Part of what makes me so mad is that all they had to do see there was a problem was test my iron, and they refused to do so, because I was over reacting. It wasn't until I got a family doctor that she was like, oh we should check that. Followed by 3 phone calls to find out why I wasn't dead. Apparently people don't…

Ya, they are really something. Or telling them something they did caused you pain, and they suggest you are a sissy, despite the fact you were suppose on pain medication for the procedure and they decided not to give it too you.

Ya, it's pretty awful. I don't have that on my file. Despite years of saying fibroids run in my family, no one wanted to believe because apparently that can't happen at 24. It was just in my tiny little woman brain, until I almost bled to death.

Nice assumption. I have PTSD from gynos.

I still have about 2 months on private clinic, and a year on the hospital. I've oddly walked by a lot of law firm ads recently. While I want to sound entirely honourable, honestly part of it is fear. When I tell the story I tend to relive it, and become a sobbing terrified mess. There's also part of me that's afraid…

That's horrible... I wish I could offer comfort, but I haven't had great experiences either. I kinda hoped someone with a biomedical background would do better than an art historian. Just, fuck that's upsetting.

.... shutter... here's my scary reading Why Millions of women are living in discomfort

I don't know about the US system, Canadian here. /wave Still, it's a problem on both sides of the boarder with no easy answers.

(A bit long, must have touched a nerve....) I get that it's complicated. I understand that doctors see a lot of stuff and deal with a lot of stuff most people never think of. They probably hear a lot of crap. That they are largely over worked, and probably over-tired. That they can't control their staff, and people…

Part of the reason why people react so strongly is because they've been told before it's not a problem, it's not real, you're just a sensitive whiney woman. To have someone go on TV and basically say ya it's crap, is really harmful to anyone that's had trouble getting an answer. I'm not saying it's easy to diagnose.…

Dunno, both my older sisters have self destructive tendencies that have prevented them from being successful. If I can learn from that and control/understand my own self destruction then I could be successful. From that side, being younger has advantages as I can observe and learn from my siblings failures. (Since it…

I also found they were better at listening too my Ex than me. When I can deal with going back to a doctor I am going to bring a guy friend to basically talk for me, because they don't listen to anything I say. Never cry in post-op, they will never believe that morphine doesn't work on you.

In 2013 you had to pay. So it must have.

Because OHIP doesn't over it. If I was under a certain age, I think they'd pay. We have healthcare, but everything isn't covered. Prescription drugs etc.

I got it when I was 30. You have to pay for it, about 600 CDN for all 3 shots. My doctor suggested I get because I had only had 1 partner and said she'd basically give it to anyone who asked and couldn't understand why they don't give to boys as well.

Falling/failing upwards?

Sooo basically if you were decently famous and have a baby you can write book and get it published?

Good idea! I was concerned I'd have to go outside and make friends. I am cringing while writing this.

I love that twin brother brags about how I can eat 5 donuts. I do it like a boss.

That and as annoying as it is, I like that I am stubborn enough to keep going.

We use to say good night to our raid leader's kids every night. It was super adorable. We had a warrior that had top dps when he was bottle feeding his daughter. I helped my nephew get through a few boss fights, although he'd take his DS and say "look mom I did it!!!" She'd smile and say "If keep taking credit for…
