I just had an appointment with an internist, someone supposedly "more experienced" than the doctors I've been seeing at my local clinic.
I just brought up the possibility that I could have mitochondrial toxicity from a study drug I had been receiving. She got nasty, belligerent and said "There...
I was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago. Having done some research, I realize I've probably had this for several years. Now in my mid fifties, I've finally gotten to where I need some support with this. Fortunately, my doctor is on board.
