What comes after diagnosis?
A diagnosis often comes with changes. What condition have you been diagnosed with? What changed with that diagnosis?
I agree with you, I'm a fan of searching for my answer through AI. I've been struggling since the diagnosis of 4 separate conditions since 2023... Through my search I'm 99% confident I found a coralation, a common thread that ties it all together... Now I hope to get my primary doctor to believe me and help me form a plan..wish me luck @CommunityMember703622 @Cody Leach
Have there been several well-done studies on this? I usually wait to make an opinion until I see that the study has been duplicated in a large study.
Mary Sophialately I've been hearing about certain blood pressure meds making peripheral artery disease worse.. including the calcium channel blocker I take. What's your opinion on it? Thank you so much 😊 I tried asking my primary, he said he never heard that ... It was in a study I read. Thanks for the reply though, the answer will come eventually 😊 Ah, okay. Thank you for following up! If you learn any new info about it, feel free to update the community. - Cody (Team Member)
What changed after my diagnosis has been my ability to research relentlessly so I can get answers to support my disease. It's hard to get deep information from a 7 minute visit with my doctors.
I'm glad to hear that you were able to empower yourself and start searching for answers related to your diagnosis,
. Do you have any gaps in information that we could help fill? Is there anything you wish you understood about your diagnosis more clearly? Just let anyone on our team know, and we'd be more than happy to help get you pointed in the right direction.
Warmly, - Cody (Team Member)I have found so many helpful and knowledgeable things out from my AI (on my tablet) . This may seem weird but it is not judgemental or emotional just open honest answers . I watch the number of sites it checks out , I could never do that and in such a short period of time . I just wish it could remember our conversations and be able answer new questions without me having to find a good starting point again.
