But as you say, sometimes things just "are." At least some things have been ruled out, which is all to the good. Still, I imagine it gets tiresome, producing these weird sets of symptoms for the docs to ponder over.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-8356098400218666942017-04-19T17:19:42.454-05:002017-04-19T17:19:42.454-05:00From a person who hasn't breathed well since 1...From a person who hasn't breathed well since 1979, I feel your pain.Starting Over, Accepting Changes - Maybehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06032033918798053005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-77776615159579083392017-04-19T13:40:14.208-05:002017-04-19T13:40:14.208-05:00right? my body is all kind of crazy. this is the...right? my body is all kind of crazy. this is the 4th thing that falls into the different-from-everybody-else category.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-30531391186288011212017-04-19T13:34:28.304-05:002017-04-19T13:34:28.304-05:00hopefully it won't happen again.hopefully it won't happen again.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-38543616616138669362017-04-19T13:33:58.949-05:002017-04-19T13:33:58.949-05:00you know what they call the guy who graduated at t...you know what they call the guy who graduated at the bottom of his class in medical school? doctor. my dad was a doctor and he instilled a solid skepticism of them in me. not that he was a bad doctor but because I was getting the inside story.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-89559746455687891632017-04-19T13:31:44.942-05:002017-04-19T13:31:44.942-05:00$360...co-pays for the doctor and tests. maybe yo...$360...co-pays for the doctor and tests. maybe you need better gut biota. have you tried live and active culture yogurt? and I don't mean the sugar filled fruity 'yogurt'.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-41562163551147809362017-04-19T13:26:15.058-05:002017-04-19T13:26:15.058-05:00this guy was from India and I did have a hard time...this guy was from India and I did have a hard time understanding some of what he said. at one point I even spelled the word just to make sure he was saying what I thought he was saying. he was not concerned with or interested in pursuing the problem, seems his main interest was in me getting my nose fixed which is not why I went to see him.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-48907301916225990382017-04-19T13:08:07.138-05:002017-04-19T13:08:07.138-05:00Go to an ENT from the far east that is hard to und...Go to an ENT from the far east that is hard to understand and they will figure it out. My internist figured out I had a bone spur in my sinus keeping me stopped up. I thought bone spurs were just in joints. I just knew it was the end. Seems nothing could be done about it.
