In early January 2022, I was seen at the Pelvic Floor Center in Minneapolis for testing for Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. I saw Dr Anne E. Sirany. It was an awful experience. The nurse was extremely cruel, rude,and insensitive. The testing was extremely invasive, painful, and humiliating. The first testing involved having an instrument inserted into my vaginal canal to test the strength of my vaginal muscles. The next test involved having an instrument inserted into my rectum. It was extremely painful, therefore it didn’t go quickly or smoothly. As the nurse was trying to insert the instrument into my rectum, with every forceful push of the instrument further inside my rectum, I would twitch my leg due to the pain it was causing. The Nurse kept scolding me for twitching my leg, because the machine that was going to be used to record my muscle strength, was close by my foot, as well as the assisting nurse. She said, STOP TWITCHING YOUR LEG! THAT’S AN EXPENSIVE MEDICAL EQUIPMENT! I kept apologizing, but it’s not as though it was something conscious I was doing. So, I couldn’t stop myself from doing it. I asked her to Please Stop. She stopped and started blasting me for not being able to have the test done that had been Ordered! I broke out into tears, bawling. I said, I’m not saying I’m not going to have the test completed. I’m just saying I need a minute. Which, she should know if I’m tense, it’s only going to make it more difficult to insert something into my rectum. I was able to complete the test.
The third test was an X-Ray Defacography. I got onto the X-Ray table and the X-Ray Technician told me she was going to shove a handful of barium up inside my vaginal canal and a handful up inside my rectum. Then the table moved up and over towards a commode and I was to sit on the commode and expell the barium as if I were having a bowel movement while the X-Ray machine took images. Dr Sirany was called in to observe the X-Rays being taken. After I expelled the barium, I stood up off the commode. Dr Sirany walked up towards me and stood behind me, saying nothing. She inserted her finger into my vaginal canal from behind me. Then removed it, and told me I could go and get dressed while she reviewed the results of the testing. When she’s ready she’ll come and get me.
I got dressed. The entire appointment was so humiliating, demeaning, demoralizing, painful, uncomfortable, stressful and had me filled with anxiety! Dr Sirany told me the cause of my sudden onset constipation was Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. Which is the inability to relax the Pelvic Floor Muscles when having a bowel movement. If the Pelvic Floor Muscles aren’t relaxed, the, I call it Poop Flap Door, doesn’t open up and allow the stool up inside your colon to come down into the final chamber of the rectum, where it’s expelled out the rectal canal. I knew that could not be the “Cause” of my constipation. It occurred as a “Result” of my constipation. I had been taking pictures with my cell phone when I would be attempting to have a bowel movement, and I was seeing a bulging of tissue coming out of my vaginal canal. From pictures I’d viewed online, it seemed to match up with having a prolapsed bladder/rectum into my vaginal canal. A bladder prolapse, Cytocele, is when the muscles and tissues holding the bladder into place either weaken or tear, causing it to drop, and bulge into the vaginal canal. A prolapsed rectum, Rectocele, is when the muscles and tissue that separate the rectal canal and vaginal canal either become weak or tear, causing the rectum to bulge into the vaginal canal. I showed Dr Sirany one of the pictures where it could clearly be seen there was something bulging into my vaginal canal. I asked her what would be causing this to occur? Dr Sirany said, “We don’t deal with that here!” I was surprised, because I’m at the PELVIC FLOOR CENTER! I was so ready to get the hell out of there, so I just asked, who does? She said, “A Gynecologist!” Her treatment recommendation was Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy. Which she referred me to Twin City Orthopedic to have done.
