I have hypermobile Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (hEDS), which is one of the most under-diagnosed conditions. The vast majority who have it will live their entire painful lives being gaslight by doctors. It's been known about for thousands of years and is incredibly easy to diagnose, yet somehow doctors still get it wrong. I have extremely low respect for doctors and the medical establishment, if they can't get hEDS right then what can get right.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoI had undiagnosed hypothyroidism for 2 years of my childhood because doctors looked at my textbook symptoms and just claimed I was lazy. Ultimately I was diagnosed by my mother's coworker/friend. They were parking ramp toll booth attendants at an airport at the time. She recognized the symptoms because her dog had it. My mother had to go full Karen on a doctor until they agreed to test for it. Your average doctor is given entirely too much faith.
