Chronic Illnesses of Millions of Women Left Untreated

I can relate. I too suffer from chronic symptoms. I have seen 8 specialists. For over 3 years I have chronic symmertic burning in both arms and hands (prickly, tingling burning hot/cold sensation) Chronic double vision in R eye is 6th Cranial Nerve Palsy. I now have a pulsating buzz in my left foot. I can not get any answers. I don't know if it is because medical standards are lower, I am female, or because I am 71. I feel blown off by Drs. I would love to hear a Dr. say, I can't help you but I know someone who can. Luckily I never give up, I am hopeful.

Dear Finnie, wow! You have hit the nail on the head. Do not worry on this to much as there is not much we can do. I am 82 and this attitude of many of the doctors is because (I think) they really do not care, it is beyond their expertise, or our age is a turn off, and if they have not suffered enough in their lifetime to understand, and on and on. But we all know this. Notice I said ,"many" of the doctors and not all of them. We cannot take this to seriously. I do not think that the doctors of today are as educated as what was before. Perhaps the educational system has regressed and on and on. What I do is to research on line, in books, wherever we can and with some common sense perhaps we can find some relief with diet firstly and loving ourselves. I do care for you and I am sure there are others as well. Do take care of yourself. Peach
