“I had been ill for a long time, but it was escalating, so I made a doctor’s appointment, even though I had been there before with no results for these symptoms. I had gone on a ski trip the week before and spent a good portion of the time nauseous to the point of being unable to zip my jacket up against my throat or I’d puke. Our first morning back, as we were getting ready to get the dogs, the kennel called to say that one of them was ill. Long story short, we had to put our old boy down that week. I was about to cancel the doctor’s appointment because I was so destroyed but then changed my mind solely because it was a nice walk into town and might clear my head. It turns out, that appointment with that particular GP was what led to my celiac diagnosis.”

“I’d been ill for nearly 20 years and was slowly wasting away. The GP was covering for someone and wouldn’t have been there, had I changed the date of the appointment. No other GP had cared to look deeper. I consider my decision fateful because I wasn’t going to go.”
