I started having novel seizures in February of 2023. After a bunch of specialists, tests, and labs, they couldn’t find anything wrong. One went so far as to claim it was all in my head.
My family got one on video. Doctor didn’t want to see it.
Finally, Dr. McCullough was able to diagnose what was happening. His staff used the term gaslighting to describe how others were treating long haulers like me.
It’s ugly out there.
I had nursing instructors from WWII- “placebo effect” and “iatrogenic” were taught early in the 1st semester. I got the “figure it out” look when I pointed out an infant vaccine label listed mercury as an ingredient. We were also encouraged to ask oncologists if they’d take their own treatments because none would. It was number one in the state, and a diploma program, so of course it closed within a few years of graduating in 1983, and not long after I was informing a university hospital I’d quit if the Hep. vax was mandatory for nurses. I got out before 2010. The bachelor’s program nurses I worked with were full of propaganda and most could barely function clinically, but were really good with paper work and writing care plans they couldn’t actually execute.
How did your long covid treatment, with Dr McCullough, go?
I hope you’re getting back to feeling normal, again, after all of your suffering.
