Add to basketPaperback. Extreme fatigue. Brain fog. Dizziness. Stumbling over words. Short-term memory problems. Not being able to walk straight. Heat making you feel miserable, even horrible. If you recognize these, you are not alone.There is a disease affecting countless people that is frequently misdiagnosed or missed entirely due to unreliable testing and incomplete evaluation. Many suffer for years with real, physical symptoms while being told nothing is wrong, or worse, that it is all in their head.In I Was Sick. It WASN'T in My Head, Susan Slabe shares her personal journey through years of unexplained illness, medical dismissal, and growing isolation. As symptoms worsened and answers failed to come, she was left to navigate a system that often treats normal test results as proof that nothing is wrong, even when everything clearly is.This book provides a detailed look at the progression of symptoms, the emotional and physical toll of being misdiagnosed, and the frustration of searching for answers in a system that does not always look deep enough. Readers will find an extensive symptom list that reflects the complexity of this condition and may recognize patterns in their own experience.After sixteen years of studying her symptoms, researching, and refusing to accept incomplete explanations, Susan ultimately identified the root cause of her illness. Along the way, she began recognizing similar patterns in others, helping people ask the right questions and seek further evaluation when their symptoms were being overlooked. She also started a local support group in her county, offering others a place to be heard and understood. When she found the right doctor who would listen, her findings were finally confirmed.This is not just one person's story. It is a reflection of a much larger problem affecting countless individuals who remain undiagnosed or misunderstood. For those who feel unheard, dismissed, or know deep down that something is wrong, this book offers validation, insight, and the possibility of finally being understood. After sixteen years of illness and medical dismissal, Susan Slabe found answers and began helping others still searching to be heard. This item is printed on demand.
