    I think you're very beautiful and I love your makeup! Please don't let cruel people get you down - unfortunately, the world is full of them. Good luck with your treatment! and thank you for sharing. It's very informative and I'm sure will help many people, and you should be applauded for your efforts to help others even while you're going through such a difficult situation.

    You’re so amazing! Thank you so much for sharing these things with us. I just have to say that I hate medical gaslighting😖 It seems to be so much of that in the health care system. You go in, and you say that you are concerned about XYZ symptoms and then they blatantly invalidate your concerns by downplaying or minimizing the cause WITHOUT proper checks/tests. I nearly lost my son who ended up with multi organ failure because of medical staff and their gaslighting. So yeah, as much as it angers me to see that they brushed you off a few times, and had you wait even more time than what’s reasonable in your situation, I must say that you are also so courageous and so blessed with your willpower and strength to continue seeking out the help you need regardless of those disappointing encounters. You called around to get a proper evaluation, and you didn’t just settle for another “it’s nothing to worry about” medical gaslighting. I think your story is teaching us to be courageous, and to take our symptoms seriously even when we encounter people like that, to just continue pushing for a proper evaluation. So what if it’s just a cold, or a stomach ache, or in my son’s case a long term stomach bug (which it wasn’t!). Better to get it properly checked than to risk losing time and life due to medical gaslighting🙏🏼
