During all this chronic illness stuff, if there is one thing I could tell people going through the same thing, it’s this – TRUST YOURSELF. You know your body.
Even if you leave a doctors office in tears, feeling small and stupid, feeling upset – trust your gut instinct. If you KNOW something is wrong, do not let a doctor dismiss you or make you feel like a moron. See a different one, and a different one, and a different one – until one listens. Until one HEARS you. Until one investigates.
You are not crazy, you are not a hypochondriac, you are not “asking too much,” you are not being dramatic – you know you. You know your mind. You know your body. Keep fighting. Always fight.
I know it’s exhausting, I know it’s frustrating, I know it’s depressing, I know it hurts. KEEP FIGHTING FOR YOU. YOU ARE WORTH THE FIGHT.
