Molly Lee's interview
How did all start?
Ulcers on my toes
Do you already have a diagnosis? How long did it take you to get it?
Yes, I was diagnosed in my mid 20’s
For what medical specialties have you been treated? What has been the most useful specialty for your?
I’ve seen them all and very few have been helpful
What has been the most useful thing for you so far?
Doing my own research, most drs don’t even know about Buerger’s
What have been your biggest difficulties?
Drs listening to me. The minute they hear I smoke they shut down and don’t want to hear another word until I’ve been smoke free for at least 1-3 months.
How has your social and family environment reacted? Have your social or family relationships changed?
As my symptoms get worse it’s been very difficult to maintain friendships and go to family functions.
What do you think about the future?
I think it’s only going to get worse and I’m afraid
So far, which years have been the best years in your life? What have you done during them?
Early 20’s we’re fine
