Golden Words of Wisdom

Throughout my illness, I have been extremely blessed with an amazing team of physicians, the absolute best in the whole entire world, in my opinion! My primary care physician, my local cardiologist and my cardiologist/electrophysicist at Vanderbilt have been truly amazing to me since I became ill. I don't know what I would do or where I would be without them.

Unfortunately, many people out there who suffer from this same illness and/or many other debilitating chronic illnesses are not as fortunate as I have been. Many go month after month, year after year, looking for a physician who can help them. Many have been told that there is nothing wrong with them and that their symptoms are 'all in their heads'. When you've been sick and in pain for any length of time, it becomes very hard to deal with, physically and emotionally. When you've been sick for months or years and then have someone tell you it is all in your head, it can leave you feeling devastated. I am SO thankful that my cardiologist know almost immediately what was wrong with me and was able to find treatment for me quickly. However, many people out there, some who I've become very close to through blogging, have not been so lucky. It makes me extremely sad for them. NO ONE should be told that their pain and sickness is something that they've made up! That is just WRONG on so many levels.

Today as I was surfing around the internet, I found this video of The Golden Girls. It is priceless. I wish every doctor had to see this before graduating from med school!

I'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Lisa at Mom's Misc. Adventures for featuring my blog today as her 'Blog of the Week'! I am really excited that she chose me and I would appreciate it if you all would hop over there, read the feature and give her a little bloggy love! Thanks so much and have a wonderfully blessed day!
