Welcome back. Before we start this episode, wanted to give a few announcements. I'm putting out

extra content on my Patreon. If you didn't hear about it, I have peripheral hoodies and baseball

teas out on the gen Ypod.com website. I think they're pretty cool. A few people

have bought them. I want you guys to take pictures and selfies in them and send them to me.

So if you're listening, please do that. I was on another podcast called Doing It Different.

It's a fun little interview. Tyler and his wife are the hosts and they talk about

or they talk to somebody that lives their life differently or does something differently than the

norm. And they thought it would be fun talking to me. Check that out if you like. On today's episode,

I have three different stories. They were all shorter stories.

These were stories about medical illnesses that are hard to diagnose, but have extreme impacts on people's lives.

The first story is a friend of mine named John who was a police officer and

suffered a stroke. The second story is from Beth who suffers a concussion, but it's not exactly

as simple as hitting your head and getting over it in a few days. The last story comes from

Ashley, who suffered all of her life from endometriosis, undiagnosed, which later led to

serious health issues and effects for her.

All of these stories revolve around misdiagnosis

revolve around health issues that seem to be commonplace,

but people might not know so much about them. I was very much surprised by all three of the

stories. I learned something from each one. And after collecting all three, I decided this was the

perfect episode to put them together. So first up is John.

Yeah, you can't make this shit up.

Yeah.
