In this episode we delve into Alison's origin story with Morgellons. We take a journey starting with years of being told "it's all in your head", then to being mis-diagnosed by lazy Doctors who continue to gas-light. Onto an accidental treatment success with a drug used for depression and anxiety, to finally feeling "seen" for the first time by an incredible Doctor willing to explore and know more! Join us for the ups and down, trials and tribulations of the Medical Industry, not just here in the US, but also in Europe and beyond!
Stay tuned for part 2, when your skin becomes a sweater!
