Hey Jim, Your story really impressed me and unfortunately these misdiagnoses are more frequent that we imagine. I've just discovered your channel and hope you will continue to post here, because you are talented and have very interesting info to share with us. I know it's difficult to reach more audience these days when unfortunately people generally are looking for more trivial stuff, but if it matters I just want to say from the bottom of my heart "Thank you for your time and effort to share some of your experience and knowledge that may change one's life in good of course". 🙏 🙏 🙏
This is why I always ask the doctor "how exactly does this medication work in my body in general, how does it stop or suppress my disease and are there any side effects?". If they can't or won't give a comprehensive answer, I see no reason to trust them. The antibiotics pandemic is more dangerous than most diseases, because when you eventually get a dangerous disease the antibiotics won't work as well!
Sure, I usually ask that also and the doctor will give answers. The problem is, when you’re misdiagnosed none of that matters. When the doctor believes that you fundamentally have something wrong that you don’t he can easily explain to you what the prescription exactly does and what it contains etc etc, but if it’s taken for the wrong reasons which unless you’re a good doctor yourself you wouldn’t know, you will still follow the advice and get the consequences.
I'm sorry about the adventure you went through. At least the outcome was a full recovery. I would love to see the scene with the doctor that threw away the antibiotics across the room. Totally crazy. LOL
I know, what's funnier is even though I didn't understand a word of what she said, I totally got the point. I had the gf translate of course to understand perfectly but was nuts. Such an aggressive reaction.
I got mono when I first went back to college. It was one of the worst diseases I've ever been through. I, like you, thought I was dying; the pain was so intense. Two weeks of absolute hell - and then I just feel fatigued for a long time after. Definitely don't ever want to re-live that ever again.
I'm glad I got through it too. I really appreciated your videos; I was looking at potentially moving to Greece because of a remote position that I'm being hired for and I found them very enjoyable and informative. :)

@@thesouthernsinger2763 that’s super awesome! Thank you for the kind words, I have to get back to creating…!
Are you vaccinated?
This happened about 4 years ago (thought I mentioned it in video) before COVID-19 even existed. So vax-status has nothing to do with this.
