We have the studies to show that women’s medical concerns are often dismissed repeatedly at a rate much higher than men’s. What happens after that? Where do these women go? Who do they turn to when their doctor’s won’t help?

Something I haven’t heard anyone talk about before that I think is true is how much doctors are influencing women to turn to actually bad alternative medicine, antivax, etc. through dismissiveness and medical gaslighting. Doctors aren’t innocent here either.

I currently have a list of about 5 things I want to rule out, and I already have ruled out a few others that were unlikely but easier to rule out.

I’m at 22 years of health issues (some extreme) with no diagnosis. In the 17th year I found a doctor who listened and started testing and referring me to specialists. I did get one diagnosis but that was for an issue that popped up much later, and it was easily fixed with surgery.

Mine won’t even stock Covid vaccines because it’s not cost efficient. I have to drive an hour away to a small family owned pharmacy. My local health department doesn’t even have them.

By that I mean studies done on those of us who have this issue because the majority of people should be fine eating either. I’ve had food related health problems for decades with no explanation. I go to Europe and they disappear completely. I need to know what I am reacting to and why.

Okay, but there are those of us who get violently ill from a few contaminated crumbs of US food who can eat whatever we want in Europe without checking a single ingredient. Doesn’t mean food is safer there in general, but we need studies to be done to figure out wtf we are reacting to.

I think I deleted all of my posts because this is public and I want to share thoughts without people knowing I exist, which creates a paradox of sorts, but it looks as if I deleted the post that says that the blueberry is mine and I have the evidence if anyone tries to claim it, so I’m adding that.
