I’m a 29f and I’ve been in and out of urgent care, the ER, seen specialists over the course of 10+ years and nobody has been able to tell me anything outside of IBS. I assumed I had parasites, even thought I saw them sometimes, but every test I took came out negative, every treatment was ineffective.

Finally, last week, my results came back. I tested positive for C-diff and chronic Epstein-Barr Virus. These are both pretty serious conditions and I’ve had them for over a decade now but the doctor who found the issues is confident he’ll be able to resolve them without drugs.

Please send healing vibes, prayer, and any tips on overcoming these diagnoses. Also, if you’re going to trust a doctor to help you, make sure they trust YOU enough to listen to your experiences and take the extra steps necessary to get to the root of the problem! It took me ten years to find the right one and get answers. Knowing what the problem is is half the battle.
