Doug Addiction was created with the intent to share aspects of my personal health journey and to connect with and provide information to people with similar struggles. The focus of this channel is self-advocacy. We all deserve to feel our best and to be in good health, but the path to health isn't always straight forward. Sometimes there are obstacles put in our way and no one seems to have the answers needed to overcome them. As a doctor once put it, I have "been through the wringer" as far as my health goes, and often I have had to push for answers. Whether it be getting a second opinion, requesting a referral to a specialist, or seeking alternative medical treatments, I've done it all. I hope to share what I have learned and am still learning, with those who continue to suffer with similar health concerns so maybe they can have a swifter journey to good health than I was able to have. I'm not a medical professional and am not giving medical advice; just sharing what I have learned.
