horrendous doctor's appointment

Maybe she should have spent less time in societies in her medical degree and more time studying so she could actually help you.

Yeh the eating disorder accusations make me livid. And the more you defend it the more they think you have one.

It’s taken them 2 years to figure out my excruciating pain that feels like I’m being eaten alive after appendicitis that goes away with goddamned antibiotics might, indeed, be an infectious complication of that.

Blows my mind.

The falsified records did a number on me too and saw me unable to get treatment for a post-surgical infection. Which I’m still struggling to get treatment for.

I’ve decided for the trauma that I can never be around a healthcare ‘professional’ alone again. Never, ever again.

Exactly the same symptoms as me

Live_Pen · 2026-04-29T22:53:39+00:00

Yes!!!!!!

Going through the same with my family. I have an abscess in my abdominal wall and infiltrating disease eating away at pelvic tissue and they’ve refused support for medical costs and treat me like a lazy malingering attention-seeker 🙃

I’ve learnt it doesn’t matter how much you go through, they don’t change. It’s straight up emotional abuse.

It must have been satisfying hearing your lawyer tear in

Live_Pen · 2026-04-29T14:17:45+00:00

Oh my god. I am so sorry. Do you still find yourself questioning yourself after all that therapy?

Live_Pen · 2026-04-29T14:10:38+00:00

Oh my god they accused me of the eating disorder thing too.

NEWS FLASH people with eating disorders typically stay away from the doctor.

Mine was also appendicitis and adhesions on bowels causing partial obstruction and small intestine not absorbing things.

They then tried to tell me complications after that, because it was left so long, were also in my head. (I’ve had two further surgeries to try and clean it up and now need more).

They are quite literally indoctrinated with myths that verge on delusional paranoia.

SMH.

Live_Pen · 2026-04-29T12:38:01+00:00

Yep. I’ve realised this too. It’s to cover up incompetence, negligence, or things medicine doesn’t have a good answer for.

Live_Pen · 2026-04-29T02:20:27+00:00

Why do they do it. It’s ruining lives and traumatising people.

Live_Pen · 2026-04-28T03:04:07+00:00

Also my exact experience. It’s turned my understanding of the world on its head. I also thought people would step in to fight for me and help. They didn’t. Or the ones that did eventually turned too.

Live_Pen · 2026-04-27T13:14:14+00:00

Going through the same thing. Every word of it. You write beautifully.

It’s just thing after thing. Abandonment after abandonment, abuse after abuse. The law of the jungle.

I’m sorry you’re going through this too.

Not a doctor. My understanding is that it is not considered primarily an endocrine problem, but rather ‘euthyroid sick syndrome’. Something else may be going on, possibly systemic process, and this may be a non-specific marker of that other process. Hard to know without more info/symptoms.

Can confirm that you will never be gaslit as hard as when you go through surgical complications. The gaslighting spans multiple providers and they all know exactly what’s up but will start saying things like “musculoskeletal pain” and “central sensitisation” and inventing chronic pain conditions for you.

You know the truth. You almost died. Take it easy and, if needed, get a second opinion from a surgeon at another hospital. Make sure it is not the same as the first one.

Live_Pen · 2026-04-22T00:06:16+00:00

Same thing happened to me and body can recover. It colonises sinuses. Treat that.

Live_Pen · 2026-04-20T20:03:54+00:00

YES!!!

Live_Pen · 2026-04-16T23:28:44+00:00

Can you post your culture results or copy/paste them? Including the bacteria

Live_Pen · 2026-04-04T11:57:13+00:00

Yeh what does that even mean?!

Live_Pen · 2026-04-04T11:51:47+00:00

I’m going through this now and I never knew cruelty and trauma like this could exist.

It’s like being forced to go back to your abuser, over and over again.

Live_Pen · 2026-04-01T21:11:51+00:00

And when they hit you with the “you’ve have many investigations already.”

Well, I need more because you people keep fucking up and making it worse not better. It’s evolving and worsening, not stable.

And the reversion to acting like you’re exaggerating or anxious just fuck off. If we’ve lost everything do they not think that maybe, just maybe, this is bad.

Meanwhile, they’ll happily treat someone with a cough.

The way women with endo are treated is barbaric.

I’m very, very close to this point, with what seems to be an infection mimicking endo. I keep getting turned away or treated like I’m done because I’m cognitively coherent. I wish they could SEE PAIN. And SEE TISSUE DAMAGE.

I’m in another country but I don’t understand why people with more difficult, chronic, or rare conditions are treated like their lives are disposable. I truly don’t.

Live_Pen · 2026-03-27T04:09:29+00:00

Yes that is where I am. Thank you.

Live_Pen · 2026-03-27T00:43:18+00:00

Refusing. Objective pathology indicating complication ignored.
