I have to fight every time I am suffering. It’s ridiculous.
-
Bad cramps; must be normal period pain… Nope! Severe Endometriosis that required surgery.
-
Exhausted all the time; must need to exercise more… Nope! Narcolepsy!
-
Joint pain and weakness; you could afford to lose 10lbs… Nope! Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
-
Passing out going from heat and movement; change your diet and drink more water… Nope! Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
-
My feet are always freezing; wear more clothes… Nope! My veins are literally leaking (found this out on the 30th)
-
Headaches where I blackout and slur words; must be hormones or poor nutrition… Nope! Hemiplegic Migraine Disorder and TIA(mini strokes)
-
Getting spacey, dropping things, memory issues; must be a hypochondriac… Nope! Seizures.
-
I fought for 7 years to get sterilized because my health problems are genetic and was told I was too young to make that decision (at 24) and that my ex husband might change HIS mind about wanting kids so they wouldn’t do it.
I’m so sick of doctors not listening to me because I’m a woman who is not even remotely fat, but has a pronounced hourglass figure. (Size H chest)
