  • Ever since she was born, young Claire Mantey has had a strange birthmark and swelling on the left side of her face. It didn't seem so serious at first, but the swelling and discoloration persist. Claire gets many ear infections, pain in the left side of her face, and eventually, fibrous displasia that spreads from her left jawbone to some of her other bones.
    People suffering from illnesses un or misdiagnosed, discuss their journey to finding a diagnosis.
    Every year, millions of Americans fall prey to real-life medical mysteries ailments that go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed for years. Their lives are thrown into turmoil as medical professionals struggle to understand their baffling conditions. Mystery diagnosis tells their stories. Through interviews and dramatic recreations, each medical mystery is recounted in vivid detail. Symptoms emerge, specialists are called in, but still the daily struggle continues. And then one day, because of a patients relentless pursuit of an accurate diagnosis, or a forward thinking doctor, the problem is solved and a true diagnosis given.

    Oh hey, that’s me. I’m Claire, the girl with holes in her bones, lol. Just an update for everyone, I’m 21 years old now! The disease has since progressed since the show. I’ve had about 10 new surgeries, including removing a small portion of the left frontal lobe of my brain because the base of my skull collapsed which they then put titanium mesh in to hold the brain up. Through all of this though it caused lots of pain, surgeries, and hospital stays. I stayed in the hospital for a total of about 2 1/2 years. Had to do homeschooling online, but was still able to graduate high school with my class! I also had my left ear drum removed and filled will belly fat to stop the brain fluid that was leaking out of my left ear. I also have a shunt to prevent seizures, because there is still brain fluid leaks that they aren’t able to stop. I actually now have a daughter as well who is now 11 months old. The pregnancy with the disease went very well, although they had to do a C-section because of my disease involvement in my hips. I’m currently on pain meds and looking into another surgery because a bone under my eye kinda more toward my cheek bone has recently been becoming more thin, and causing pain possibly because a nerve of some sort being pinched from the bone disintegrating. So we are meeting with doctors in about a week to talk about a possible surgery with a plastic surgeon, ENT, oncologist, and the neurosurgeon who did my brain surgery as well. From there we will wait until they believe they have a very well thought out surgical plan. Thank you all for watching and getting the information about this disease out there! There are still tons of people that have the disease but are being treated the wrong way because of being misdiagnosed. Love to everyone watching! ❤️

      Lama 69 not sure if that would work, I really have no clue... it was a very long time until we were even able to find a surgeon that would touch me so they just did the things they felt most confident with doing. The shunt is working very well for me now. It’s just the bones in my face, jaw, and neck that are collapsing and fracturing causing lots of pain from pinched nerves. I’ll have to ask my doctor about that though! Thank you for the info! ☺️

    I wonder how long doctors will argue that people are faking it, being sensitive, being dramatic. Nobody would be that dramatic for years, and when they have serious problems. It’s sad. I’ve been through the same thing and OMG it is exhausting. Not being taken seriously or being told it is my mind “playing tricks” on me. That my pain is just because of my psyche. My psyche was bad BECAUSE I was in so much pain. It took them 10 years to figure out that my pain was so severe that I needed heavy drugs to live a life that is not a 24 hour in bed screaming kind of life. Anyone going thru the same thing; keep on pushing, even when it is exhausting and you get severely depressed. We need to be heard, and you have to keep fighting! Stay as strong as you are capable of! You are not alone💕

      I'm the same, been on and off sick for years,. Abdominal pain so bad, I've blacked out in pain, been sweating and get a temperature, my appendix got taken out in case it was that, nausea, headaches, weakness, feeling awful,.. I'll lie down and I'll be ok after a while, (minutes to hours) get up and go do something, like just go driving for a few minutes and I'll feel like I need to throw up... Then I might be grand for ages,... been to doctor's, have had people do tests, no idea what's wrong,.. I've had doctor's ask if it's just in my head (that I'm making it up or looking for attention) like no, it's disrupting my life! Why would I want this .. Newest doctors idea of what's wrong is maybe stress is causing it,.. it definitely agrevates it,.. but even now I have people who say, just take a deep breath and put it to the back of your mind and you won't be sick.. like ya! I never thought of doing that, (insert sarcasim here) it's so frustrating

      @@KaityJane1995 If your problems were related to stress alone, it should be possible for you to get them under control by reducing stress, right? Since you haven't, and even have undergone surgery to get rid of the pain, I really think doctors should take you more seriously and keep investigating until they figure out how to help you. Next time a doctor tells you it's "all in your head", ask them it that's what they'd tell a close friend or relative who has the same symptoms. I really hope you find a way to get rid of the pain episodes, and soon!

