About Healthcare Hacks

Healthcare Hacks is a revolutionary new in-the-works blog for people who think outside the box. It's for patients who want to navigate their own medical maze, realizing their doctors don't have all the answers and even if they did, they probably wouldn't have more than the usual few minutes to give the run-down.

Health is part physical and part state of mind. No one is as invested in it as you. So, empower yourself, remember you hold the reins and follow your intuition. You only get one chance to make this body work for ya'. Is there any better time to start acting like it?

About Amy B. Scher

This all started with a teenie-eenie itty bitty tick. One I never met. One I never even knew existed until years after it bit me and I had been all around the U.S. to find out why my 25-year-old body was falling apart. My journey is now something I never imagined it would be. It started almost literally in my own backyard and now has found its way to New Delhi, India.

I've never been one to complain, give up, or wait around. So, I ventured off to find the truth. Now, over two years of pure confusion and 20-something doctors later, I realize I was sick long before I developed my first devastating symptom in July of 2005; the near complete loss of function in my limbs. I finally have an answer to a million suspicious symptoms big and small that I can now see clearly.

I am here to share my story. It's one of those that's really amazing and intriguing - if it's not yours. I can't promise it'll be free of drama or sadness, but it won't be all dark and gloom either. That's just not "me."

I live by a self-created motto: "When life kicks your ass, kick back." Side note: Or else, it might just kill you.

You'll be dumbfounded, entertained and who knows - maybe you'll learn something. I can assure you at the very least, you'll laugh, travel to India without leaving your seat, and probably become more aware than ever of how amazing the human body really is.

I hope you'll follow me on this journey. I'll do the hard work.....you just have to keep up.
