@erikas Something that has helped guide me is always staying tuned in to your body - to be aware of causes and effects. For example, a friend had a procedure take place in the last and noticed a new symptom appear immediately afterwards that only made sense it was a result of the procedure (as it came on at the same time as pain from the procedure).

Knowing the root cause and your body is always key. Then do your own research based on the cause and common side effects others have had and make a list for yourself.

Then once you have a guideline of possible scenarios (side effects), it is then I would seek testing at the Doctor. Right after tests are conducted, request images of the tests so you can do your own research comparing symbols often found in image studies of others who had a similar complication as that found in your research with your images.

This will not only help guide you on the right path, but help to confirm the Doctor is on the right path (if he/she makes a diagnosis that doesn’t feel accurate to you based on the root cause).

As for treatment, depending on the prognosis, if options are not given that provide promises for full recovery, researching alternative treatment options not given by the Doctor (such as stem cell treatments, etc) can help so you don’t feel like you have come up against a wall.

However, one thing I know is there is a God in heaven who has He ability to tear down walls and make a way of healing when there seems to be no way. He is the greatest Physician and Healer of all. 😊 Isaiah 53:5.
