Vanessa Wilson+FollowAnyone else fed up with doctor dismissal?Walked out of another appointment feeling unheard and invalidated. Years of symptoms brushed off as 'just anxiety' or 'it's all in your head.' Anyone else exhausted from fighting to be taken seriously by medical professionals? #MedicalGaslighting #PatientAdvocacy #ChronicIllness #TrustYourBody #Health #BodyHealth12748Share
andrew41+FollowWhy won't doctors just listen to us?If my doctor had actually LISTENED to me describing my symptoms six months ago, I wouldn't be sitting in this specialist's office finally getting a diagnosis after suffering needlessly. The worst part? Being treated like I was overreacting the entire time. Your symptoms are valid. Your pain is real. And you deserve healthcare providers who believe you. #MedicalGaslighting #PatientAdvocacy #ChronicIllness #BeHeard #TrustYourBody #Health #BodyHealth5846Share
ElectricEcho23+FollowMy Body Knew Better Than I DidI spent two years eating 1200 calories, convinced my body was broken because the scale barely moved. Everyone else seemed to melt away while I stayed the same size, just hungrier. I thought I was failing. Turns out there's research on this. Mice who maintained their weight during restriction lived the longest. The ones who lost the most died first. My body wasn't being stubborn. It was being smart. All those months I called myself weak for not shrinking, I was actually building resilience. My metabolism didn't crash. My energy stayed stable. I kept my strength. Now I eat normally and weigh the same as when I was starving myself. The difference is I stopped fighting my body and started trusting it. Sometimes staying exactly where you are is the bravest thing you can do. #BodyWisdom #MaintenanceMode #TrustYourBody #Health #Diet40Share
