Day 467 @NBCTheVoice #faithofachild

If anyone finds their way to this blog via The Voice, thanks @blakeshelton for giving me an avenue to have a voice for those who do not have one for themselves. From my personal experience of going to doctors for 10 years who all say they don't know what's wrong with me, then another 6 years after with a diagnosis and all the way to the top, "There's nothing I can do for you." My heart goes out to those on a similar journey and feel so lost and voiceless. I know some people have eating disorders but I can't even begin to fathom the number of young girls and boys who don't understand why they can't hold down food and trust a doctor that makes them believe it is an eating disorder. There are so many rare diseases that doctors don't have the tools to diagnose or refuse to be bothered with. I know there are many good doctors in this world who truly want to help their patients but cannot. I want to be that voice, to connect researchers with doctors and patients to come to a common goal. I am only one voice, but isn't that how every truly great things come to pass, with one small voice and one giant heart!
