As for your pains, keep some faith they will vanish after some time goes by, as you are a young and otherwise healthy person. Please remember you are an unique individual, like every person, perhaps even more so. You look like a lovely person with great capabilities and interests, to me that ticks all the boxes of a potentially great partner, so you will definitely find that special one, just have some more patience. Wish I could do something for you besides commenting on a blog.

Contacted a number of supposed professionals, and even had some UK folk contact doctors on my behalf.<br /><br />Every time the result was the same: communication would be rudely cut off, appointments ignored and help denied on account of me not being a UK person within the NHS.<br /><br />I have quite literally tried to find help around the globe over the past 13 years, but to no avail. People keep telling me that there has to be help out there, but I'm pretty sure that there's none.Maya Poschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01747916275364501887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851748514318788614.post-21994017007273872232018-03-09T00:45:33.120+01:002018-03-09T00:45:33.120+01:00Dear Maya,

There are quite a few, at least in England. And the British are usually more open-minded and respectful than Germans.<br />Maya, please stay.<br />If I could help... <br />You are young and beautiful and clever. Not many ingredients missing to have a long, beautiful and fulfilling life!<br />Take care. Don't leave us. I pray that you find the right doctor as soon as possible.<br />John.JohnThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12735693413942605665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851748514318788614.post-17130133764355208922018-03-05T15:31:24.784+01:002018-03-05T15:31:24.784+01:00I read this post a few hours ago. I've been th...I read this post a few hours ago. I've been thinking about what to say to you ever since.<br /><br />So many of your writings speak to pain and isolation. No one knows exactly what anyone else is going through, but we are all obliged to listen and to help if we can. <br /><br />You're tired. You hurt. You are facing repeats of some of the worst things you have faced before. Your intelligence, honesty and integrity don't seem to matter.<br /><br />But they do.<br /><br />You made decisions for yourself many years ago that allow you to look in the mirror today and say, "I was right." You still are. You can make people thousands of miles away care about you through your gift of humor and your natural ability to teach.<br /><br />So many people feel detached from the world or society around them for so many reasons. So many people are aware of how different they are from others and feel the pain of not being "part of it all." The older I get, the more I wonder just how much if "normal" society truly is normal. It seems more like a lowest common denominator, an agreement that "This is how things should be." I reject that, and so do you.<br /><br />I think Maya Posch is an amazing person. I'm glad to have discovered her. There are very few true polymaths in the world. You're tired of being tested, but you always pass the tests. That's your most special gift.<br /><br />We have doctors in the U.S. who specialize in pain management. They don't care about what hurts so much as to making it stop hurting. I go to one sometimes. I hope you can find someone like that and get some relief. If you suspect you have a fistula of some type, have someone take a look -- the gastrointestinal system seems pretty gender-neutral.<br /><br />Just get help so you can live instead of just surviving. I know that's what you've been doing for years, but your doctors always seem to be looking for things they recognize instead of the person as a whole. I can't think I'm the only person in the world who is willing to meet you on your own terms. <br /><br />Maybe you are a unicorn -- lovely,magical and rare. Then again, maybe you are a proud horse in a pointy party hat. Either way, please celebrate yourself the way others do. <br /><br />Stay.Tom Farrierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05679791081258095974noreply@blogger.com
