My veins said no more!!! I was not nice to my body as a wee sprite. The past three months, I have been INCREDIBLY ILL. My heath concerns have been passed on from one specialist to another. This medicine to that. But I met a doctor that spent 2 hours (yes, in the US) asking all the questions. Her conclusion; “girl, you have a ton of shit going on.” (She swears and I love it!) I don’t even know how many times I have done labs in the past two weeks. EKG, Xray, CT, endoscopy, colonoscopy, three ultrasounds, stool samples, urine and alllllll the blood (my veins are on strike). I had to FIGHT to get someone to listen to me. Dx So far: colon cancer, twisted intestine and toxic blood due to a genetic switch that turned on.
I had to FIGHT for someone to take me seriously. Now I have to fight insurance to pay for the “urgent” tests… FAQUE INSURANE AND FAQUE the American heath care system.

You are a woman with tummy aches? It's probably just period or maybe you are pregnant. Actually, probably just over reacting.

This also applies if you are +30lbs overweight; doctors will always blame that first .

Dunno what this costs.... but it costs 1000 dollar to fly from Houston to Amsterdam. Hotel room for a week another 1000. But free health care......

I am 4 weeks in. $5000 out of pocket max will be hit soon.

Ok so it would be cheaper to fly to Europe for a vacation and then go to the E.R. over here ....
