Thank you for speaking out! I have had four doctors say they think I have mito disease, but we are struggling to get an appointment to see a Mito specialist. In the early stages of my misdiagnosis, I was actually hospitalized for Conversion Disorder, a pyscho-somataform disorder. That was the most traumatizing event of my life. I pray that your family will have great success in your battle.
Thank you so much for sharing! I have been very sick with mito (misdiagnosed for years) and have two children with it as well. Most of my family members have the disease as well but are not 'as sick' as my children and myself. I had actually been reported by a doctor for possible Munchaussen Syndrome by Proxy when my oldest son became symptomatic at the age of 4 months following his first cold, although that was years ago, the scars are fresh.
heartfelt hugs! I also have a mito disease. Thank you for speaking up; we need more voices to raise awareness. I've started a national fundraiser for the UMDF. (United Mitochondrial Disease Foundation) My project is called Beat MITO. Please spread the word! The information is up on UMDF national fundraiser page. It's a professional classical piano CD that I recorded myself that is being sold to raise money. Spread the word to any classical music lovers you know!
Thank you, for giving family's like ours a voice and giving other's just a small glimpse into what is our daily life of never ending struggles. Our family has not been silent either but despite our efforts currently we have no local doctor that will treat us or can. Not only can't we afford the multiple medications prescribed by our specialist for Mito specifically, we have no money for food or other basics.
