  1. Besides dealing with your suffering, you seem really cool and loving. At least you get to be “lively” and not be refined to a bed XD but ya, keep making rad stories about being strong and relentless. Keep expressing yourself and get your art out there, you’re not fighting alone :)

  2. Who said such a bold thing? Capitalism in the US has always been rampant, unorganized and shady. If you can’t afford your health insurance, you’re left to suffer or die. Capitalism doesn’t care about your feelings. Debt is what we’re dying for.

  3. Maybe. But New York in general is super diverse. I’m not saying you’re wrong, but the judgmental “bias” of looking at your patient who looks radiant and joyful has always been common when it comes to doctors. They probably think you’re overreacting and are not really sick. It’s very immature and unprofessional to suggest such a thing, nonetheless.

  4. pixie posse Still, it’s New York, lol. So you think that all the doctors are white and racist? What are you implying, specifically? You’re coming off as passive-aggressive when it comes to this topic, and keep repeating “white” people. I get it, you’re angry, but what you’re saying is also not true. I’m sure anyone with a “rare” disease is going through these same exact problems...I’ve seen it. Literally look up the other video on this channel, the women is “white” and she’s dealing with the same shit.

  5. Amercia is the worst developed country, its ass backwards.

  6. Sonia Helen Ponce I already know that? Why would you bring up Canada’s healthcare system if this is about the US? I brought up health insurance because a shit ton of people can’t afford it, so they’re left with a ton of bills in case of an emergency. I’m not interested in Canada, although I’ve looked into their healthcare system before.

  7. Chosen Fallen Yea, Sanders is our only hope for something big to change, and hopefully for the better. We can’t let the other puppets and idiots run our government...it’s so pathetic.

  8. Sarah Lane Exactly. People tend to only think about that, you know, to blame someone for something when they don’t know the whole story. There’s even a couple of documentaries I’ve seen that could refute these comments.

  9. shedoesconcerts Yea, you can’t make a claim like that unless you come with actual data. I believe in common sense, but you’re being too specific.

  10. I don’t think it has do with sexism. I think the doctors and everyone believe she isn’t credible, so her boyfriend proves at least, that she’s going through real physical problems.

  11. DORKY DANDRIDGE Here’s the thing, I don’t wanna dig too deep into the race issue that pixie was going for. I’m not hating on any race, but I do know there’s racism and other shit going on everywhere. “Systematic racism” for looking pretty? I don’t know about that...I don’t think it’s necessarily “racism”. More of the fact that she looks healthy and pretty, the doctors think she isn’t that sick. And as I said, it’s stupid.

  12.  Hailey Nicole  Woah, calm down XD what even is a "woc"? Edit: Oh yea, women of color...not used to people saying that, lol Fine, go with racism. I'll go with her looking like she's ready to go to a party, lol. When did I ever "dictate" anyone? I stated an opinion, lol, y'all like to start shit for no reason...I'm all for peace and love. Also, it's not always about race, anyone who has a "rare disease" goes through the same treatment.
    5
  13. DORKY DANDRIDGE Yep, I even agreed and said it was a factor. However, I sensed some racism from Pixie when she kept ranting on about white people. When it’s literally anyone. Not saying having support won’t help you in these situations. Yea, it could be racism or being a female, but I’m looking at the big picture, which is the the “rare disease”. It’s a very complicated and enduring commitment to find some relieve from the pain. This is what I understood from the documentaries: Afflicted and Unrest. Check them out if you can, they’re interesting.

  14. navyskaterdude We don’t, it’s not our problem, they have to defend themselves, honestly.

  15. That’s the issue these types of individuals who have some “rare” type of disease go through, they take dozens of shit to stop their body from harm, yet their body ends up deteriorating even more. It’s really a sad case, it’ll take years for anything to come to fruition, and even then, the amount of damage from the drugs will age them considerably.

  16. Having support of others is always needed. Nobody will take you seriously if you’re alone fighting a battle if nobody can find the cause...it’ll be a “cry wolf” situation.

