Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 You can't win for losing. If you "present" with your "complaints" you are crazy. If you ask for the mercy of death you are crazy. If you say, as you put it, "thank you sir, may I have another" you are lazy and still maybe crazy. I would not fault profoundly ill, exhausted and brutalized patients for what they do or don't do, because it doesn't much matter. Until society decides to quit pushing inconvenient truths aside and letting Big Pharma and the psychological establishment manipulate them, nothing will change. I think we need to attack those vested interests by highlighting their evil machinations against a range of illnesses, not to mention their incestuous relationships with each other, before we'll see change. --Bob phagelod wrote: When will medical orphans show some pride and get up off of their knees?

It is the role of psychology to legitimize denigration; to turn bigotry into a profession. There are many examples: Drapetomania, the refrigerator mother, the employment of Munchausen by proxy as a way to keep mothers in line, etc. I was minding my own business, investigating ulcerative colitis, but you just can't escape their bigoted pronouncements: "In the majority of the patients studied psychological abnormalities and disorders far beyond the range of individual differences in the average population were found to antedate the initial onset of the colitis. In relation to other investigations control groups of patients have been examined by methods which are identical with those used in the present research. In the ulcerative colitis patients the degree of difference from average individuals was so gross as to make a special control group unnecessary. A dated clinical history and a dated life history, taken independently and verified from relatives, showed that disturbing events in the patient's life had preceded the onset, return, and increase of symptoms more often than can be due to chance." quoted from a paper published in the 1938: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2211121 Ah, psychiatric anomalies supposedly predating disease onset. Sound familiar?: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17088506 Ulcerative colitis is an inflammatory condition, with recently, and clearly demonstrated genetic risk factors. Only bigots could assert a psychiatric cause for bleeding out your butt. However, "Ulcerative colitis personality" seems, now, to have gone out of vogue. So it is not that PWCs employ fashionable diagnoses….: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9456062 ….but that the defamation of patients with medically unexplained diseases by psychologists reflects the fad of the times. Yet PWCs go on saying, "Thank you, sir, may I have another?", whilst tolerating the "Uncle Toms" among us who promote "stress" as causal, and "brain work" as therapeutic. Who is more pathetic?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 I condemn, without reservation, those PWCs who have the strength to post on internet forums, but lack the courage to confront the " Uncle Toms " among us. There can be, and will never be, a reconciliation between the " Power of the Mind " faction, and the rest of us. PWCs need to appreciate that impasse, and to confront those PWC adherents of pseudoscience as worse than enemies--as traitors. That won't be enough, but I don't see a more plausible path than the one that starts with that step. We cannot hope to gain credibility when supposedly sick people embolden healthy people in further de- legitimizing us. > > You can't win for losing.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I have come to see Medicine mostly as a business that's necessary for Big Pharma to make lots of money. The business of medicince also seems to be regulated by the big Insurance companies- who take Big premiums from people, then deny treatment.. I don't see anybody actually looking for a way to cure anything (unless it's Malaria - then they're mostly just pushing mosquito nets). I've been 'round the barn with the AIYH (all in your head) dx.. But I don't really know how to answer Matts question. I haven't seen any inprovements in most diseases in 30 years, and my expectations are pretty low for seeing anything within my life time. I'm having a relapse of Lyme symptoms.... and am trying to manipulate whom every I have to to get what I want- (and I'm educated now enough in bacteria, and the chemistry of abx to know what I want and why). And I'm not adverse to go down alternative avenues to get what I want. I try to NOT be involved too deep anymore with any Dr...There's so few I have any respect for whatsoever. It's the position of a pawn in a bigger game. Barb > > > > When will medical orphans show some pride and get up off of their > > knees?

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I'm sorry to hear that your are relapsing. Advances in biomedical research are breathtaking. Genomics, proteomics, imaging technology, high throughput screening, etc. Getting that technology to work for medical orphans would not be so difficult. AIDS went from being a disease viewed as a consequence of sexual depravity to one that seems now to be perceived as barely related to risky behavior. Activists coerced society to do an about face, and develop both a blood test and dramatically effective therapy, all because they were *politically active*. Instead of directly confronting the bigotry that they are subjected to, PWCs have spent decades trying to restore their credibility by following various gurus who claim to already know how to diagnose and treat the PWC. Why demand representative NIH funding when you believe that some maverick already has the answers? What is so baffling is that many PWCs not only tend to believe that NIH-funded research is unnecessary, but explicitly downplay the potential for the NIH to produce something of worth to us even if help is necessary. How many more decades will PWCs spend promoting and pursuing this failed strategy? > > I have come to see Medicine mostly as a business that's necessary for > Big Pharma to make lots of money.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hey : Have you started therapy- and how are you doing with your relapse? Here's the update on mine.. I'm responding very well- as a matter of fact all symptoms have abated (headaches, very stiff neck, popliteal cyst on left knee, tinnitis, migrating pain and feeling like I'm coming down with the flu abour 2Xper week. In Dec. I started therapy: 1 month of 300 mg Doxy/day (I weigh about 130 lbs) 5 days of 400 mg Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ)and 200 mg Doxy per day 3 days of weaning off Doxy. 10 days of 400 mg HCQ and 1 gram of Clarithromycin (CLR) per day. I'm almost donw with the HCQ/CLR. I've not had any breaks between the abx. Interesting becuase in 2002 I couldn't stay on abx for very long at all and had to pulse everything becuase I felt so bad on them and had so many side effects (or localized herxes). I had to get off DOxy because of dreams escalating to daytime hallucinations. This time I only had 1 hallucination and 1 nightmare. In 2002 I couldn't take Zith becuase it slugged up my gallbladder within 24 hrs (Bms turned sand color, and I could feel my liver press on my right rib.). CLR is the same chemical class (but not exactly the same - collects more in the lung than the gallbladder). I haven't had any problems with CLR. So I deduce from all that that my bacterial load is WAAAY lower now than it was in 2002 - and my difficulties were probably mostly from die-off. In any case- I finish up this therapy in about 5 days. Hope to have another 4 years symptom free. I've taken measures for anti-yeast and will continue with that regime (maybe get a candida panel - haven't decided yet). Let me know how you're doing.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi again : 2 things you say mirror mine.. I repeat your statements below: PAUL SAID:i know it sounds feeble not recognising the > symptoms but the symptoms came on so cunningly ..Anyway three days back > i took 100mg of Doxy , it sounds a contradiction with such diverse > symptoms but the Doxy worked like magic and i am now symptom free. Its > quite a contrast to the times when i was utterly dependent on taking > high dose at least two abx's a day. END QUOTE : I missed my returning symptoms- thinking they were something else before I connected the dots...I was surprised by my own behaviour of misreading the symptoms.!! PLUS- Like you - a relatively short course of abx seems to be making all my symptoms abate. The only reason I am still on them is the HCQ/CLR seems to be improving my annular ACA lesions on my hand (That I've had for atleast 2 years-). Keep me posted.
