Really, doctors? really? Nice. This poor girl =(



I see that a commenter named fatgirl wrote:

"It seems that you have to almost die to get a doctor to actually pay attention to you"

And sometimes, well, that seems quite accurate. I honestly don't know how many hypochondriacs and/or "stressed" and/or depressed and/or crazy people doctors have to deal with. But it seems like, if the symptom is vague, and the doctors don't find an answer right away, you get written off and/or ignored.


This girl... I've probably only had 1/3 as much difficulty as her. But my symptoms have most definitely affected my ability to be productive.
