@misspetrakp: It’s really disheartening when you don’t feel like they’re truly listening. You know your body so well, and sometimes you just want to feel heard and seen, even if they don’t have the exact answers in that moment. I get that doctors see so many people in a day, and it must be hard to always lead with empathy or not rush… but when you’re the one sitting there, fighting to be heard, it reminds you how strong you’ve had to become. 🖤 #trigeminalneuralgia #tnawareness #chronicillness
They always rush, interrupt you, look annoyed, don’t ask questions, look at the issue at the surface level and never investigate properly what will solve your issues. It’s very disappointing and discouraging.

For me it’s the night before, literally having the conversation over and over so I don’t miss anything or forget something important. No sleeping for me that night.

literally just finished crying explaining to my husband what happened with doctors today? I would love to talk about it. I wish there was a group on here that we could all talk about it.

and when you get home, the disappointment of realizing they still didn't take you serious or do anything (and knowing you'll get ANOTHER bill for NOTHING) and you're still sick.

I was told I was wrong by the nurse, PA, and doctor. A year later it turned out I was right: I have stage 4 cancer and I had it when I was insisting the scan was read wrong. They’re not your friends and they are human: advocate advocate advocate for YOU!!

I go in and sit as support for my 31 year old daughter for this reason. She just wants to be taken seriously by her doctor. As we all do.

I asked for a neurology referral again today.
I was told there’s “no point” because the wait is two years.
I said that constant migraines and nerve pain aren’t normal and I want to understand the cause. I’m unable to work due to debilitating nerve pain.
Instead, they prescribed daily migraine meds.
I’m exhausted fighting for medical care. I’ve never felt so unseen, I’m just a number. No one cares
