Are Private Clinics "Cashing In" On False Lyme Diagnoses? (read caption)
I share my perspective on this topic as someone who got overseas testing for Lyme and has been to private Lyme clinics. Studies are underway to try and create a more accurate mainstream Lyme test, as the one used by the NHS and by hospitals in America only has a 50% accuracy rate.
The NHS doesn;t diagnose of treat chronic Lyme despite 700 peer-reviewed studies and articles showing that Lyme and co-infections can persist despite antibiotics. ILADS document showing references to over 700 articles: www.ilads.org/.../uploads/2018/07/CLDList-ILADS.pdf
The NHS (and doctors in mainstream American Hospitals following outdated IDSA guidelines) as to deflect responsibility and save money by saying we all have ME/CFS as they do not want to be sued for not treating people.

OCD Not Responding To ERP/CBT? Factors To Consider
มุมมอง 1673 หลายเดือนก่อน
CBT/ERP is the gold standard therapy for OCD, working well for around 80% of people. However, not everyone is lucky enough to respond to this. Tourettic OCD, PANDAS/PANS, Autism, and Delusions may cause a person to have to an atypical OCD experience, and therefore need atypical treatment. It is vital that practitioners distinguish between intrusive thoughts and mental tics as they ARE different...

It Isn't Always Just A "Different Way Of Being"... Neurodiversity Terminology Talk
มุมมอง 3135 หลายเดือนก่อน
I am different, that's obvious, however I do not agree with the erasure of the term "condition". My Tourette's is certainly a condition, that sometimes requires medical management to keep me safe. I don't think it is natural to involuntarily injure yourself and I don't think that can be celebrated either. Of course though, there are aspects of TS and other neurodivergent conditions that can be ...
The Medical System Wasn't Designed For Chronically Ill People
มุมมอง 2045 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video I talk about how the conventional medical system ignores root causes, neglects chronically ill people, gaslights many people, doesn't look for systemic issues enough, and why some people choose functional medicine. I am a 21 year old with POTS, PANS, Tourette's and likely Lyme. I've seen many different doctors throughout my life and these are issues I have noticed within the medic...
The Negative Aspects Of My Autism Diagnosis (With PANS & Tourette’s)

An Autism diagnosis is a blessing for a lot of people as it gives them the answers they need, gives them the ability to request accommodations, and gives them the ability to understand themselves. However, the stigma and negative attitudes around Autism can lead to some negatives - such as medical gaslighting, medical neglect, and assumptions being made about an individual based on their diagno...

      I agree - I have been abused by other Autistic people, however sometimes it's just a human mistake and the autistic person needs things explained to them rather than being demonised for something they're not even aware they did.

    • @ChronicAdvocate
      @ChronicAdvocate 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Autism isn't an excuse for abuse especially if the persons already been told, but at the same time if its something unintentional and you haven't told the person why that's harmful or its something that isn't really harmful or abusive like not making eye contact then that's not the same thing at all.

      You should look into Lyme - it can run in families (Congenital Lyme - Infection spread through placenta) and can cause symptoms identical to MS including brain lesions and is also often misdiagnosed as Fibromyalgia or ME. I have family members with traits of those things but it is all Lyme.
