"Afflicted" series on Netflix
I don't know how many of you have watched it but the suffering of these people, some with multiple auto immune disorders may feel familiar.
In the middle right now. It feels very similar, though I was lucky to get diagnosed Celiac and MC by the first GI I went to (thankfully). But she does still wave off my other symptoms like stomach cramps, joint pain, fatigue, and trouble loosing weight as not due to either of these conditions.
It's very sad how our current medical professionals in the US refuse to broaden their minds and realize that the there are things in our environment now that have never been there before (or in very minimal amounts) and these could be affecting many people. Chronic Lyme is also a big issue; I can't see how any Dr would not treat someone for chronic Lyme when they've had a positive test AND are still having characteristic symptoms. :(
