I've read a few stories about overweight women with PCOS or fibromyalgia or some other pain disorder that tried to get help from doctors and were initially told that if they "just lost some weight," all their problems would go away. This was even if the women had family histories of such disorders and their symptoms were textbook - the doctors would rather dismiss their problems out of hand just because they were heavier than average, rather than take them seriously and try to rule out things they can actually diagnose.

Granted, doctors seem to have issues taking women with pain disorders seriously in the first place, but it's not as if misogyny and fat-phobia don't greatly overlap.

Heh. I have PCOS and am on Metformin for it. The one time I went to one of the campus doctors to get my script refilled, I went in, told him why I was there, had to listen to a twenty-minute tirade on how I clearly overate and had a completely sedentary lifestyle (I don't - I tend to eat small portions, prefer healthier food to junk, and move plenty) and how my obesity was going to cause me to die of a heart attack, had to have my height and weight recorded just so he could record my BMI...

Bear in mind that I had said from the outset that I needed a script refill for Metformin for PCOS.

And he's gone off on a tirade about how my lifestyle, without actually ASKING me anything about it, was clearly causing me to be obese.

When I was asking for medication for a condition when causes obesity.

~Such~ a nice guy.

(Of course, he's somewhat trumped by ANOTHER campus doctor, when I went in with stomach complaints, who clearly decided that I had an anxiety disorder (he asked if I was stressed, I said 'maybe a little, final assignments are due next week, but nothing out of the ordinary and it's never caused stomach problems before) and PRESCRIBED ME ANTIDEPRESSANTS. ALSO without actually taking any psychiatric history!)
