First-person patient account in a YouTube video where the speaker (patient) describes severe, unexplained health problems—hair loss, joint pain, stomach and skin issues—and extensive but inconclusive medical workups (endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, colonoscopy, endoscopy). The speaker reports high inflammation, medication trials, and family support (mother moved in) and expresses desperation to find answers.

My hair was falling out. I had joint pain, stomach issues, skin issues. Super inflamed. My mom actually pretty much moved in with me. I was living downtown Austin, and I was just really sick, and I was going to endocrinologist, gastroenterologist, all the specialties, and no one really had answers. You know, I was put on different medications. I did invasive procedures, colonoscopy, endoscopy, and really had no answers. And so that's when I was desperate, and I was like, all right, there's gotta be more.