      Not to mention the FACT that ALL MOMS KNOW the different cries of their child! I could ALWAYS tell my hubby if a cry was hunger, discomfort, pain, tiredness or upset! I’m sad to know her mom was likely dismissed by Doctors for years before SOMEONE helped this sweet girl!

      Tell Meg I know it always makes me wonder the same stuff whenever I see videos or shows like this. I always wonder if they in an update or anything! It would be cool if they added a check in with the patient years later. It was make when I was 9 years old & I am 22 now :) so I believe it was 2008 when it was filmed! But I believe it finally showed the year after that in 2009 or 2010 sometime!

      A M he actually was an amazing doctor, the two doctors that were in the show with me are honestly amazing and we’re the only doctors who actually really cared and believed me and knew that I was going through a lot of pain and discomfort... he would always update us if he knew of any new treatments that way help. And if I was having complications he would have us taken to children’s right away so that he could watch me in the hospital and take care of me because he wanted to make sure no one messed anything up... because he actually had gone to tons of conferences and continues to do lots of research on the disease. But sadly moved a few years ago to a different state but was sure to inform the doctor taking his place of everything is amazing as well!!

    I find these shows so interesting and makes me feel less alone, my mum was saying something was wrong my whole childhood. She was accused of factitious disorder by proxy and CPS got involved. I was always lanky. Long arms, I hit 5'8" when I was 12ish. I was having a lot of muscle spasms and at first they suspected I may have had a neuromuscular disorder. When they found I didn't, I had no follow up. Then I started getting large heamatomas and I started dislocating joints as soon as I hit puberty, small movements would cause severe dislocations. Eventually my mum put her foot down and took me to a large children's hospital. The rheumatologist immediately realised I had blue sclera, long fingers and toes, velvet soft skin, skin elasticity and I walked out of that appointment with answers. I have a progressive connective tissue disorder and associated comorbidities. I am 22 now and live in care. It's been a hard trot, but I really appreciate my mum being my fiercest advocate.

      "oh there is a mark on the jaw. and when stuff happens, that area swells and gets colored. surely nothing to do with the real issue"
      ehh, if there is a health problem and something that is obviously not ordinary, check that.
      Same with the second case. "felt like rock in the shoe", but nothing inside the shoe? perhaps check the foot then, the "rock" might be there. And then work yourself up along the pathway towards the brain. If it isn't in the foot, and isn't in the knee, and not along the bones in the leg, the next stop is the pelvis area.

  • @ThisCrazyRALife
    @ThisCrazyRALife 4 года назад +65

    It happens because doctors are medically trained by the term " when you hear hoofbeats think horses not zebras." This is for them to diagnose simply for years and never take the time to do a more invasive search for the issues and symptoms at hand. I understand how that can work for some patients but as someone that now lives with multiple chronic illnesses, I was brushed off the same way over 10 years ago and told that they would never figure out what was wrong with me. Finally someone saw that I was in fact a zebra and simple blood tests held all of my answers....... the way medicine is practiced needs to change.

      Andreea Roman The family knew she was in pain, but she got used to it and did not talk much about it. About the tumor, I think she wanted to wait until after the surgery to tell her children, since she would not know if it was cancer or benign until then. Why make the children worry about cancer for serveral weeks if, at the end of the day, it is not cancer after all.

With this sort of attitude and dismissal of concerns as well as total misdiagnosis due to lack of care being fairly commonplace can we really be surprised people are anti vax and anti science? I mean with this response to a tumor that one cant tell is benign or not w/o biopsy can you really blame people for falling for miracle cures for cancer and such?

She actually had her major in psychology so honestly that’s really what helped her to be able to explain things in a way that I wouldn’t panic or freak out and always kept me motivated to fight and stay strong and positive through it all. My mom did an amazing job ❤️❤️ & still does to this day!!

    mistake number one, they took their baby to a family physician instead of a pediatrician.
    Edit: if you know that something is wrong with you or your child, don't stop searching till you get answers. I had mono at 4. after it cleared up, I got a brain infection that caused my brain to swell and cut off blood supply to my optic nerve causing optical neuritis in my left eye, causing me to be permanently blind in my left eye. i can see out of it, but it is darker and fuzzy. my mom took me all over but doctors always said my symptoms were from the mono. i would fall over and couldn't get back up. my depth perception was also off. finally my mom took me to Mckenna Hospital. they took one look at me and sent me back to a room for tests instantly. they are the reason I'm even alive.

