@peach414144 Right. And it is dangerous in many ways, but it is what it is. I have at least 3 DNA issues which are systemic in part or totally, affecting the whole body. RYR2, FKTN, GSN. That means Everything is targeted by these. But when I go to the doc, they want to limit the visit to one issue, per Medicare rules. BS. When I go, I need to mention a half dozen things at least, such as tachycardia, bleeding from the penis, syncope, orbital purpura and/or blepharochalaisis, liver failure, splenomegaly, nausea, dementia. I want the doc to, at least, get me some help for these issues. Problem is, the next closest specialist for any of these is about 2000 miles away.

I agree as we both see it for what it is. The doctor should treat THE WHOLE BODY and not just one symptom as any idiot knows they work together. We are a well mechanized machine and the oil (the bodies blood) feeds it with the cells and platelets within. I think the higher officials who own the doctors set the rules as this is the way they make more money at the expense of the patient. The expense is not just money but also the treatment of the patient. Now that I have put this in writing: Will I be put in my place by whomever? This seems to be the way we the patients are being treated nowadays. At my age of 82 I can see the difference and the younger people should know this. But I still have an open mind and will continue to evaluate accordingly. Love and caring to all Peach.
