It’s coming!

I’ve kept myself, and my efforts, under wraps…until now. I’ve been spending all of my time over the last two years creating a tool to help you and those you love navigate their health, called the Health Navigator Guide. I know the Guide will help because I see the need, I see the solution, and I’ve seen the Guide work.

I’ve been dealing with my own health issues. I had a primary care doctor, but she left and was replaced by another that I really liked just as well. She left, and I was without a home base. They left no one to take over my care, and I was on my own.

I had a few reasons to want to see the doctor, but I didn’t know where to go, so I shopped around. I was told by two healthcare provider groups that they are not taking new patients. I was transferred to another provider group that reluctantly took me in, and I got whatever provider happened to be available. Thankfully I got a good one. This took me about three months, and in the meanwhile, I had some issues to address., although I’m glad I wasn’t sick with something serious. I might still be waiting…or not.

I also had some weird health issues that weren’t serious, just seriously annoying. I tried several dermatologists who all told me different things that didn’t agree with the others. I finally found a doctor who told me this, “When you have a confusing case like yours, you won’t get straight answers.” Great. That’s helpful.

So I went down my own path of researching, then searching for supplements and alternative treatments. I began a safe supplement routine and added a few over-the-counter medications to apply and viola. I’m better, even though I’m not fully recovered, but I’m getting there.

All the while I went through this process I was thinking to myself “Are you kidding me? How much harder could this be?” I couldn’t imagine having a serious illness and going through this fiasco. How can I help people do this better?!

Thankfully, or not, I’m no stranger to this scenario. My kids have given me the best training and experience a Health Navigator could ever have. I’m no stranger to our crazy, complicated, frustrating healthcare system, with crazy, complicated, frustrating health conditions. We all go through them; some more than others.

I’m here to help you. I created a way for us to better understand what to do when we’re in situations like this. We can approach and navigate our health and healthcare better, even if that means sometimes we simply accept it for what it is.

Don’t let situations like mine drag you down to your knees crying in a puddle of tears. I’ve done that and it doesn’t help. Instead, let the Health Navigator Guide bring you up and elevate you beyond the madness.

If I can do it, you can, too. Let’s do it together.
