RE: Finally A "good" Health Update
Where are you located that they take so long to help you? I haven't been to a doc in years here in the US, but I understand it's 2-3 months out to get an appointment. It's easier to just go, or so I'm told, to the ER to get the help one needs.
Getting healthcare should not be this difficult! I am sorry you've had such a rough time of it. I hope things get taken care of and soon. Take care! !LADY

I'm in the US. The ER doesn't do anything for chronic issues, or even emergencies. Last time I went to the ER they released me with "no findings' or treatments-I had a partially collapsed lung and a hernia. I was at the ER because my vitals kept crashing including my 02 levels. They didn't take me seriously because the paramedic said it was "just anxiety". The test results were right there.This is...the norm for women with chronic illnesses all over the world unfortunately. drs just don't listen or even look at test results. There was yet another recent study that showed exactly this. That women are labeled with "anxiety" and not treated even when they get the same test results as men who are treated. Same for women's pain, not taken seriously or treated even when things like imaging show structural damage.
Healthcare is so expensive and I am gaslit by drs 95%+ of the time. It takes years for diagnosis. Unfortunately if you are female and already have other female dominant illnesses it's even worse. No one believes you. Drs are still to this day diagnosing hysteria, just under a different name.
My bloodwork has never once come back completely normal but that never mattered. it shouldn't take decades (onset in childhood) for diagnoses but it's happened to me more than once. I am not the only one. This is how all women with chronic illnesses are treated all over the world.
Thanks for you support. !BBH !UNI
It is sad; once, a few years back, I went to an arthritis doc at my DIL's insistence. The doc I was seeing was female. Even though it's evidenced through just visually looking at me, that I have arthritis. Anyway, she kept asking me if everything was okay at home. It didn't take me long to say adios to her and never go back, even though she did have an X-ray done of my back where it was indicated I had moderate arthritis there. That was 11 years ago and I've not been to a doc since for anything.
I just deal with things on my own. It makes one a little gun-shy to even think about going to a doc.
I don't even know what to say; docs do not want to treat all of you-just pieces of you, and that's a whole another story altogether.
Take care and hang in there. š¤
