chiropractic, herbalist but have been thinking about looking into a doctor/functional medicine who specializes in latent diseases. I’ve had Lymes mentioned before, which from what I read can look like PMR. I grew up on a farm, hunting etc and did have one event I can remember where I believe a tick bite got missed by a doctor. Didn’t present real typical. I do have the left side weakness and some other things that line up for this.
It would be chronic long term at this point. All this too started happening after a miscarriage 2 years ago and after having Covid at 7 weeks postpartum. Hence all the hormone stuff. I have quite the long long story of every practitioner under the sun…the one thing that has helped at all is a magnesium infusion.
Curious of anyone you’d recommend that is also knowledgeable on Lymes this way and PMR if that’s likely the diagnosis?
