YUCAIPA

Missing woman found dead in her car

A woman missing since Monday was found dead in her Lexus on Thursday morning, authorities said.

Patricia Doll, 45, of Yucaipa was found by a resident in her car which was parked near the 37000 block of Oak Glen Road.

Authorities said she may have purposely taken an overdose of medication. It is believed that she was dead in her car for at least a day.

Doll was thought to be despondent stemming from her battles with multiple sclerosis and lyme disease. She was unable to walk without the aid of a cane.

Some Californians need to follow up on this story to get at the truth, whatever it is.

By the way, this is qd, ya'll, so don't send a Welcome. I had to come on here as pq due to password and email problems. I shall return as my old self as soon as I can find a "phone booth," or a Holadeck in which to "morph."

It would be interesting to find out if she had just started treatment. Suicides have been recorded in the first few days and might be a real risk factor.

That poor woman.

At the very least Lymenet is a resource and very often a lifenet for those infected and their families.

So often people have posted desparate for info and hope. Someone always steps up and offers help and support. Thank you.

We get to fighting and fussing sometimes, but the reality is that this forum is a life line for so many.

I lurked and cried for a long time before posting. Just knowing others were in the same situation was enough to keep me fighting.

Rest and be well,
Mel

Yes milkeen,

This site and the canlyme site saved me too. I was very suicidal for many months before finding these places with wonderful people. I never did anything but the thoughts were always there.

I feel sorry for those unable to come to a site like this. It was a lifesaver for me. I never would have made it without Lymenet.

That's why I haven't left! Others are counting on us to be there for them!

Hey y'all

With this article, and listening to the many suicidal ideation, it's all the more reason for us to write when we're getting healthy and when we're cured. We all need to hear the success stories. Let's not forget to come back once we're well. We need you just as much when you're cured as we do when you're sick.

There are days I hear nothing but the scarey stuff on here, and feel as if I'll never get better.

I am finally feeling really good. I have two more months on the antibiotics, and then we'll probably sneek a peek.

Get well everyone. It does happen.

Meem

These so-called 'authorities' should've refrained from attributions to this woman's cause of death; even if, from all appearances at the scene, suicide may have looked patently obvious, and particularly given her diagnoses.

Only an autopsy, and appropriate blood, urine and other chemistries, and forensic medical,and other appropriate testing would affirm or deny suicide. Only then, can a statement as to the cause(s) of death be made.

The number of probable causes for her death are very many,and include:

1. Whether, or not compatible, accidental death due to combination(s) of meds., and/or OTC remedies.

2. Forgetting what she took.

3. Grabbing the wrong bottle of medicine,supplement, OTC remedy, off the shelf, or the counter top, a bottle that was next to the one she intended to get. This scenario could even be the the correct bottle, since it was next to the bottle she intended to get.

4. Scenario No.3, but with the exception that she had a pill box, with a number of compartments.
Here, substitute tablet and/or capsule for a bottle on the shelf, or countertop.


Therefore, its irresponsible, and unprofessional for these authorities to make public statements such as these without supporting forensic medical, and other kinds of documentation.
