Thank you for speaking up about women’s pain not being taken as seriously. When I was 11 I went through puberty. Then at 12 I started having kidney stones, but I wasn’t diagnosed for months because doctors assumed it was my period. Now I’m almost 40, and I’ve passed many stones. I now have a wonderful doctor who helps me with my chronic kidney stone condition. Turns out I’m genetically predisposed. * I should probably add that by the time I was diagnosed, they could see scarring that meant I’d already passed 3 stones and was on my 4th. This was within the span of several months while I was 12 years old. I’d estimate by now I’m easily in the double digits for how many stones I’ve passed. On the positive side, I have great pain tolerance. 😂 I’ve broken a toe and didn’t scream.

Oof, I've had one, and I don't want any more. Granted, my periods are more painful, and my migraines are more painful than even those, but I don't need more added pain on top of those. And if your kidney stones are more painful than mine was, glad your doc is helping! In my 20s, I had a doc tell me that I was wrong about my migraine symptoms, and that I was actually experiencing other symptoms (that I wasn't experiencing at all), so I stopped going to him. He'd been seeing me for migraines since I was 9! He knew my symptoms!

Kidney stones are no joke. My daughter suffered from abdominal pain from the time she was about 8. The doctor diagnosed her with "stress related anxiety", which under the circumstances, was a fair diagnoses to make. However, years later when she was 14, she started missing periods. The doctor wouldn't listen to me as I asked for endometriosis and PCOS testing. Finally, a year later, they sent her off for extensive testing. The radiologist was astounded at how many eggs were stuck to her ovary walls - she had PCOS. All those years we could have been more prepared. Now, she's on the pill and has no pain at all. Remember guys - birth control is used for more than birth control!

Then one day I started to not not color in my vision. I got upset and went back scared to death and the doctor said that it was a mental problem because I was being hysterical. Finally my godfather who was a doctor found someone for me to see and when they did the exam it turned out that I had an EXTREMELY rare case of glaucoma and they had to do emergency surgery.

By the time I was 25, I'd lost almost everyone I'd ever been close to or loved except my best friend (who I lost at 31) & my mom (who passed in 2019). I took care of a dear friend after my mom passed & lost her in 2020. Met my soulmate in Oct that yr. Lost another person in 2021. Then last yr lost my car, my home of 22 yrs and all my animals.. in 1 effing yr. Since Aug '22, I've been in a cramped bedroom at my Aunt's (never been close to), existing out of a few boxes & bags (I lost 90% of everything I'd ever owned & everything my mom owned). When my soulmate lost his mom last yr he withdrew & the relationship is all but lost (I'm in the US & he's in England & we never even got a chance to touch one another). My cousin remarked, "we gave you 2, then 3, months to get over things & pull yourself together & you haven't.. you won't." If you haven't gone without.. If you haven't lost everything.. If you haven't been totally wiped out financially.. If you haven't been broken in every way, then you cannot 'know' how to give advice & certainly shouldn't judge whether someone just doesn't have enough 'will' to 'make things happen'. And, she did this on the 25th anniversary of my dad's death no less.

The Doctor's response? She's fine, just looking for attention. He was lucky our mom was between me and him, I very nearly attacked him. He dismissed us, and within an hour she'd lost control of the entire right side of her body. We had to drive to an ER in another town, over an hour away, to get her seen. Turns out she had encephalitis and would have died if we hadn't brought her in that same night. I've always wished my mom had sued, who knows how many other people he's treated like that..

Before the photo shoot, they simply stretched off the skin on her face by putting pieces of adhesive tape on her cheeks and stretching it behind her ears. Primitive but effective.

