A hearing doctor told me about my husband possibly having heart problems and that I should get him to a cardiologist asap. Turns out he was right! I'm so greatful to that doctor!
i knew Lauren growing up in that we went to the same school. I never realized she went through this. She was always nice to everyone and a a truly amazing athlete. I'm not surpirsed she sovled this and helped others in the process.
Go to your eye appointments! It's amazing what eye doctors can catch. It's not all about getting glasses. The eye doctor is the one who found my brain tumor at a regular check up.
I went to an eye exam and the lady that gave me the exam said that she needed to speak to the eye doctor and he would be in to talk to me soon. The eye doctor gave me another exam and said that I had blind spots in my vision and there was pressure on my optic nerve. He diagnosed me with pseudo-tumor cerebri. Lucky for me, it was a mild case, but the damage is done and I still suffer from blind spots.
Dan's illness reminds me of my husband's. My husband has Autoimmune Anca Vasculitis, it has a 95% mortality rate. His blood vessels swell & cut off blood, killing his organs. He has permanent kidney damage / disease, nerve damage to his extremities (Neuropathy), most of his small intestine & 1/3 of his large intestine have been removed, he has chronic pain, chronic anemia & permanently low platelets. He's had 8 major surgeries & innumerable smaller procedures. He has to take immuno-suppressant medication & Prednisone to keep his immune system from killing him. He has been suffering from this for the last 10 years, it's very rare & incurable. He is now 100% permanently disabled.
My cousin suffered for years from inflammation, muscle weakness and pain. She died at 40. After a battery of tests no one ever did figure out what was going on. She donated her body to science.
Most Dr's. Don't know what porphyria is , how to test for it or even treat it. I have learned so much about my own disease (Hereditary Copropyrhia or HCP for short) that usually I am the one educating my Dr's. To my understanding it is more common in Europe and parts of Africa. It embarrasses me every time someone calls it "The Vampire Disease" and then they laugh. It's not great not being able to go outside without fully covering up and using sun screen constantly. It is a hereditary disease passed down over generations but stems from royal families inbreeding.
This is refreshing to see a Doctor actually diagnose porphyria. There are 7 different types and the only issue I have is he didn't name which specific type she had. There are, I believe, 3 different types that cause neurological pain/issues. I can only remember 2: Acute Intermittent Porphyria (AIP) and Hereditary Coproporphryia (HCP). I have HCP and it was a fluke they found it at all. Sometimes you can have an attack and it not show on some tests. Some medications/food/environmental stuff contribute to attacks.
Honestly the first case baffled me. The patients fever wouldn't go away after being treated with antibiotics yet the doctors continued pumping him with more! No one thought that it might have been something else??? The first thing that I thought was that he had vasculitis no one thought of that??? The rash inflammation and the eye problems gave it away
I can understand the fear from the second lady. I suffered with bad bad headaches and for years and years untill I got diagnosed with cluster headaches. No cure but understand that I wasn't going to die.
i have a relatively common autoimmune disease and it still took years before it was diagnosed (and i had to figure it out myself through hundreds of hours of googling and ask the doctor to run the test, so i guess i had to diagnose myself lol)
