@tortillawilson: Meanwhile I’ve been researching 4 hours a day for the last 15 years. 🤩 I used to come prepared with that research (and still love doctors who appreciate that) but pretending like I know less than I do is unfortunately how I got a proper diagnoses 💀 #pots #heds #mcas #hypermobility

I say that my psychic told me it isn't a big deal. "Yeah a doctor once told me to get tested but my psychic says it's normal to pass out every once and awhile". Works like a charm

My husband and recently said “just ask the doctor to test you for xyz, that’s what I always do.” We have the same doctor. I am floored.

My 19 yr old has endometriosis. No one would test her. Finally, she told one that she had a family history, her nana had it. They tested her and confirmed the diagnosis. Kiddo didn’t lie - her nana, my STEPmom, did indeed have it.

I’m a nurse and I tell my friends to tell their doctors that their nurse friend keeps bugging them to get tested for X but they definitely don’t even have it and me bugging them is soooo annoying.

I showed my doctor my spreadsheet of symptoms without mentioning the name of the diagnosis and he was like “ I know what that is!”

no joke this works better than having all the facts. i have been treated better by acting dumb, than i did when i went in with all my labs and tests already done and having all my ducks in a row so the diagnosis would be easier

I have an AMAZING doctor. I walked in like 4 times and was like "I think I have this weird super uncommon thing. test me for it" AND SHE DID. AND I HAD THEM. After the second diagnosis she was like HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS🤣 I'm about to go in for round number 5. I cant wait lol

"I saw a chiropractor and he said it was nothing to worry about, so I probably don't need any other treatment, right?"

Bro I went to my dr and asked for a beta blocker for anxiety, she said no that’s not good for anxiety. I went back 3 months later in agony and she said “have you ever heard of a beta blocker” 😒 I literally said “BeTa BLockEr… wHaT is ThAT???

“Hey my other doctor mentioned this thing, but said it’s not their specialty and I should ask you about it… what? Oh, no, I have no idea what it is.”

Literally have to coach my newly chronically ill friends how to do this 😭 so they can get what they need. (Also nobody takes my allergy to adhesives seriously unless I mispronounce “chlorine hexadide????” And “IV 4000????”

I never comment but commenting here to say THIS UNFORTUNATELY WORKS as a chronically ill girly I’ve genuinely been using this strategy for the past year and suddenly doctors are taking me more seriously it’s so sad but effective 😭

"This one doctor said I needed to get evaluated for this, but then I got busy and they left the practice." 🤷🏻‍♀️

I like to tell doctors that my husband wanted me to get it checked out because he is concerned. Works every time

If you mention other doctors have suggested you get tested but you don’t think that’s what you have, they will hone in on it 😂

Pretending we haven’t done research 😭 I’ve also used the “my mom screamed at me to come in but I don’t think it’s a big deal can we just rule out (thing I definitely have)”

no joke I always list my symptoms and then follow with, "personally I think its just stress or whatever" and then push and pull w them a bit when they try to refute it until i have to "concede" and get the tests done - has never not worked

this actually works this is how I always talk to medical professionals but I don't call it gaslighting I call it not hurting their big egos when making suggestions and glazing or NHBEWMSAG (you have to pronounce it aloud)

After months of appts I said to my doctor “one of my coworkers said she knows someone with pots and thinks I might have it bc I show the same symptoms, idk anything about it but thought I’d bring it up 🤷‍♀️” immediate referral to cardio 💀

If I act dumb and kinda lead them in the right direction they think that they came up with it all on their own

When I was starting a job at a hospital, my dad told me “doctors like to be the smartest people in the room. Say everything as a question and let them explain even if you already know what they’re talking about.”
