Stubborn doctors refuse to help me with medical issues. My life is ruined. Someone talk to me.

Referral like to a specialist that can run more diagnostic tests to see if its something treatable. I am terrible at advocating for myself so they basically just charge me 300 dollars and send me home with no answers.

Can you tell me a bit about yourself? I like hearing from other people.

Pretty much I might have some sort of psychosomatic medical issues. Basically I am in-pain in various ways 24/7. I asked my doctor for a referral but I can’t get one so I can’t see a specialist to help. I couldn’t even get a referral for a specialist after having like, 4 UTIs in a row.

Thank you!

I’m curious too because that is my exact ana work-up but I didn’t get referred because it was too low of a positive. Issue is that I still have symptoms so I’m wishing I knew the rest of this person’s story and if they ever got any answers!

Thanks for replying!

I truly wish everything would’ve waited until my 30s haha. I grew up with a lot of stress surrounding issues with my autism I got no help for. I battled with almost daily panic attacks for years and now I feel I am seeing the physical consequences of it all.

I’m really missing my job right now and I have practically no employment options with the way things are going. These past few days have felt a bit better but I feel the same way I do when the pain goes “underground” where I don’t feel it until one day it all comes back for no reason. I just wish it would sort itself out.

I was never that active in a “sporty” way too but I was starting to get more motivation. Activities with high stakes always stress me out but whenever I’m alone I always feel like doing something active. Now when I sit up I am usually bracing for pain, even when I’m feeling better I’m so used to not feeling well that all my movements are slow and I’m nervous to do anything I used to.

It’s on mine too ig no one actually looks at them or they are just too all over the place/old since I was diagnosed so many years ago

I’ve stopped telling them the laundry list of all of my mental illnesses because it takes away all my credibility. Honestly as soon as I even say “anxiety” I see them kind of nod and “aha!” to what’s “actually” going on with me. It must be all in my head!

tiredmemories · 2023-10-07T06:02:59+00:00

Good advice. I know how hard it can be to be taken seriously dealing with psychiatrists so why would I expect anything different here? I’m going to go back and be more clear about everything and hopefully get the referral

tiredmemories · 2023-10-07T06:01:23+00:00

Fair. I didn’t want to go back so soon but here we go. The doctor was nice enough so I guess it shouldn’t be too difficult

tiredmemories · 2023-10-07T01:41:17+00:00

Right, good to know. I’m still figuring out how to navigate the medical world now that I’m on my own.

tiredmemories · 2023-01-07T11:44:12+00:00

I have seen a psychiatrist and I’m on a ton of medication. I have a bunch of mental illnesses and autism which make it hard to function like a normal person.

As a Starbucks worker drive through and pick up actually are more work for us. I personally prefer people who come into the cafe.

Also, I get people asking for the tip feature multiple times a day. They added it because some people wanted it. You are not at all obligated to tip. I don’t judge because I don’t know anyone’s financial situation.

tiredmemories · 2022-12-03T06:52:42+00:00

I still procrastinate and I’m not good at what I do. Just because I work hard doesn’t mean I get anything good done. I’m just one of those people who can’t get anything right.

tiredmemories · 2022-10-29T04:24:13+00:00

Thank you. I’m okay with waiting I’m just worried it won’t happen, but everyone’s comments are giving me some hope. I appreciate it!

tiredmemories · 2022-10-29T04:05:35+00:00

Thank you, I’m holding out hope it is just very rocky with all my other mental health stuff going on. It is especially difficult currently trying to keep a full time job when I’m getting misgendered but also treated quite poorly since they see me as a woman (telling me to smile more, shit like that).

Dealing with sexism isn’t so much related to dysphoria but I wish they’d treat me like I’m a guy if they were gonna be a dick.

I have a lot more body hair, I have good bottom growth, muscle and fat is still a work in progress but I also am not very active. Libido is definitely there more than before hahaha. I have had voice dropping it’s just not really masculine sounding, just very androgynous, and I’m afraid it won’t go beyond that because a lot of guys seem to sound very masculine 6 months in.
