Re: Stupidest Thing You've Ever Hear Out of a Doctor

[(Anonymous)]

Every so often, I have lumps that swell up around my lips. For the life of me, I don't know what triggers it. I figure it must be environmental, because it'll happen after I eat and when I haven't had breakfast yet. I went to the campus doctor (because I was too old for parents' insurance) and she insisted I buy an epi-pen, and then spent twenty minutes berating me for my weight. I wasn't terribly overweight, but I wasn't skinny either...but either way, wasn't I here for swelling lips...? I didn't go back after that.

I once had a sore throat that made two lymph nodes on the front of my neck swell up to what felt like golf ball size. It interfered with swallowing and hurt horribly every time I tried. I didn't have insurance at this time, so I scrounged up the $100 for a local doctor visit and counted the seconds to when the doctor could spare me from my agony. The doctor spent less than five minutes with me. I don't even remember her feeling my neck. She just told me to go home and drink fluids. My boyfriend was waiting for me in the car when I was done and I just fell into my seat and started sobbing uncontrollably. I was in so much pain and I thought that would be at least the beginning of the end, but I got nothing. Instead, my boyfriend stayed up all night and woke me up every two hours to drink two gulps of Gatorade. And yes, I did marry him.

And currently, I've been fighting with two doctors. I had one doctor, a gyno, that told me I needed to be taking thyroid medication. She had upped the dose twice to 100 mcg, then left the practice she was in to go to a city over an hour and a half away. I didn't really want to talk to the next gyno about it (I got judgey vibes from her and I'm still overweight), so I figured I could just talk to a regular doctor. Two doctors, two blood tests, and two new little cysts on my thyroid later, and nobody but that first doctor thinks I need medication. I was on 100 mcg, how can I suddenly just be "okay"? And apparently the cysts are "nothing to worry about" but that side of my neck is always tender now. So yeah.