My mom got the first disease when I was young. Thanksfully she was diagnose on time but wasn't responding to the treatment at first. The doctor kinda lost hope for her. But she did finally respond and headed with no damaged. But she got "stuck by a lightening twice", the disease came back few years later. This time she almost lost an eye, but lost pretty much all of her toes (they where totally necrosing). She suffered many years later from the pain coming from her toes even if the disease was gone.
But... we know where pilonidal cysts come from. They are caused by animal or human hair, that is actually quit sharp, is forced into the skin usually from inadequate cleaning
always the same question in the end, along the lines of "why didnt the doctors figure it out earlier"...and always the same answer: BECAUSE ITS RARE. I mean its the premise of the show, if u cant figure it out thn I dont know
I think it’s really odd how the man (Mr Hammond) refers to Himself in such a detached manner. Specifically, when speaking about his legs, he says “the legs” rather than “my legs”. I wonder if he’s in some denial about the whole thing, or if he just doesn’t see it as having happened to him. It just sounds extremely odd to hear a person speaking about themself in such a ‘clinical’ impersonal way.
She mentioned she hid alot of it which im wondering could have contributed to failed diagnosises. If she doesnt be honest and give EVERY symptom...they dont have the FULL pic so this is poss on her much as them not givin her a proper diagnosis tbh!
Is commenting about that you are the first viewer or commenter really that important? Lol..I mean, what is it that people are trying to prove? Too much free time? Is it a competition? :D Amazing!
I also don't get it, is it some kind of attempt at being relevant by really shallow means? Seems they have nothing actually important to say but still want to be on top 🤷
It’s an American thing- they have to be first in and of everything.. First to go to the moon....? First to break all kinds of world records..?? World champions....? The greatest country in the world..?? So there you go..!! It’s terrible.
How could u be pumping antibiotics without recognizinv what going on in body. Fever can stem from whole lot of diseases. How would his antibiotics act of disease is from fungus or viral or autoimmune or problem with hippocampus in brain.
I honestly called this very early in, before he was going blind. I said "his body is attacking itself" woot woot 🙌🙌🙌 And I have a sixth grade education, but a high IQ.
I just do not get doctors - why they appllies antibiotics for EVERY sighn of infection WITHOUT doing simple and quick CRP test?? in this case my first thought was "give him corticosteroids and make more test for type of infection" it also might be something caused by virus so again, why antib???
The endocrinologist had a “r” speech impediment that should’ve been treated in childhood. My brother has remnants of the same. Mine was “s” & “th” which still occur when I’m fatigued.
I wish someone could diagnosed me haha. I have at least 30 diagnosis that I'm being it have been treated for. But no one can tell me why I have Fiat spells that are fixed by closing one eye.
there is probably one or two root causes/diagnosis for those 30 diagnosis you have, like heaps of them could be conncted, but at that point you need someone like dr. house to connect all the dots for you. most doctors would put it in the 'too hard' basket.
What a wonderful doctor Dr Marshall! We need more doctors like him!
Thank you for not putting the diagnosis in the title anymore. I love the suspense and trying to figure out what it is 😁
Totally couldn't guess the first one. Never heard of that.
Me too. I try to guess tests or diagnoses. And what is freaky is that about 90% of the time I am right.
@@SireCs133 I'm not in school.
I am also very happy that that diagnosis is not in the title. Keeps us in suspense

