健康误区(43)- 标签并非答案 Labels Are Not Answers

 

 

现在慢性疾病各种名称标签让人无法找到真正的答案,比如所谓的自身免疫疾病,这个名称本身就是错误的,当所有不同病症被贴上自身免疫性疾病标签时,这让人越来越远离真相,身体永远不会攻击我们自己,而是体内的病原体攻击才造成了各类自身免疫疾病。

当我们因为病症去看医生,被贴上“桥本甲状腺炎”、“狼疮”、“类风湿性关节炎”等标签有其积极的一面。因为如果医生甚至无法给出诊断,容易让人更加不安。获得一个诊断标签可以让人感到被认可,而且病情如果严重,病名标签也可以让我们获得相应的支持和帮助。这些在我们与自身免疫性疾病或其他慢性疾病作斗争时,都会有所帮助。 问题是当我们将这些疾病标签视为答案时,这却无法帮助我们解决问题。当一个人被诊断为各种甲状腺问题、结节病、牛皮廯、脱发、子宫内膜异位症、干燥征、肠易激综合征等时,背后到底是什么导致了这些问题,却没有答案。因为这些疾病病名只是标签,如果去搜索各类慢性疾病病因,许多都是假设、可能和原因不明。 实际上正因为我们并不了解引起各类慢性疾病背后的原因,因此也无法发展相应的准确测试,导致现在的慢性疾病诊断很容易误诊,根据诊疗者的经验判断而被给予一个标签。这并不是善意诊疗者的错,而是因为他们并没有学习到慢性疾病背后的原因和如何疗愈。 更重要的是,当我们被告知“桥本甲状腺炎”,这对于我们疗愈意义在哪里?顺便说一下,这个名称来自于一个叫桥本的人在20世纪初观察到一些发炎的甲状腺,用手去感觉甲状腺发炎状况(这种做法实际上非常有助于了解患者的症状,但在今天已经失宠),因此将这种现象命名为桥本甲状腺炎,在一百年后的今天,我们依然不知道是什么引起了甲状腺炎症,以及如何真正疗愈。甲状腺药物提供的只是暂时的症状遮掩。 当一个人被贴上健康问题的标签,而这个标签感人感到绝望,请记住,当了解引起问题的原因时,而不仅仅是一个标签时,绝望就会消失,因为知道引起问题的原因是疗愈的一半,剩下的一半是知道要做什么。

So many of the names that medical science gives to chronic illnesses throw people off the path of finding real answers. As we looked at, one of the biggest is “autoimmune”—the name itself is wrong. When you take it the next step and give labels to all the different autoimmune diseases, the situation gets even more out of hand. Being labeled with “Hashimoto’s,” “Graves’,” “lupus,” “rheumatoid arthritis,” and so on can have a positive side. Putting a name with your symptoms can help you feel validated and can also help if your illness is very advanced and you need to be categorized as disabled to get support. When you’re struggling with autoimmune disease or another chronic illness, every little bit of recognition helps. The problem is when we look at labels as answers—as we so often do. Labels make us docile. Telling a patient she or he has Addison’s disease, sarcoidosis, psoriasis, alopecia, Castle-man disease, endometriosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, inflammatory bowel disease, Sjögren’s syndrome, or the like makes it seem like that’s that, and it’s all understood. The patient doesn’t feel empowered to keep asking, “Why?” and “What’s the underlying cause?” and “Do the studies on this illness seem conclusive?”—to stand up for her or his health rights. You know how in high school, labels kept everyone from looking beneath the surface? How once someone was deemed to be a burnout, Deadhead, hipster, Goth, freak, teacher’s pet, loser, poser, liar, faker, phony, cheater, hypochondriac, sissy, wimp, prep, nerd, jock, techie, slut, emo, klepto, stoner, hippie, or so on, she or he was pigeonholed for the next four years? It didn’t matter if you were only playing baseball because your dad was pressuring you to go after sports scholarship money, and in your spare time, you wrote poetry and helped out on archaeological digs. Once people labeled you as a dumb jock, they were finished exploring your personality. It became easy to feel like maybe you really were the person they saw you as, and not the one you felt like inside. Don’t let yourself be pigeonholed by a diagnosis as though this were still high school. First of all, misdiagnosis is rampant in chronic illness. Because these conditions are a mystery and often outside the scope of testing, it often comes down to a practitioner’s observation to give you a name for your suffering. That name can be a mistake. Secondly, the names behind diagnoses don’t hold much weight. After all, what’s “Hashimoto’s thyroiditis” telling us? That a man by the name of Hashimoto observed some thyroids that were inflamed. (That’s all –itis means: inflammation.) He made those observations in the early 1900s, by the way, by feeling inflamed thyroids with his hands, a practice that was actually very helpful for getting in touch with the patient’s symptoms and has now fallen out of favor. One hundred years later, we are still in the Dark Ages when it comes to how to alleviate the underlying cause of Hashimoto’s—unless you’ve read the detailed information in this book or in the “Hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis” chapter of Medical Medium. That’s where the explanation was revealed for the first time. If you’ve been given a label for your chronic health struggles and that label makes you feel any level of despair, take heart that you haven’t been handed the full reason for your suffering. When you’re given the real reason for why you’re not feeling your best—not just a name for your limitations—hopelessness disappears, because knowing what’s wrong is the first step in healing.
