Dr. McMillan, you mentioned, "Truthfully, I initially ignored it."
Similarly, all the doctors I consulted did the same.
I relocated from the US to Germany in March 1999 and contracted Covid in January 2020. By March, I was unable to walk and consulted my first primary care physician (PCP), who conducted standard blood tests and assured me, "Everything is fine." By May 2020, my condition worsened; I could not walk and experienced severe abdominal pain, leading to hospital admission. However, my leg pain was overlooked, and the doctors recommended colon surgery. Realizing the misdirection, I left the hospital.
In October 2020, a university clinic neurologist focusing on muscle weakness in my lower body and skeletal system performed an EMG, which indicated high pain sensitivity but ruled out Myasthenia Gravis. At this point, walking more than five steps or holding a steering wheel while driving more than 30 km became an impossibility for me.
In January 2021, I consulted a new PCP and insisted on a D-Dimer test, which none of the previous doctors had considered. The results showed a level of 3800. Despite my efforts, I had to persuade her to perform a sonogram. In February 2021, it revealed a significant clot, though attention was only given to my legs. My complaints of groin pain were disregarded, and I was treated with Heparin injections. Despite this, my leg pain and muscle weakness persisted.
My PCP strongly advised vaccination due to my comorbidities. After the first dose, my body reacted severely, shutting down and developing skin lichens and brain inflammation. When I questioned if the vaccine could be the cause, I was told it was not and was advised to proceed with the second dose, which exacerbated my symptoms. I became incapable of holding a cup of coffee or lifting my legs. Three additional neurologists overlooked the advancing muscle weakness and suggested exercise therapy.
In August 2021, a doctor admitted me to a hospital, but I never received a call or a bed from the hospital. In December 2021, a rheumatologist diagnosed me with Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) Types II and V and Petechiae covering my entire body. After reporting additional symptoms like shortness of breath and potential brain inflammation, a blood test six months later identified Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS) and Lupus. No treatment was recommended, and a high WBC count was ignored. Left with no other options, and suspecting high cytokine activity, I began self-medicating with Cetirizine without a doctor's guidance.
I suspect a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in the groin, but to this day, no doctor has approved my request for an Angiography.
While it is known that COVID-19 can exacerbate pre-existing immunodeficiencies, I question whether components commonly found in vaccines, such as PEG, could be the primary cause of thrombosis.
I would say they are conservative rather than skeptical. Medical training rewards linear thinking on predetermined lines of thought in highly specialised areas. It is astonishing to me that anyone with a trait Openness personality trait could ever get through medical training
I'm sorry to hear of your health problems. I have observed that doctors in recent years are not medical detectives anymore. They simply go through a list of protocols which keeps their work streamlined for speedy processing of the patients. They are not encouraged to think outside of the box. Instead they have become box tickers, like the management above them. Most do not have the authority to access investigative procedures or any drugs not on the hospital's list.
I have 40+ years as an NHS nurse and midwife. Most hospital staff are burnt out, sadly, despite starting out with compassion and dedication.
I hope you find relief and a good doctor willing to be open minded.
Perhaps search for an Integrative Medical Doctor specialising in metabolic health.
I appreciate your comments, as they remind me of those shared by many of my friends in the medical field.
It's truly unfortunate when patients experience pain, yet doctors must adhere to established protocols. I perceive a dilemma in this: a healed patient represents a lost customer.
In the US, I encountered two doctors who allowed patients to articulate their pain, leading to diagnoses and subsequent treatment.
Conversely, in Germany, a patient is given 30 seconds to describe their pain, after which the doctor discusses the extent of insurance coverage. Within five minutes, patients receive a prescription, and the doctor's parting words are, "Let me know if the medication works."
Hi Sieglinde. You „liked“ my comments - and now I am reading your story. So, you are German, just as me (as you might know reading my name). Hopefully you have the chance to recover. I was persecuted by our health agency - because I am a physician and chose not to take these gentherapeutic shots. You know: we were obliged to take the shot. A heavy time. So, since the last 2,5-3 years I am trying to convince people in my environment of what was and is going on in this never ending pandemic. Few people did wake up. The topic of Philip‘s new video blew off my mind. I didn‘t expect this to occur in the living. But: we must be cautious. This has to be prooven scientifically. Beyond, what I am expecting are Geert‘s hypotheses to become true. It‘s so sad. Really appreciate your story!
Hi Dietmar: You've been targeted by our health agency, which doesn't surprise me. I'm also deeply disappointed by the apparent disregard for harmful mRNA evidence within health departments globally. The only way to hold authorities accountable is through peer-reviewed, proven evidence. For this reason, I persist in urging doctors and pharmacists to investigate unexpected and lesser-known illnesses such as Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), Trousseau's Syndrome, and Antiphospholipid Syndrome (APS).
Please continue educating and caring for people. Thank you.

Doctors are very sceptical generally.
Takes a lot for them to step outside the box.
I know.
That, among many other reasons, is why many patients continue to suffer.