I later found out, The Pelvic Floor Center ABSOLUTELY DOES DIAGNOSE AND TREAT PROLAPSE OF THE BLADDER AND RECTUM! I also found out they offer Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy that’s specialized and might have had some usefulness to it. As opposed to Twin City Orthopedic. Which was completely ridiculous, humiliating, and useless. Besides the fact I knew Pelvic Floor Dysfunction couldn’t be the cause! My vaginal muscle strength was very good. I’ve never had any children or even been pregnant. I’ve never had any type of trauma or injury to my Pelvic Floor. A person would not just wake up one day, and something they’ve been doing without any problems EVER for NEARLY 40 YEARS, decide to switch up what they’re doing, and not relax their Pelvic Floor Muscles when they’re attempting to have a bowel movement! The reason I developed Pelvic Floor Dysfunction is because my bowels went from never being constipated, to never being able to have a bowel movement. The straining and trying to make myself go, obviously caused me to begin switching things up, in an attempt to get myself to go. So, Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy isn’t going to do anything to help my constipation unless the main reason for what caused the constipation is figured out!
In mid January 2022, I noticed the wound from the Biopsy by Dr Knapp done 12/1/2021, had an ominous looking black scab on it. I showed my mom, and she said it looked fine. I took a picture of it. One week later, the scab increased in size, and looked more ominous. I made an appointment at M Health Fairview Midway Clinic, and saw Dr Mary M. Winnett. She would not even have me sit on the exam table to examine the wound. The Biopsy wound is located on the back right side of my right lower leg, about 4″ above my ankle. I stood up and turned to the side, lifting my foot upward, so Dr Winnett could see the wound. It’s a position I can only hold for a few seconds. She was probably 5-7ft away from the wound. She said, “It’s fine.” I said, “The ominous looking black scab has increased in size in the past week! It’s been over 6 weeks since the Biopsy was done, and it’s not healed, and getting Larger in size! Dr Winnett said, “The scab is black because it’s been there for a while. That’s normal. And you probably bumped it, and that’s why it is larger.” I said, “I didn’t bump it!” She said, “Maybe you bumped it and didn’t know you bumped it.” I asked Dr Winnett if she’d refer me to Gynecologist, because Dr Sirany told me they don’t deal with “That” here, when I showed her what appears to be a prolapse of my bladder/rectum into my vaginal canal? And I showed her the picture. She laughed saying, “That’s just vaginal tissue.”
After the appointment, I thought to myself, if the scab is old, and that’s why it’s black, and it’s increased in size because I must’ve bumped it, causing it to break open, and a new scab formed from me bumping it, it would make no sense that the small black scab on the wound a week prior, would more than double in size, and be completely black. So, her explanation makes absolutely no sense! And as for her laughing at me about the bulging vaginal tissue, she’s correct that it is just vaginal tissue. But, what is causing my vaginal tissue to bulge into my vaginal canal and be seen?
I was completely freaking out about the wound not healing on my leg and increasing in size. Everything I would read online said, a typical wound should be almost healed at six weeks and completely healed at two months. I was past the six weeks and it had increased in size! My mom told me to just make an appointment with Dr Knapp and she’ll pay cash for the appointment. I reached out on HealthPartners MyChart to Dr Knapp. I sent pictures, and expressed my extreme concern. Her nurse messaged back saying that Dr Knapp wanted me to come in because it’s taking longer to heal then it should. I was told they’d be able to fit me in for an appointment, and to send them an updated copy of my insurance card. I explained it was likely not going to be accepted, but if that’s the case, my mom has agreed to pay cash for the appointment. And I sent a picture of my new insurance card. The nurse messaged back saying, my insurance wasn’t accepted at their clinic, and they don’t accept cash payments for appointments. They advised I establish care with a new Dermatologist that’s in my network, and that I do so sooner, because the wound should have been almost healed or healed by now.
I was LIVID! I decided to check again online and see if the new insurance would be accepted at the Dermatology Clinic where I was going to get my Botox injections, Zel Skin and Laser, in Plymouth. I’d always had a very positive experience at their clinic. I really like Rachel Stevens, who does my Botox. I found they were now accepting my insurance, and was a le to get an appointment within a couple days.