Read “Cancer is not a disease” by Andreas Moritz. He has many other books that can help you regain your health.

You were lucky, the eye doctor that fall on my raffle look more like opticians

Did autopsy discover the cause of her illness?
It's unfortunate Lauren suffered for so many yrs. But Dr Marshall gave her her life back.

I believe he said the Acute type which would be (AIP) Acute Intermittent Porphyria
Another MD episode? In a week? Yes please!! 😍😍😍 My life's getting better everytime another MD episode is uploaded 😍😍
Doctor Merville Marshall is my favourite doctor ever! What a wonderful, sage man. Much respect.
Way to go doc. We need a million dr fosters out here.
Honestly the first case baffled me. The patients fever wouldn't go away after being treated with antibiotics yet the doctors continued pumping him with more!
No one thought that it might have been something else??? The first thing that I thought was that he had vasculitis no one thought of that??? The rash inflammation and the eye problems gave it away
I thought it was bubonic plague, especially after the spot on his chest.
Because he is a lawyer.
Lol
Most Drs would pump steroids if they do not know what is going on, just giving antibiotics?!
I can understand the fear from the second lady. I suffered with bad bad headaches and for years and years untill I got diagnosed with cluster headaches. No cure but understand that I wasn't going to die.
A very courageous young lady and that wonderful doctor
This is favourite TH-cam channel please keep making mystery diagnosis they're soooo interesting! 💕
Only if all doctors were like Dr Foster, marshall
And Dr Marshall!
And Dr.Mike
Just realised dr foster is also from the bechets disease episode as well
Most of these mystery diagnosis are related to the autoimmune disease.
Petra O. cause everyone forgets that your body can turn on you
Yeah
And although they're rare, there seem to be endless different forms of them
i have a relatively common autoimmune disease and it still took years before it was diagnosed (and i had to figure it out myself through hundreds of hours of googling and ask the doctor to run the test, so i guess i had to diagnose myself lol)
@@emsmnms3507 That is right, it almost cost my sister's life.
These 2 Doctors are just great!!
Nice catch at 14:51, caught himself .00001 seconds before he said "prostate"
The shiny calves and swellong should have been a huge clue about some form of vasculitis
I am an MD. A pilonydal cyst is common and we know exactly what's the cause
Dr Foster is a brilliant physician.
What a great and brave woman Lauren is!😊😊
I am happy that Dan had survived to that awful and terrible disease!😊😊
I want to be like Dr. Marshall 😭 I hope I can become a dr one day.
What an outstanding discovery-
My mom got the first disease when I was young. Thanksfully she was diagnose on time but wasn't responding to the treatment at first. The doctor kinda lost hope for her. But she did finally respond and headed with no damaged.
But she got "stuck by a lightening twice", the disease came back few years later. This time she almost lost an eye, but lost pretty much all of her toes (they where totally necrosing). She suffered many years later from the pain coming from her toes even if the disease was gone.
Thank you for the frequent updates.
I am very entertained that a Harry potter book appears to be amongst the medical ones on the shelf
maybe the doctor believs magic can fix everything
Dr Marshall ❤️
so glad her and her wife got a happy ending
As always, I liked this episode. Keep the excellent work up!
Dr. Foster was in another Mystery Diagnosis episode as well! (Behcet's Disease)
filip4900 do you know what episode that is? I have Behcet's, and would love to watch it!
kylie macleod Just look up mystery diagnosis behcet’s it’s in two parts
I want the second case doctor to be my doctor. I no longer find doctors like these!
Ophthalmologists are the best!
Why can’t all doctors work like this? If someone keeps on coming back with the same symptoms and yet no one tries to find out why!
My favorite show right now
Dr foster is amazing!
Such amazing doctors! 👍👍👍
But... we know where pilonidal cysts come from. They are caused by animal or human hair, that is actually quit sharp, is forced into the skin usually from inadequate cleaning
Amazing doctor! Wow!
Two medical mysteries that defy the experts
When illness strikes, we look for doctors to give us answers
If these ppl LISTENED to their patients in the first place properly..half these illnesses would become this bad! 🤬
I could have told you it was porphyria from the start! One google is all it would have taken
Love watching. ❤️📺👀
always the same question in the end, along the lines of "why didnt the doctors figure it out earlier"...and always the same answer: BECAUSE ITS RARE. I mean its the premise of the show, if u cant figure it out thn I dont know
Thanks luv your content 😉🇦🇺
There was an episode based on that
Great docs
Amazing! That’s three MD this week!
What is Lauren taking with her Acute Porphyria is she taking the Heme treatments aside from High Carbs & supplements?

It's possible he experienced depersonalization
K Armstrong yes! I think that’s what I was trying to say. Thank you!
Mary Hammond looks like Princess Laya from Star Wars don’t you think ,,,so glad everything turns out ok
Why do we have to have all these breaks and adverts in the videos?
A SHOCKING new symptom .....
how did Lauren manage for all this time?
She mentioned she hid alot of it which im wondering could have contributed to failed diagnosises.

Can this channel get a new narrator... most annoying, emotionless voice ever.
I have no problem with the voice. Perhaps you are playing it to loud?
This is a TV show from the 2000's, they can't change the narrator now.
It's a tv show. That is hysterical.
I wish someone could diagnosed me haha. I have at least 30 diagnosis that I'm being it have been treated for. But no one can tell me why I have Fiat spells that are fixed by closing one eye.
Tigger Nordberg what is a fiat spell?
What's a Fiat spell?
I think it should read faint spell. Lol
there is probably one or two root causes/diagnosis for those 30 diagnosis you have, like heaps of them could be conncted, but at that point you need someone like dr. house to connect all the dots for you. most doctors would put it in the 'too hard' basket.