      Nero Hunt that’s exactly what my mom did as well, she did everything she could. They just kept saying it was an ear infections because when I was little I would get them very easily so that’s just what they thought. Also my mom took my to multiple doctors. Not just the family physician. My mom did not make any mistakes at all. She did everything and anything she could. It’s such a rare disease they could not tell what was wrong especially since I was so young and would just complain of my ear hurting because that’s all I knew how to complain of because I didn’t know what was going on and neither did my mom nor the doctors. Very professional doctors misdiagnosed me. It was nothing to do with what my mother did wrong. She is the one who saved me and never gave up on me. I’m here today because of my mother dedication. ❤️

If a patient is difficult to diagnose why is a catscan that may or may not reveal the problem not ordered sooner... dr's should really listen to patients and take them seriously. Not necessarily being emotionally involved, but caring enough to try and get to the correct diagnosis. Ibuprofen or panadol is somehow insulting. Maybe pretend your patient is a family member.....I'm sure many become doctors for all the wrong reasons.

      Carrie Beckett they did notice and that’s actually also what caused some concern but then we asked the dentist and he just said oh yeah it’s probably just because you don’t have many teeth on the left side. He really showed no concern. But my mom still told all the specialists that as well. Most dentists actually refused to see me... in order for me to get braces we had to travel 2 hours away, just to find an orthodontist that would even put braces on me.. and still to this day have to see the same doctor for any dental needs.

Regardless of whatever this disease throws at you, you keep throwing back with your attitude. I bet you are an amazing mother because you are an extraordinary person!
      When I was in college I worked at a dental office as an dental assistant. The doctor I worked with would have pointed out ANY anomalies that were there. He had pointed out worrisome things to several of his patients and it turned out to be cancer. That's what prompted me to make that comment.

They can’t go back and change anything considering this show doesn’t even make new episodes or anything anymore. So I’m sorry that you don’t like it but there is nothing anyone can do about it. Not even this page can change it because it’s legally not even their video.. but I for sure do appreciate them putting it on RUclips so that more people are made aware of the diseases. That’s what the purpose of this show is, is to get information about rare diseases out there in case anyone is having the same symptoms or complications and is misdiagnosed and looking for something to help them find the truth. This shows really is know you of helped a lot of people and get the word out about a lot of rare diseases that a lot of people don’t pay attention to because you can’t really physically see the disease on the outside... so that’s why it’s so easy to be just judge my doctors or doctors. But anyways sorry... they can’t change anything about this video...

Your genes gets a bit mixed up then and the eyes are of two colors. Its more common with blue/light genes where it just "can't pick" blue or green or Grey and the two irises aren't the same color.

    It might be “challenging” to think of the sciatic nerve but any dumbass MD can order a scan! I’ve had *all* the scans & never a tumour but at least they looked! I’m Australian & we have “universal health cover” (which doesn’t cover everything as the term suggests) so that may be the difference. Not sending a patient for an expensive test they may not need is only helpful up to a point. Once you’re looking at someone with *years* of pain, you should at least recommend it & let the patient decide. It took me 20yrs to find the doctors who took my pain seriously (the scans didn’t show tumours but they did confirm diagnosis)

If it wasn’t included in our taxes (they vary with your income, you get free health care, schools etc even though you earn 10 dollars a year) I would never have had the finances to do them. Being sick makes you immobile, and on top of not being able to work it already puts you in an hard position And it doesn’t end well for those who can’t afford to get help.

      So many of the cases covered by this program seem to have doctors that don't take up preliminary flags and/or do further straightforward investigations.

      Claire Bear why what? Well the Bible says not to question. But I still have to ask. Why . ?it seems to be cruel to make someone suffer like this girl does . That’s the reason for the why?

    Lady, why took you so long to see a doctor? After WEEKS of pain? than waited again.. A CT scan from the very begging. One don't have to wait for years to go for a CT or a bone doctor at least. I am so very sorry for your big trouble, but you kind of did it to yourself...