@saeveth I am so sorry for all that you've gone through. Whenever possible, bring someone to advocate for you. Make sure you add them to the HIPAA section as you're filling out information. Include their name, relation to you, their phone number and to what you are granting them access. I write (or upload depending on the forms): "I grant [person's name] permission to access all of my records including all of my test results, doctor's notes, nurse's notes, tech notes, films. Furthermore, [person's name] may speak to [specific doctor, imaging center or hospital] on my behalf to ask questions and receive full answers with no details withheld. This permission is to remain in effect unless and until I retract permission in writing." I then print, sign and date the form. Try to keep records in an easy-to-access format. For years, I kept all of my records in hard copy form only. I still present a hard copy of my present meds, doses, prescribing doctors, diagnoses, when diagnoses were made, symptoms, drug allergies, discontinued meds with reasons for discontinuing those meds under doctor's care. I include the name, address and phone number of my GP and my specialists. I include my pharmacy name, address and phone number. I include a photocopy of the front and back of my insurance card. The vaccinations that I've had in the last several years including the dates are included. Finally, at the top (under my name, address, insurance company + ID number), I note the reason for my visit (symptoms), the name, number and the relationship of 2 emergency contacts. My doctors have each told me that by reviewing this information and being able to scan it into my file, they've been able to get to testing and diagnosis faster. From time to time, I update this document so, if there's an emergency, I or someone else can quickly print copies for doctors, EMTs and my advocate. I have similar documents for both of my parents. This helped a lot during the height of COVID when no one was allowed to accompany my dad to the ER. The ER doctor who called was able to confirm the info in the document that was sent along with my dad to the ER and testing and treatment started right away. My goals with these documents are to reduce wasted time, reduce the chance of medical errors, and make it clear in a non-aggresive way that I know how to advocate for my family (and they know how to advocate for me). I've been misdiagnosed and I am disabled due to a surgeon who subsequently killed another patient weeks after leaving me disabled. I've learned how to be assertive. In addition to this hard copy document and copies kept in easily accessible electronic forms, I use my cell phone calendar and sometimes the memo to track certain info because you can search the memo and calendar by keywords. Being able to rapidly answer a doctor's questions by searching my calendar helps a lot. This isn't a fail safe, things can still go wrong. But, all of these things were learned via trial and error (It always helps to have an informed, calm yet assertive advocate with you when you are ill. I hope things go well for you from here on out and I wish you the best.

It means the world to me anytime speaks out about it bc ableism is everywhere and every ounce of awareness helps. I’m sick of people saying I’m lazy and lying. I have always considered going to a neurologist but idk. I’ve mainly gone to a rheumatologist for my physical issues.

I agree with most of the evidence base of medicine and the differences of correlation vs causation. Sadly, it takes years if not decades to prove cause in various medical problems. The same is true about data in relation the efficacy and problems related to surgeries, devices, and pharmaceuticals. Often times information is just lacking. Thankfully usually when we take drug we know they work pretty well for what they’re taken for. However, we often know much less about harms associated with their use. Informed consent when harms are known is infrequently provided. Because there is less research and funding in research about medical, drug, and device failures, I worry what is considered rare sometimes is just rarely diagnosed. This is particularly true when you consider the context under which medical devices get approved through the FDA, it really only needs the be considered like other approved devices (NOT TESTED). Proving harm in court may be much more difficult if a medical provider, surgery, pharmaceutical or device resulted in harm because the standards are different than suing a supplement brand that resulted in harm. This is not to say there aren’t very serious and real harms caused by wellness industries. There absolutely are. These industries certainly aren’t regulated a strictly as products provided by and regulated by medical professionals, it is just to say that there are significant deficiencies in both options. I agree that wellness products really target and exploit women because we often experience knowledge gaps and discrimination in our care. But to say that traditional medicine is not exploitative of people’s needs and insecurity is patently false. Cancer patients almost always face insurmountable debt and so do women, racial minorities, and people with disabilities in healthcare due to discrimination and knowledge gaps. Eczema patients are told to hide their skin in commercials that advertise expensive biologics to treat eczema so they can “free their skin again.” Traditional medicine is ableist in that it assumes every one can could or should live up to certain “normal” functions. It disregards how how structures, policy and attitudes shape disability as much as the body does. It views disability through the lens of tragedy and loss without considering the richness in such lives and experiences. I am not for or against any of these industries, I utilized both for my care. The truth is the state of regulation and understanding of certain concepts is quite limited both in trad medicine and alternative medicine. I would like to see a more integrated approach. Most of all I think there needs to be better communication and honesty with patients. Second, I think traditional doctors really need to take a closer look at the way their systems and frame work for understanding disability and patient care are creating an environment of frustration and distrust.

