Ugh I have some kind of tonsil/sinus infection and I don't normally go to the doctor for colds and stuff because unless I know exactly what is wrong (like, I got stung by a bee on my eyelid; I got covid and my period lasted a month and a half) etc, the doctor will mention my weight/do the "it's all in your head" thing. Plus I take public transit and don't want to expose anyone else. And most flu and colds the advice is to stay home and rest anyway.

At least all my home covid tests are negative so far, but ugh it's ass o'clock in the morning and I woke myself up wheezing and everything from my tonsils on up feels swollen and everything from my tonsils on down hurts and itches. And this happens every damn time my tonsils get involved and sometimes the itching and soreness lasts for months. Last time I mentioned it my doctor told me I needed to carry my purse instead of having a cross-body bag.

I wish I'd had my tonsils out as a kid. I wish I was skinny so my doctor maybe wouldn't be such a shit about my weight, but I'm still a cis woman so maybe he'd still be an asshole.

Ha ha I feel you with weight. And my doctors are mostly women AND some of them are overweight. But still you get "oh you should get thin". Yeah cool.
Also WHAT IS WRONG WITH CROSS BODY BAG?!

In my experience doctors are often just assholes and will still do the it's all in your head thing, even if you're skinny.

Hope you feel better soon.

NAYRT - When you're fat, it's not just that it's in your head though. It's a result of you being fat, and have you tried sponsored weight-loss drug or program? I've had "have you tried losing weight" proposed to me as a solution from everything from migraine to allergic dermatitis, and I'm still only in the "overweight" BMI category. Anyone who crosses the magic number line into "obese" gets correspondingly more shit. I know of two people who may not have died of cancer if their sudden, unexpected weight loss had been treated as a symptom instead of a silver lining by medical professional.

Shitty doctors exist everywhere, but the discrimination that fat people face from the healthcare system is a separate issue from general medical incompetence.
