Thank you for the love. Everyone is misunderstanding me so it's nice to see some still care. My primary care physician dropped me as a patient and said I said I wanted that and I DIDN'T. (I have a witness but it didn't matter) No one can understand me because I'm stupid in my head and I say wrong things. I am sorry for misunderstandings but it doesn't matter.

I went to a different neurologist yesterday I think and he legitimately told me "if USCF can't figure it out, how am I supposed to help you? They're the best in the COUNTRY. I usually refer people to them. We're limited here. They've already ran all the tests" (they haven't and he refused to even have me try to remember anything, he didn't do ANY testing on me.. or even explain my MRI results. he told me basically I'm Humpty Dumpty. He told me it's all in my head and it's autonomic aswell.. he kept saying "oh wow" like he just dropped acid or somerhing lol. In and out in less than 15 minutes)he even started raising his voice at me untill I told him I didn't want to be argumentative and gestured my hand to say calm down. It's okay because I'm not really here. Picked up my medical records from my primary today and just have no one. 🫩

I tried smile and I can't take good pictures anymore. I'm more than "so tired" I can't fully feel. It doesn't matter I complain too much, sorry. I'm too truthful and I don't mean to just say what's on my mind too much.

Anyways I tried to make a new video for you guys on YouTube if you are bored, it's there

The bad hospital experience that led Aminta Kouyate to become a doctor.

Going to the hospital isn’t fun, it’s when people are typically at their most vulnerable.

And for many people of color, traumatic encounters with the health care system are a reason to avoid going to the doctor. But for UC medical student Aminta Kouyate, it sealed her decision to become a physician.

Aminta was an undergrad at UC Berkeley, tackling general chemistry and physics, when she woke up at 5 a.m. with debilitating abdominal pain. Doctors first suspected appendicitis — but when the imaging showed her appendix was fine, “the tone in the room changed immediately,” Kouyate said. She was left for five hours by an open exit door in a hallway in just a thin patient gown.

“I was told I could leave at any time because they were not going to give me what I was looking for,” she said. “They thought I was there to seek pain medication, that I did not actually have a medical emergency.”

Finally, a Black nurse noticed her sitting in the hall and made sure the doctors addressed her problem and gave her the care she needed. But the experience left its mark.

“Nobody should ever have to have to feel this way,” she said. “I thought to myself, ‘If I have anything to do with it, nobody’s ever going to treat another patient like this again.’”

Keto Diet May Ease Multiple Sclerosis Symptoms

A new study from UCSF is turning heads — researchers may have found a way to ease symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) without needing to follow the strict keto diet. It all started with an experiment on mice, a special compound, and some surprising help from gut bacteria. The results? Pretty amazing. Could this discovery lead to a new, easier treatment for MS and other autoimmune diseases? The…
