Nancy Discovers 4 Hidden Conditions and a Possible Answer to 35 Years of Pain

Nancy

Thousand Oaks, CA

Key Moments

1

Unified decades of health records into one secure picture. Medicare, hospitals, labs, and fitness data all in one place for the first time.

2

Found a slipped disc in her MRI that had been missed. Lotus compared two scans and spotted the change when her symptoms worsened.

3

Discovered two documented diagnoses she was never told about, a peptic ulcer and mild COPD, provided guidance that helped address her symptoms.

4

Realized she may have been misdiagnosed for 35 years. Suspected lupus turned out to be likely MCAS, and a simple antihistamine brought relief the next day.

5

Confirmed a documented steroid allergy during an active reaction, urged an ER visit and surfaced the allergy record that hadn’t been mentioned before the injection.

Nancy’s Full Story

From Scattered Records to a Complete Health Picture

Nancy, a retired teacher, gained access to her complete medical history when Lotus Health, an AI-powered healthcare platform, unified records from Medicare, hospitals, and multiple providers into one secure, comprehensive system. After years of struggling to remember her medical details at appointments, she finally had every lab result, diagnostic test, and treatment note in one searchable place. This level of health data unification meant her primary care copilot could instantly reference her full history—something no individual provider had ever managed.

Seeing the Bigger Picture on a Complex Injury

Soon after joining Lotus, Nancy experienced a torn glute that led to hip bursitis, spinal stenosis, and pinched nerves. While each issue was being treated, her digital health copilot helped her understand how they were interconnected. When her symptoms changed after physical therapy, Lotus compared her MRIs and identified a slipped disc—giving her valuable information to guide follow-up conversations and care.

Rediscovering Details in Her Medical History

By reviewing her hospital records, Lotus brought attention to a peptic ulcer and mild COPD that had been documented in past visits. The ulcer explained months of lingering stomach discomfort, and Lotus, acting as her AI health companion, provided personalized dietary, stress, and lifestyle suggestions to support recovery.

Guiding a Safe Response During an Allergic Reaction

During a follow-up for her hip injury, Nancy received a steroid injection and later began experiencing signs of an allergic reaction. Lotus recognized the symptoms as potentially serious, recommended she go to the ER, and confirmed from her records that she had a documented allergy—information that proved useful in her treatment. As her symptoms worsened, she ultimately needed to be transported to the ER, where she spent several hours receiving care.

Exploring New Possibilities for an Old Diagnosis

For decades, Nancy believed she had mild lupus. After reviewing her complete history, Lotus suggested she might instead have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). A simple antihistamine significantly reduced her inflammation and pain the very next day, encouraging further discussion with her healthcare team.

Everyday Support That Builds Confidence

Lotus identified a pattern of chronic dehydration in her hospital records—something Nancy hadn’t realized—after finding multiple visits where she was treated for it. It began sending daily water reminders to help her stay hydrated. Lotus also helped her manage “white coat syndrome” by preparing short lists of key points and questions to take into appointments, so she could communicate her concerns clearly—a feature she says has made a meaningful difference in her care.

Living Life With a 24/7 Health Copilot

Nancy now describes Lotus as a constant, judgment-free AI health copilot that sees the whole picture, supports her in daily decisions, and helps her feel more prepared and confident in managing her health. As she puts it, “It’s connecting the dots… it’s like Star Trek…”
