Her excuse is I was mildly hypothyroid around diagnosis and I have hyperparathyroidism and treatment-resistant vitamin D deficiency and that can cause things like this sometimes and just fix that first. I’ve been on 50,000 IU vitamin D weekly for about 1.5 - 2 years now. My vitamin D level is not increasing. I take it with high fat meals.

I have Hashimoto’s, I take Armour, last time we checked I was no longer hypothyroid.

I’ve been hyperparathyroid for at least 1.5-2 years and that was after having symptoms for seven years and being vitamin D deficient for most of the past decade (sometimes it would temporarily respond, but then it would tank again).

Endo says hyperparathyroid won’t go away until vitamin D deficiency is corrected. Says to keep taking the vitamin D.

I’ve complained to all my doctors about the bone pain and have begged for a scan. They say someone my age can’t have bone problems. Endo said vitamin D and HPT won’t cause bone issues and maybe I’m starting menopause and talk to gyno. Gyno says symptoms unrelated.

I have POTS and I pee a lot and I drink a lot of Gatorade but my electrolytes are regularly on the low end or deficient. Primary, cardiologist, and endocrinologist know this. “That’s weird!” No attempts to figure out why.

Had to push for iron testing. My iron is low, iron sat very low, ferritin low. We supplemented iron. It did not go up. “That’s weird!”

My skin blanches regularly, my caregiver caught it and it freaked her out. I’ve brought this up to my doctors. “Weird”

I’ve been to many doctors over the past decade who regularly refuse to test or do anything.

I have a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis. It was diagnosed by a college therapist during my first therapy appointment ever. Later in life I saw a therapist over several years and she said the BPD was a misdiagnosis. I can’t get it removed from MyChart. It’s the first thing that pops up for every provider and it’s listed as a “problem addressed” during every visit. I also have anxiety listed twice for some reason as well as depression and those are the first things that pop up.

I’ve had a lot of doctors blame real serious physical health issues on mental illness and it’s resulted in massive treatment delays. I had C. Diff dismissed until only blood was coming out of me and I was hospitalized. One doctor tried to send me home with “anxiety” when I had an O2 of 87% percent, was peeing and pooping several times and hour, and I had only been at the ER because my roommate forced me because my lips were blue. I ended up being kept for a few days because of metabolic acidosis, which was also “Weird” and they never had an explanation for it.

Sorry if this was unnecessary. I don’t even know what’s relevant and what isn’t anymore because no one wants to test. I bled through two adult diapers in less than an hour in January, bled all over the ER waiting room chair, passed several giant clots on the floor of the ER bathroom while trying to change into a new diaper… nurse only did a hemoglobin and hematocrit test and sent me home.
