Overview
In her teens, Samantha is told by doctors that the painful periods she was experiencing were nothing to worry about. Birth control pills and anti-inflammatory medication didn't help at all and Samantha was still in pain. After doing research on her own, Samantha has to try to convince her doctor what she has, but at this point will they listen? Brett is a self-employed civil engineer that starts developing back pain. Various doctors are unable to identify the cause of the back pain, so they prescribe different pills and antibiotics that affect his liver so much that other doctors thought he was an alcoholic and were reluctant to treat him. He has to keep fighting for himself and the correct diagnosis which will change his life forever.