One of the biggest problems I saw when I was a fitness and nutrition specialist was the fact that most doctors even to this day getting very little training, in fact, base, nutrition, and fitness advice to give to their patients. I would hear all sorts of things that people got from their doctors that was either off the Internet, or just simply outdated. And then I had to fight against the garbage the people see online like you say from celebrities. It’s hard for anyone to tell what’s good advice and what’s not. Especially if their best friend says oh this is what worked for me and then they try that and end up sick or worse. I have a family member that followed some really bad advice and was on a diet for way too long and she ended up with stomach cancer and that stomach cancer was very directly linked to the diet. She was following. And this family member was a doctor. Very sad.

Until I started birth control, my periods were literally the worst pain in my life. I had times where I could barely stand up, barely had the energy to do anything. Now, I understand men not being able to fully understand the pain because they literally can't experience it. But I had a female cousin who constantly made it out like I was attention seeking, and was trying to give me "advice" that didn't actually help. It feels like such a betrayal when someone of the same biological sex puts down others and spreads misinformation that can potentially cause harm to yourself and others of the same sex. I'm from the southern US and sexism is still very much a thing here. To a lot of women, it's important to band together, support, and advocate for each other because there are plenty of men that won't help us. You're totally right in that a scam is equally wrong, regardless of gender. I feel OP's comment is more directed at that feeling of betrayal.

I am allergic to tampons and pads, and would get toxic shock syndrome. This was in Iowa in the 90s and I straight up had 2 male Dr's tell me that my swollen vagina looked "fine" and when I asked if I could have TSS (I had read about it) I was told that it wasn't real. I was 13, Dr's told my parents I was getting all the kidney infections and other symptoms from having sex. (I was a virgin until i was 19.) My Roman catholic boomer parents went ballistic. And the lack of proper medical care has left me with problems i still deal with to this day.

When I would call him because my legs were cramping, it was automatically, take potassium, your potassium is low. That is dangerous, not only for kidney function decline but heart as well (I have a murmur and other stuff). I did not know this so blindly did what this doctor said, as well as did a round of chemo while still on high doses of Prednisone, and almost bled to death because of it. This doctor is what led me into nursing since I didn't have the energy to become a doctor and go to school that long, and when I had to stop working as a nurse I got my pharmacy tech certification and tried to keep working then as well.

Oddly enough, my FIRST experience with the negligence was with a female Obgyn after I had delivered my 3rd child who weighed 9.5 lbs with no anesthesia. I returned several months later for a visit to discuss my extremely difficult and painful periods. She disregarded and disrespected me. I stayed for another two years in the practice and she was my OB for my 4th pregnancy. She detected an issue very early in my pregnancy. It required close supervision throughout the pregnancy. Thankfully, my child was born healthy and was monitored for the first year without issue. I will say she was a great OB and clinically; she was a great doctor. However, her bedside manner, concern for me as a patient, and our ideals were not in line with each other. I then Changed to male doctor that I stayed with until he retired and was lucky enough to find another and incredibly fantastic male Gyn that I have had ever since. He performed several surgeries on me and discovered that I had fibroids and undiagnosed endometriosis. I tell you all this to try to encourage you to find another doctor. It can be extremely important to your health. You have to be an advocate for your own health. I understand how frustrating and frightening this can be. You can walk out on any doctor that doesn’t suit your ideals or doesn’t treat you as a whole. Not all doctors are right for you just because they have the certification.

From my understanding the bra issue is more to do with the metal underwire in many. There was a concern that the metal may have been picking up some kind of electrical or radio wave similar to any metal antenna. Metal underwire bras come onto the market at the time that breast cancer numbers were growing across the populations in first world. ( 80's/ 90's) The metal underwire is the concern is the same as the living around major electrical grid transmitters and the mobile phone concerns. Things seem to morph into all sorts of different ideas, but having something blocking blood and lymph flow anywhere is not healthy for a body to always have. I personally do not bother with magazines like goop and agree with the general consensus that it is snake oil, but it is always worth digging deeper into realities of ideas AND most importantly realise weatern medicine in general is often extremely damaging and the statitics are there for all to see. The soft bras are the ones to wear at night which is probably what you naturally do anyway.

