Re: Campus health rant
The better part of a year.
I was refused help. Only after I insisted on blood work did she realize, oh shit, I have anemia. Oh, and my migraines? Hormonal imbalance.
But I only got better because I fought for it. You need to go back to the doctor and get checked out. Maybe you can request someone else? You don't want whatever you have to get worse. I wish you luck, strength, and patience.
Re: Campus health rant
(Anonymous) 2012-10-17 01:11 am (UTC)(link)You're right in that I should go get it all checked out. She did order some blood tests and she said they looked normal, but to her a temp of 100 wasn't a fever.
Maybe if presenting with something undeniably physical they'll take me seriously. Maybe the rock hard lump in my neck will make them take my loss of weight and fatigue seriously.
I just feel so stupid. On one hand, I don't want to be dismissed. On the other, I'm not sure how badly this could mess me up.
Re: Campus health rant
If I were you I would document each symptom every day. Be detailed. If you feel dizzy or disoriented, how bad was it? What did it feel like? How aware were you? How long did it last? Did anything you do make it better or make it go away? Or if you have pain, where is it? How bad it is? Can you describe the pain? How long did it last? Did anything you do make it better or make it go away? You get the idea. Any detail you think the doctor should know, document it. Then when you go in, give them this information.
I know how you feel and let me say something. You are not stupid. You are not. I'm not going to lie, you may be dismissed again. I was dismissed multiple times before my doctor actually realized something was wrong. But if you feel that this is serious then you need to go back. It may be nothing but it may be something. It is better to be safe than sorry. Your health is very important.
So ask for a different doctor. When you get this new doctor tell them how you feel about being dismissed, that may get their attention. Give them your documentation. Hopefully you will get help.
And if, just if, it is stress, at least then you'll know for sure that's what it is. At least then you'll have peace of mind.
