[QUOTE="Barb McD, post: 2209098, member: 519158"] I’ve been slim, athletic, pregnant (a lot), overweight, fat but fit, now 63kg and falling, 5’3 fem. In the past 30 years my misogynistic GP family friend said: depression stress - work & family related headaches all caused by the above NOT DIABETIC - NOT EVEN CLOSE neurological Barbara? No dear your feet/hands/nose (yes nose) are not discoloured the pains are “phantom” “imagined” on and on, I was in the “fat, fair & over 40 neurotic” file. I believed him, so did my family, so I compensated & said “I’m sorry” At 50 a bleed in my brain showed: a giant complex aneurysm Three years after surgery, new people in my life, the GP retired when he had a stent fitted in his heart. So many of my thoughts wrapped up in apologising. I only say I’m sorry now if I want to. I have no trust in doctors until they prove worthy. Still looking for a good one in the NHS in Northern Ireland. Don’t feel sorry for me, I’ve never had a stronger backbone. Vive la resistance!! [/QUOTE]
