I just want to know how someone can have a disease this stupid for years. Here's how it's happened to me.
My first major experience with "health" came when I was pregnant & had to get on Medicaid to have my only child. The OB-GYN that brought my child into this world was such a righteous judgmental pig I refused to go again 'til my only child was 3.
So my child's 3 & if I've still got Medicaid I can't find anybody to accept it. I was forced to go to a freebie college clinic where I was forced to put on a free show for a bunch of newbies & their teacher. If I got anything at all it was birth control pills. And after this treatment I swore I'd never deal with a freebie college clinic again.
Next thing ya know my only child's 8 & I got married. Now I know I have female problems. After marriage & before insurance I was forced to go to a freebie Indian clinic. Already by this time if it's a male doing to the exam then a female nurse is supposed to be in the room. We had no nurse & next thing I know this male's doing something to me that wasn't done before & hasn't been done since so I know it's not necessary on women. It's just something he personally prefers to do...with no warning. Who do they think they are? What makes them think they have a right? And how do we teach them otherwise?
If you look up endo it says a woman must be scoped to be diagnosed with it. It says if she's trying to have children she can try scraping, burning or laser removal. Otherwise there's birth control pills & other hormones. Finally, as a last result, there's a hysterectomy. I was married. We were trying to have kids for some stupid reason. And I finally had insurance. Yet when I went to a doctor I was forced to deal with her nurse practitioner. She insisted on birth control...twice...& said if it didn't help she'd finally scope me. After the 2nd time her doctor quit, she had to go elsewhere & her new doctor didn't accept my insurance.
They should've either done this procedure before my doctor quit or set this up with someone who would. The very next doctor should've been scoping me & telling me something. This is 1/2 the stress & anxiety...the not knowing. It could be cancer for all I know. Yet the very next doctor, an endo specialist no less, treated me just like the freebie college clinic. The appointment was either late a.m. or early afternoon yet I was still sitting in the lobby hours later. Then I was given a piece of paper that barely covered me to cover myself with. Not a gown & a sheet. A piece of paper that barely covered me & no sheet. Then he dragged in a team of newbies he was training. I complained & he ignored me. It's hard to sit around & argue with nothing on but a piece of paper. Then he wanted to try birth control pills again. I refused. And when they called 6 mo's later to discuss a follow up I laughed in their ear & hung up the phone.
Next I was wrongfully terminated & lost my health insurance. Just before I lost my insurance I had an upper & lower GI & was diagnosed with acid reflux & IBS too. So I've been left to rot with these as well. After I lost my insurance I still worked so I couldn't qualify for Medicaid. So now it's freebie college clinics, freebie Indian clinics or freebie Indian hospitals. Tried the college clinics. Tried the Indian clinics. The first time I tried the nearest Indian hospital, which was 45 minutes away, I told them I wanted a female doctor. I get all the way out there & they inform me she'd called in sick so they were sticking me with a man. Don't you think you should call someone & give them an option before they drive 45 minutes? No they don't...we're just cattle with no rights what-so-ever after all. So I walked out. The last time I tried this same hospital again I made my appointment for early afternoon but I was still sitting in the lobby 'til just before they closed. I was rushed through the appointment. I was given a chart to keep track of my visits. She may have mentioned birth control pills at best. But we'd talk about it next time when there was more time. There's never been a next time.
I just worked sick 'til I could stand to do so no more. I used to drag my heating pad to work with me. I almost fainted in the parking lot a few times. Also I believe ovarian cysts have bursts while I was driving down the road & the sudden pain almost caused me to have wrecks. But I was a single mom so I worked worked worked. I also taught myself stuff on the side...namely website design, web graphic design, digital photography & image editing. I was hoping to start/run my own home biz & buy my own health insurance. That hasn't worked out yet. But then next thing you know I lost yet another dead-end job, my mom, my family & another loser boyfriend all in just over a month. So I'll agree to stress, anxiety & post traumatic stress disorder. But I'll never agree it's a chemical imbalance in my brain, a pill will help or that I now have to be treated like I'm mentally ####.
Side note...there's a big difference between stress, anxiety & PTSD & psychotic. There's also a big difference between psychotic & ####. In fact some psychos are geniuses. I don't mean they were geniuses because they committed crimes...I mean per something like an aptitude test they were already scientific or mathematical geniuses. Don't believe they treat everybody the same & like they're mentally ####? Search for picture perfect living atx which means at Texas. Then look at their rules & regulations. That partially explains all the homeless people in Texas.
After I lost everybody & everything I had no insurance what-so-ever. A trip to an ER in 2004 is how I learned stress & anxiety aggravate my heart murmur & cause me chest pains. In 2005 I got sick & stayed that way for a month. I went to an ER 4 times in a week. I was only seen 3 but I went 4. Through them I tried hormones & got an ultrasound. They insisted I get on MAP & go to a clinic. Then this one clinic can't help me...I have to go elsewhere. If the MAP clinic hadn't insisted on a biopsy I would've never got one. They sent me to another freebie college clinic...that called themselves specialists. Birth control pills are no longer an option. I tried more hormones & it didn't help...I don't care what another ultrasound said. Scraping, burning or laser removal's no longer an option. I wanted a hysterectomy. They tried to make me have another upper & lower GI to see if this is related to a stomach virus. But I've already had one since the female problems & was diagnosed with acid reflux & IBS. I refuse...so they r
