  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

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

  8. 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.

  9. 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).

  10.  @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.

  11. 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?

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

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

  15. 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.

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

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

  18. 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.

  19. I hope everything gets better for you! Maybe seek other remedies other than drugs, if you can? The internet has dozens of ways to help better the situation you’re in.

  20. MissAndret I’m 24? What does this have to do with age, lol? Sure, there’s men who are sexist, and there are also women who are radical feminists...so what? Well, you’re the one who agreed with me when I said it was “sexism” XD the “general assumption” was that you said it was a possibility, and I wanted to clarify that you need to look at it from a different perspective.

  21. Main Street Boxer Lol, if you really think it’s the “entire system”, which compromises the entire country, you’re delusional. This isn’t the government, this is specifically “doctors”...are you going to blame surgeons and nurses, too? This isn’t about a checkup or a common sickness, this is about a “rare” disease. Unfortunately, a “cure” can’t be found for everything, sometimes the body is too complex to understand. But if you’re a millionaire, you can easily travel and not be limited. Also, don’t bring up “research” as an excuse, lol

  22. Kufre Akpan I never said that. Please read with glasses XD

  23. Main Street Boxer The government is literally “the system”, I’m specifically talking about doctors, don’t be an idiot. “Peer reviewed research”...yet, you didn’t give me one reference? You couldn’t even defend your own opinion, you’re pathetic.

  24. wizard You’re confused on my first point because you’re thinking too much. It was simply “support”, it doesn’t matter on the gender, in this case it was her boyfriend. Please don’t keep “assuming”, it’s not healthy and leads to more confusion. The answer was “support”. No, no, she came at me with bullshit links, that’s just idiotic on her part, she was so upset she didn’t think logically. Of course there is “sexism” among the workforce, not just the medical field. It’s just common sense, anything happens. I’m not bias, I was annoyed at her pathetic “articles”. It was filled with incompetence and opinions, no real evidence. Her boyfriend proves that she is having difficulty functioning in life, she is not having psychological problems. That’s the reason why many doctors don’t take her seriously in the first place. Lol, you’re stating your own ideal situation, and unfortunately it’s not that easy, that’s why you move on to the next doctor and have support on your side to get shit done.

  25. Avivamae My god, why are all of you so fucking angry at me? I’m not the enemy. Read carefully because I ain’t gonna repeat what I said. You’re acting at peak toxicity. You need to act like an adult and speak to me with respect, there’s no excuse for not reading all of what I said. Reading is what humans should do, and everyone seems illiterate these days? You’re acting like a fascist, and I don’t like passive aggressive people like you, you’re all the same.

  26. It’s a “surgical mask”. It’s common in Japan where people wear them to be considerate if they’re sick. They also use them for a fashion aesthetic.