End of January 2022, I saw Dr Biglow at Zel Skin and Laser in Plymouth. At first I couldn’t tell if she was being condescending or overly sympathetic. She offered to prescribe me an antibiotic, but told me the wound wasn’t infected. Which I would agree, it didn’t appear to be infected. But, it didn’t look right either. So, something is wrong. She asked me, “Are you sure you don’t want me to prescribe you an antibiotic? It’s not infected. But, if it’ll make you feel better, I will.?” I said, “No. I don’t want to be prescribed an antibiotic if I don’t need one.” She said, “What about an antibiotic ointment like Mupircon? You just put the ointment on over the wound? I could prescribe you that if it would make you feel better?” I said, “I actually already have that. It was prescribed by Dr Knapp when I had the stitches removed and it was showing signs of not healing.”
I had explained to Dr Biglow, I needed to establish care with a new Dermatologist. I didn’t feel Dr Sale was at all invested in trying to help me. I tried to establish care with Dr Knapp, but due my insurance no longer being accepted at HealthPartners, I now have to establish care with another new Dermatologist. Her attitude quickly changed from condescending to irritated and angry when I told her I had seen a Primary Care Doctor a week earlier regarding the wound not healing. She said, No, she would not take me on as new patient, there’s been too many hands in this! I was like, What? I’ve seen three different Doctors, one of which wasn’t a Dermatologist. The only reason I have to obtain a new Doctor is because I can’t go back to the Doctor that did the Biopsy. They won’t all me to see her even if I agree to pay cash. Dr Biglow said, “That doesn’t make any sense!” I said, “I agree, but I can’t force them to let me get an appointment with Dr Knapp.” Dr Biglow again said, No, she would not be taking over my care! There’s too many Doctor’s that have have there hands on this! Her recommendation is for me to go back to Dermatology Consultants, where I had the first Biopsy! I said, “Dr Sale didn’t even wait for the lidocaine to take effect before driving the hole punch into my leg!” For whatever reason, that further angered her. She said, “GO BACK TO DERMATOLOGY CONSULTANTS! THAT’S MY RECOMMENDATION! I WILL NOT BE TAKING ON YOUR LEUKOCYTOCLASTIC VASCULITIS CASE! And she turned around and opened the door and exited the room, slamming the door behind her! I burst into tears.
The first Biopsy results mentioned Panniculitis with Vascular Involvement of the small blood vessels, and a dual differential diagnosis of Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis. When she said that, I couldn’t believe how quickly that rolled out of mouth! It’s a long diagnosis. I can laugh about it now.
I was talking to Mariana about how concerned I was that my leg wasn’t healing, and telling her how much of a nightmare it was trying to get established with a new Dermatologist. She suggested I go to the Dermatologist she’d been going to in Edina, Dr Arthur Ide. He had his own Dermatology Clinic. I looked him up online and my insurance was covered at his clinic. I called and I was able to get in for an appointment within a couple days. I brought the Biopsy Results and explained my concerns with the wound not healing. He briefly looked at it and told me, Leg wound heal very slowly. This is not uncommon for it to not be healed. It looks just fine. After looking over the Biopsy results, he said, he believed I had Wells Syndrome, also known as Eosinophilic Cellulitis. But, unlike Cellulitis, it’s not infectious. He said, he thinks he has a pamphlet in his office, he’s going to go and find it for me. I said, I can just Google it. He said, “No! You can’t trust anything you read on the internet. The information on the internet is not accurate!” He went to find the pamphlet, and was gone at least 5 minutes or longer. I Googled it. Wells Syndrome had less than 75 Confirmed Cases EVER, WORLDWIDE! It’s EXTRAORDINARILY RARE and Vague, and there’s little to no information about it, what causes it, because it’s so INCREDIBLY RARE! But, I had been saying I wanted a Diagnosis! So, I guess they decided they’d have someone give me a Ridiculous Diagnosis! Which Dr Ide said he was pretty sure that’s what it is, and he’s going to write that in my chart. When he returned to the room, he did not have pamphlet, because he said he couldn’t find it. I had wanted to discuss the changes I’d noticed in my toenails, and this rash of red bumps, and what looked like possibly pimples all along my hairline on my head. But, since he’d spent most the appointment searching for a pamphlet he didn’t find, the appointment was over. He said, my toenails looked fine from where he was standing, at least 10 feet away from me. And the bumps on my head looked like acne.
