relief due to my positive medical examinations

It's hard to explain because for so many years, doctors never took my pain seriously. Today I learned that all this pain and fatigue I have been feeling for so many years is actually caused by endometriosis. I would of course have preferred to have nothing at all. But I felt deep down that it wasn't all just "stress and anxiety". For so long I thought the problem was me, hypochondriac? crazy? make me interesting? No. just almost 10 years of wandering and guilt. I tell all this so that we, patients, do not forget that we know our body and our mind more than anyone else. So just listen to what your body says, what your gut says, it doesn't lie. •ᴗ• have a nice day everyone •ᴗ• 𖡼𖤣𖥧𖡼𓋼𖤣𖥧𓋼𓍊

Going through something similar. I get random bouts of fatigue, and then chest infections or sinus infections, every few months. Have been tested for anemia four times, have also had my electrolytes tested multiple times. My new doctor is convinced I have some form of anemia and had me do another blood draw. He didn’t tell me it was all stress and in my head, like my last doctor did. We finally got a test that confirmed dropping red blood cell counts, and the possibility of leukemia. Still have to go through more tests, but it’s giving me hope that I’m not crazy!

I hope your mental health is doing well as possible. It gave a weird feeling when we finally know what’s really going on in our body. I feel a relief then anger then fear.. really weird and inexplicable émotions. Women have to find themself what’s in them and it is nor fair. I struggle with severe depression, and for the doc it’s so easy to just justify everything with this. I feel you i’am with you and i wish you everything best for you 🫶🏻 (Sorry i’m french and i don’t use a translator, hope it’s not a word mess! )
