@lidiana You seem to have 2 questions/problems here: the need for life documents and your health. I think the other members have given good advice on Living Wills and DNR orders.
The bigger question seems to be changes in your health. It’s can be frequent, and not unusual, for doctors to “dismiss” female patients. That happened to me and made the time getting a diagnosis much longer. You might want to find a comprehensive medical center near you and see i you can get help there. You might also keep a journal of your symptoms: frequency, intensity, major changes, what makes them better or worse. Being sick is very difficult. You need to learn how to advocate for yourself.
Is there anyone who could come and help you organize?

Thank you so much 🙏🏻 I did ask for advice on this end of life planning cuz I’m feeling really sick but in sharing I discovered it’s very normal to do this and be prepared regardless of the situation. About the symptoms well I have been documenting everything on a binder chronologically and my phone. But I’ll definitely try to be more specific but I can see a pattern related to digestion and menses. I’m taking out dairy and refined sugars to see if my inflammation can go down. But I’m trying to build a local team since it’s to hard for me to go up there for treatment. I still want to keep my main team at Mayo since they are experts but I need locals that are willing to or are already educated on what ever rare conditions I have or could be diagnosed, including the comorbidities. It’s really hard but I believe together we could work for the benefit of my health. Above all I’ll keep having my faith 🙏🏻🌼 Blessings 🙏🏻
