Did you know that you can be diagnosed without a scan or other tests revealing anything to be wrong?
Did you know that there's science available to determine the diagnosis without symptoms that can be tested?
I know that's a huge statement, but there are times where doctors diagnose patients with "diagnosis of exclusion." Take IBS, or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Symptoms may present as one diagnosis, but after rigorous testing, the only diagnosis left would be IBS. Happens all the time. Did you know there are diagnosis that one of 10,000 or 50,000 people would have?
Melissa Farmer joins the show to talk about this and other chronic illnesses and how they present themselves in different patients. She is the Co-Founder of Aivo Health where their mission is to eradicate chronic pain by empowering people with science. In this episode, you will hear valuable information and insight into the science behind the diagnosis and what people can do to still live very productive lives while living with chronic pain or illness, not suffering from it.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