After that appointment, I was feeling pretty convinced the Individuals I was Investigating, the Police and Courts, were definitely doing something to cause my medical care to be compromised. The nightmare hellish treatment I received at the Pelvic Floor Center. And being told my only problem was Pelvic Dysfunction. Which I knew couldn’t be the cause. Dr Winnett at M Health Fairview, refusing to even examine my wound. HealthPartners telling me they won’t Accept Cash Payments! And since my Insurance isn’t accepted, they refuse to allow me to see Dr Knapp. Dr Biglow at Zel Skin and Laser, saying there’s been too many hands on this! And She WILL NOT BE TAKING ON MY LEUKOCYTOCLASTIC VASCULITIS CASE! Storming out of the exam room, and slamming the door behind her! And Dr Ide Diagnosing me with an EXTRAORDINARILY RARE DISEASE that had less than 75 Confirmed Cases EVER, WORLDWIDE! All of which occurred in the month of January 2022! I thought, there’s no way I could coincidentally end up getting that many REALLY BAD DOCTOR’S! I told my mom I believed the Individuals I was Investigating were somehow managing to compromise my medical care. My mom said, that’s impossible! My mom would take no interest in what I had been finding in my Investigating. I would talk to my dad about it. Sometimes he’d be receptive and other times he’d become angry with me if I wouldn’t agree with doing something the way he felt it should be done. Like, with the first person that stole my car from me. My dad felt I needed to go to Police and tell them I was kidnapped by the man, and then he stole my car. But, that wasn’t true. I’ll admit I didn’t have any care to hang around with the man. His friend who I was with, ditched him with me, saying he’d be right back, and never returned. But, I wasn’t held against my will, or told I wasn’t allowed to leave. I refuse to make false accusations against someone for any reason! Kidnapping is a serious Crime, and it wasn’t true. But, my dad would make up things in his mind that he felt were true, and if I wouldn’t agree with him, he’d become Furious and lash out with mean, hateful comments. I tried explaining to him, my concerns about my medical care being compromised, but he refused to believe me as well.
That’s what Mariana and I had in common with each other. We were both outsiders that were hanging out with with large group of Criminal Offenders that were drug addicts. We both struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, but neither of us were Criminals. We didn’t fit in with the group, but because we used drugs, and had money, a vehicle, and we were extremely naive to their world, we were attractive to hang around with. Because, most all the people in the group have NO GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT. MOST OF THEM NEVER HAVE HAD GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT! They get by in life by Conning, Manipulating, Stealing, Ripping People Off, LITERALLY by any means possible other than doing something productive to earn what they want and need. It’s literally the way they were raised. So, they’re are Extremely Good at getting by without doing anything to earn what they have. Because if they weren’t, they wouldn’t be able to survive.
Both Mariana and I grew up with Parent’s that are still married, that worked and made good money, that are not addicted to drugs or use drugs, that provided for us growing up, and that attended Church every week. We both graduated from high school. We never had to be concerned growing up about not being provided the necessary things needed in life. So, we weren’t used to being around people that manipulated every situation to get what they needed. As I said, our being completely naive as to the way things worked in this “Alternate World” made us attractive to these people. Then, besides that, Mariana’s Adopted Parent’s decided they’d be better off if she were dead, and must’ve put word out on the streets or had someone put word out on the streets, that if someone succeeds in killing Mariana, they can get paid a lot of money. Which a lot of Criminal Offenders would try cashing in on that deal. Which led to NUMEROUS FAILED ATTEMPTS! I think mostly because despite the fact most the Criminal Offenders are pretty grimy, and literally have not a single care in the world for anyone other than themselves, when it comes to taking a person’s life, it takes something extra inside a person to be able to do it. Daniel Marcel Sheppard, the first man to steal my car, he possesses that something extra. He can pull out a gun and shoot to kill for a nothing reason, and have no feeling about it one way or another. He’s in Prison for Murder. But, this Broken System that is being run by a Large Group of Despicable Individuals within the Government, have found allowing Criminals to Remain Free is very Profitable for them, so he’ll be out in July 2028.
I’ll get back to my Medical Care in Part 3