  17. MissAndret That’s a little too much, lol, she visiting dozens of doctors, you can’t make a general assumption and say they’re “sexist”. It’s definitely more of they don’t what to do and think she’s mentally ill, that’s why her boyfriend is there to help them believe otherwise.

  18. Mandi Salmela I’m sorry to hear that. Why didn’t the doctors look at your family history? Or did they ignore it? Isn’t that weird that women are treated less than men when it comes to pain, yet they deal with their menstrual cycle and birthing a human from their vagina? I just find that odd. I am a male and I can take tons of pain, but maybe because of a lot traumatic events that I’ve become adjusted and comforted by pain. I’m curious, do you think females are more sensitive to pain than men? For instance, my sister would literally scream at the top of her lungs when she was in any type of pain XD My brother isn’t that bad, but he is also sensitive to pain. I think doctors are unprofessional and lazy when it comes to their patients complaining about something they can’t find, so they make up an excuse. What I truly think, though, is that doctors, or anyone in the medical field can’t understand our own bodies. From what I’ve seen and what I’ve experienced, I feel like that’s the major issue.

  19. Golden Carter Yep, look up Shalon Irving. She didn’t have good healthcare and went to a stupid doctor who misdiagnosed her. She ended up dead because of that. Instead, she should’ve went with her instinct and found a hospital that could care for her symptoms. This was in Baltimore, which is a very poor city. Race, gender, doctors...there’s many inconveniences if you’re seriously in need of help, but nobody can help you. Serena Williams situation was unprofessional. The staff didn’t believe her? What kind of hospital was that, lol. I’m not gonna say it was “racism”, since maybe the staff was diverse...but still stupid. Again with not believing past history injuries? Something odd was going on there.

  20. I have a similar problem because I’m mixed. But yea, America is a place of multiculturalism...so it’s as you said.

  21. Yea...I’m sure that’s useless, lmao

  22. Erik Pukinskis I meant as a major XD I just think it’s funny.

  23. Wearing braids or dreads is freedom of individuality. Grow up.

  24. Exactly, it’s sad that these idiots even get paid and ruin the economy even more.

  25. You can’t fully rely on doctors, lol. They’re not godly beings who can feel what you’re feeling. On the other hand, you can’t fully trust most of them, either. They’re going to give you tons of drugs, and they really don’t care about you, they get paid for your constant nagging, so they end up wining.

  26. Johnnetta Free I know, just being realistic. But that’s no reason to fully give up on them.

  27. Nicole Shepherd You don’t understand anything about “socialism”. You’re brainwashed, because that’s the generic example literally everyone says when they hear that term.

  28. Hank Moody I live in the US.

  29. Mandi Salmela I see. Well, I hope you’re doing better now :)

  30. Hoodoo Queen Scorpio I’m confused? I don’t think you read what I said properly.
    2
  31. Hoodoo Queen Scorpio No, I’m half Puerto Rican and white. I know blacks are treated badly in comparison to whites, and it’s because of where they live. Bad healthcare mixed with poverty...that’s not good. Is racism involved? Most likely. Quacks who don’t care about their patients because they can’t afford health insurance? Surely. I was never talking about race, it’s mostly about the individual having a “rare disease”...and that makes matters more complicated. Not all doctors are legit. Capitalism rules this country, so if you go to a shit doctor, you’re fucked. If there’s an emergency, try to find a good hospital, don’t go to a shit doctor who doesn’t care about your life.

  32. Rojo Cinxo Dinero Biologically speaking, yes. But, if they wanna be a “women”, let them think they’re, there’s no harm in that, it doesn’t affect you.

  33. Spiderific! No, it does if the doctor can’t find anything after a few tests. Then, it continues down the road, so then having support from someone who personally lives with you is the way for them to take you seriously.
    2
  34. Pink Flower I’m not patronizing her? Okie, now you’re being toxic, lol. Please be rational here, I’m simply saying you’ll be outnumbered by all the doctors you see, and they repeat the same words: I can’t do anything. Having someone for support will at least help you in the fight to get better. Being alone isn’t going to get you far, it’ll only make you lose your mental stability, which will make the “disease” more worst than it actually is (because by then, it’ll be delusional).

