Undiagnosed - Preview 1

this is some of my current body of work, "Undiagnosed," documenting undiagnosed and chronic illness through photography. there is much more to come, so keep checking back.

if anyone knows a publisher, we want to publish this work as a book, and use proceeds to set up a fund for other people dealing with chronic and undiagnosed illnesses.

Thank you so much for this video - I would love to have a chance to talk with you more about your project and experiences. I have Fibromyalgia and many other diagnosis - but even though I have a great specialist - the treatments weren't helping, finally we found out that I have a very very bad case of Lyme disease - I relate to everything you said on the video. I have had my world destroyed by my illnesses and am fighting for my life.

Thank you so much for your work.

I am sorry to hear that you have fought this battle too. There are far to many people who have, and Lyme disease is simply not given the attention it deserves!

I wish you the best of luck in your fight!

If you would like to talk to me more you can send me a pm. :)

I really enjoyed watching that...quite a lot.

You're a great photographer and a brilliant person.

You have at that, a brilliant subject as well.

Good luck to you both...although I don't know what those words can honestly do at this point...

If there was honestly anything I could do...go over and pick some stuff up for the dogs or anything...I have a car and I can do it for you.

Excellent work, Jakki. Keep it up.

thanks. remember, you can come visit us at any time. . .not just to run our errands (although it really was a nice offer)

sometimes just having someone to hang out with and talk to is more helpful than having someone to do our chores.

[sascolnik]

Well...I'd like to hang out with you guys sometime. If that sounds cool...

[andromaca07]

we do come through C.H. occasionally, and you are always welcome here, just call if you want to come by.

Hi, I know this vid is a few years old but I want to say thank you. This is a very touching video. I have been struggling with an undiagnosed disease for over three years now. I'm disabled by illness, often unable to leave bed. The doctors have no idea what’s happening. Most people have no idea how hard it is to deal with a chronic illness, let alone the struggle of fighting the stigma and fear that go along with being undiagnosed. This is a great cause and an amazing video. Thank you again.

I popped in to see what was up. I watch Carey on her channel and think you two are beautiful together. Here, you had me in tears. What an amazing compilation. Your photographs rock. I am touched.
