Christoff’s Space

Spousal caregiver

For my wife. For answers. For as long as it takes.

Welcome

Welcome to my little corner of FND Nope. I'm Christoff, the person behind FND Nope. This is where I share my thoughts, investigations, frustrations, occasional sarcasm, and whatever else catches my interest. I'm sceptical of medical dogma, allergic to unquestioned authority, and firmly believe that no diagnosis or idea should be beyond criticism. You don't have to agree with me. Good arguments and evidence are always welcome.

Using medication as a diagnostic tool

Over the centuries, doctors have devised a magnitude of methods to diagnose illnesses, from early clinical observations and skin prick tests, all the way through to X-rays, blood tests, ECGs, lumbar punctures, biopsies, mammograms, ultrasounds, endoscopies, stress tests, genetic testing, CT scans, MRIs, and functional imaging like PET scans, just to name a few.

Who am I? Why am I doing this?

For the past seven years, my wife’s health has steadily declined, which forced me into research mode - diving deep into various medical fields through countless hours of studying medical journals, textbooks, clinical resources, and literature, as we were passed from specialist to specialist.
