You’re tired. You’re in pain. You’re sick of being misunderstood. You need some answers, but where do you start?
How many doctors have dismissed your concerns? How many have prescribed medication for symptoms without finding the underlying cause?
And how will you pay for help if you find it? You may not be able to afford medical insurance because of the high premiums. If you do have medical insurance, the deductible or co-pays may be doing you in.