  35.  @emyemyemyyyy  That's a possibility, but that's why I said "support" in general, lol. I'm not gonna single out the male side, I just think support is needed under any stressful circumstance.

  36. Jason and Julie Smith Lol, what’s with all the hatred in these comments XD Did you even read what I said, or did you jump to conclusions?
    2
  37. Jason and Julie Smith Of course I don’t think that’s acceptable, I don’t care if you’re male or female, I believe in equality and helping someone in need. All I said is that support would be cool, because after going to multiple doctors down the line, and they say they can’t help for some reason, having someone there to support your cause will make them listen. At least, you’ll have more of a chance of them taking you seriously. I’m sure not every doctor you’re describing is like that, there’s definitely committed doctors out there who will continually help you in some way.

  38. Bee Keeper It’s fine XD I’m used people acting like this, people tend to not read what I say and get really passive aggressive. It happens in real life too, people are fearful of facts and rationality, it seems.

  39.  @beekeeper2036  You're right. I wish there was more people like you, lol, you're rad :p

  40. Pink Flower Woah, lol, calm down. My point was to look at it from a doctors perspective, they’re confused when they do tests and find nothing. Then they tell them it’s a psychological problem, because they’ve given up with the tools that they’re equipped with. It’s not their problem that technology can’t find everything within the body, which is why they give them random drugs to try to alleviate their pain. The first link you gave me was bullshit, lol. One of the links from the author was an article that was supposedly done in 1985, and that author didn’t want to say where the experiment was conducted...so no, I can’t take it seriously. The other article I couldn’t even read, you needed a subscription, lol. The Atlantic article was a little story about a hospital in Brooklyn...one fucking hospital that Racheal went to, apparently. She waited hours for care in the ER, so what? That article was embarrassing to say the least, the guy who wrote it is biased, they should’ve went to a better hospital if they couldn’t wait. Why don’t I have sympathy? Because I had Kidney Stones and literally waited 9 hours to be seen and to get a bed. I was in so much pain, yet they couldn’t care less, they eventually gave me morphine, but it didn’t do anything. I also didn’t get sleep because the guy next to me was snoring the whole night. In conclusion, there are bad hospitals...and there’s also crowded hospitals, I don’t know what else to say, lol. Either way, you gotta give me actual statistics if you wanna persuade me when it comes to the “sexism” part.

  41.  @zombieswillomnomnom  No, not entirely. You can't go blaming the entire system, lol. I'm sure it happens, anything happens.

  42. Men are also not taken seriously when it comes to rare diseases that doctors can’t properly diagnosis.

  43. Spiderific! I’ve watched a few documentaries on these type of individuals, it’s all the same. I don’t call myself an “expert”, lol, it’s just how it is. You can’t be biased when it comes to what gender it is, both parties suffer the same amount of stress.

  46. bike is short for bichael Why are putting shit in my mouth? We’re talking about a rare fucking disease, grow up.

  47. Tori Uptown What do you mean by that? And there’s no need to be racist.

  48. Lechiffresix six Oh, and all of humanity doesn’t matter? You’re gonna let one stupid individual make you a racist? You’re better than that, we’re living in the 21st century.

  49. @Siha I'm an American XD don't be so pissed at stupidity. She's obviously a racist who is immature and ignorant. What country are you from? Women in India get treated like shit. The caste system is still relevant in poor states/villages. Women in Korea and Japan don't get treated that well, either. I could go on, but there's no use in talking to idiots who proclaim themselves as victims and cry everyday. It's pathetic. China has already taken over XD not literally, more psychologically. Doesn't mean the CIA isn't spying on them, either.

  50. Sandra Llewellyn And I’ve already said that. Maybe instead of yelling at me, like everyone always does, you should read what I have to say.
