I thought I finally had my first cold sore but no it fits mouth ulcer symptoms perfectly. Also I ran out of both my iron and B supplement a few days ago. I swear I’m immune to cold sores somehow. My mother had them my whole life and my husband’s tongue has been in my mouth many times for years.

Thanks to the 30% of people in my county that I didn’t know existed. I don’t know who or where you are, but it’s nice to know you exist.

Something I haven’t heard anyone talk about before that I think is true is how much doctors are influencing women to turn to actually bad alternative medicine, antivax, etc. through dismissiveness and medical gaslighting. Doctors aren’t innocent here either.

I’m at 22 years of health issues (some extreme) with no diagnosis. In the 17th year I found a doctor who listened and started testing and referring me to specialists. I did get one diagnosis but that was for an issue that popped up much later, and it was easily fixed with surgery.

I think I deleted all of my posts because this is public and I want to share thoughts without people knowing I exist, which creates a paradox of sorts, but it looks as if I deleted the post that says that the blueberry is mine and I have the evidence if anyone tries to claim it, so I’m adding that.
