What Documentary Has Changed Your Life?
I found UNDER OUR SKIN to be extremely enlightening about Lyme disease. I like science documentaries a lot and I don't usually think I have a disease mentioned in one, but in this case, the symptoms are so clearly described that they had a real resonance with me. I felt some of the things mentioned in the movie, and my doctors had been unable to tell me what's wrong. So I just thought I had to suffer until I got better. But I didn't. Anyway, because of the movie, I insisted that my doctor take other tests and try other things. Bottom line: I have it. Not too bad, but still I have to watch it.
What did you do differently as a result of seeing it?
So it is because of the movie that I found out. Now I'm very careful about my health. I get more rest and eat healthier and lead a much cleaner life. I know that's not the cure, but it is helping me to feel better. I have to thank the person who made this documentary for putting me on the right track.
Lessons Learned
- Don't give up or give in. when you think your doctor isn't doing everything possible for you, continue to question him until you get to the real cause of your symptoms.