At 2:05 that's exactly what happened to my mom. She refused chemo because some guy out there was holding seminars talking about how he beat cancer with just holistic medicine. My mom believed the person so much that it spread to stage 4 and then when she realized none of it was working, she went with chemo. By the time she went through chemo, not only was it too late... She suffered through all the cons of chemo and didn't even get to reap the pros of it because she started so late in the stages. At the end of the day as much as I tried to convince her, she was set on her ways because she was convinced by that one guy who got lucky and now thinks he's some sort of miracle worker. I respected her decision and that's that. She's her own person so she ultimately gets to make that choice.

I work in phase 1 cancer clinical trial research. We quite literally only see patients with the worst prognosis that have exhausted all other means of treating their cancer, and volunteer to test new drugs that may or may not work/give them more time. Dr. Mike is absolutely correct, and that it is unfortunately not uncommon for us to meet patients who once had very treatable forms of cancer whose now last options are experimental treatments, all because they were led to believe things like teas, supplements, essential oils, etc. would cure their cancer. I almost lost it once in a tea store when a woman with cancer came in struggling and mentioned none of her cancer treatments were working, and the store owner proceeded to sell her on some tea that would "flush out all toxins" and "cure anything, including cancer". These people have NO IDEA how dangerous and impactful the misinformation they are spreading is, just trying to make a buck at someone else's expense. I can't thank Dr. Mike enough for highlighting this issue. I, for one, particularly appreciate his hard work stopping this nonsense.

Our western medical model has failed us. The cost scares people from getting insurance and going to the ER. I’m a massage therapist, and most clients come see me before their regular doctor for relief. I’ve heard decades of horror stories of patient mismanagement and harm directly from the people who are on their last hope. I have clients dying, because they were overradiated. I have clients who slip and fall and don’t know if they are concussed, because they can’t even get an appointment with their GP. Naturally, people will seek help elsewhere where they feel SEEN and treated with respect, harmful or not. The medical system did it to itself and has ruined countless lives in the process.

I have a feeling breasts used to be supported just fine on their own, but maybe now taking away that need by using bras, they have become weaker. Like not training and being weak, as you don't use the areas and they weaken, down to a point. I don't train and have almost never done so and I'm not a pile of bones on the floor. But they aren't strong if going against someone that has trained, presumably. Never fought anyone, wouldn't know. I would be curious how I would fare against different stages of a trained woman, if I can beat any of them as an entirely untrained man. Obviously I move around and lift some light stuff here and there in my life, but no deliberate training and nothing heavy done in other parts like in a work environment. At best I move my legs up and down a lot when sitting down. I believe there are videos of it and the claimed end result was that the trained women lost.

🙏Okay yall, I dont think its so black and white as the medical industry is all good and alternative medicine is all bad. I think there is sooo much grey area in both! Also, I have personally had great experiences with the jade egg and know someone who used the vagina steam to help her get pregnant and it was very successful. I feel like its important to understand the pros and cons of alternative “medicine” and work with someone who actually knows what they are doing in the alternative modalities. There would be a much more personalized assessment and evaluation as to how the alternative methodology could benefit/help the specific problem. There isn’t as much scientific research because trying to push alternative methods through the box of established medicine just doesn’t quite translate exactly. I also feel like a lot of the medical industry is built off of people staying sick/dependent on meds. Not saying thats not helpful by any means, but the medical industry has a ton of shady systems that is built off of a “good enough” solution that brings the most amount of profit. And of course, who is funding all the scientific proof and research? The companies that would benefit most from the published data. Not saying this is all bad, but there is just a lot of questionable reasoning to why things are done if you actually dig. What bothers me about Goop is that it feels like the worst of both worlds together 😡 making claims to a broad general public when the methods were never intended to work for everyone (probably with absolutely no support along the way). And pushing products as if it is going to be the new thing to “solve your problems immediately.” Ugh!!!!!!! It gives alternative medicine such a bad rep!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬

It sucks that we're in the world where there's such a maze for US citizens to traverse for healthcare, but you've taken to social media and wielded it as an incredible weapon to both (I guess ideally) change the ways of the healthcare system from higher up, and reassure & repair regular people's beliefs in their own doctors vs going down alternative, 0-evidence routes.
