fedup

I really can’t fathom this beyond selfish, uncaring, disappointing, disgusting world we live in. I try to stay as POSITIVE as possible; however day by day it’s just becoming basically impossible. In what kind of a world do you go see your GP for an underlying condition that’s been going on for months now and is just getting worse and more severe and get treated as if you don’t matter, you’re not important and rudely get rushed and rushed when you’re trying to explain everything that’s been going on due to being scared shitless and ridden with anxiety 24/7 that something is most def wrong. What kind of a world is it okay for a Dr to not listen to your lungs or heart, doesn’t check your ears, throat or lymph nodes under your jaw when everything needs to be ruled out due to the symptoms you’re experiencing. No bedside manner, no empathy not even a care in the world that I’m in constant excruciating pain 24/7 legit hysterically crying to him due to the pain I’ve been dealing with for 4 straight months now. I went in with the hopes of being treated like a human being, instead it was like I was just a number and a code to be paid for. How is it right for your own Dr you’ve been seeing for years now is just talking crap under his breath saying “I have to leave” and rushing me out the door when I was in the middle of a conversation. I completely understand how busy Drs can be, I am a board certified Ophthalmic Scribe; so I know how a patient is supposed to be treated. He also interrupted me abruptly and said that I was on a medication that I don’t take lightly and I haven’t been on it for over 8/9 years, what an INSULT that was!! So what you can’t even look at my chart to see what meds I’m on?!? What are you doing the whole time your back is turned to me then?? Mind you, an assistant brings you in first and is supposed to go over your meds & history and she couldn’t even do her job, like what?!? I was being belittled the entire time and he didn’t “like” the questions I was asking, WTF? Hello, it’s my body and I am the one that has to deal with it on a daily basis, I DESERVE to ask as many questions as I want, how dare you say or act otherwise?!? Since he was I guess “aggravated”at my questions, he abruptly kept answering with only yes or no answers. I asked if there was anyway I still had an infection that didn’t go away and he again said abruptly “NO” without even examining me?!? How is this right in any way, shape or form? It’s NOT!! I asked him for a refill on a medication for my migraines that mind you in the past year, I’ve only received 1 prescription with 15 tablets, not even a months worth, just 1 all year!! It’s the only medication that decreases my pain and allows me to get some stuff done, instead of being bedridden for days on end. He “didn’t” like that I asked so he kept rushing & rushing me out the door, got up like a damn CHILD basically running out the door, what is that s***?! There was no ending to our appointment, no “I’ll call you when the labs come in, or do you want to make a follow up appointment, no goodbye NOTHING!!! I went in deathly scared and left even more scared than I’ve ever been. It could be my heart, my kidneys, my circulation or vascular. That is not to take lightly at all!! I am so beyond frustrated and hurt, mad, sad, dissatisfied, disappointed, misunderstood and filled with many unknowns. I was grown up with the “Golden Rule”; you treat people the way YOU want to be treated & I live by that and it’s absolutely disgusting that even a Dr can’t give you the time of day or the care and help you desperately need. These Drs are getting away with way to much unacceptable, inappropriate and unprofessional behaviors and actions. Yes I will admit I was running 10 mins behind due to traffic, however I called b/c it’s the right thing to do and was told “Don’t rush, weren’t not busy”. If there’s anything I’m guilty of is being to nice of a person and caring about people more then I should, I always give everyone the benefit of the doubt due to you never knowing what someone is truly going through and yet it slaps me in the face every damn time, it’s so sad to say the least. They say “reach out if you need help”, “Don’t hesitate, we’re here to help” or what have you. You do whatever means necessary to advocate for yourself and it gets you no where 😥. All I am trying to do is find out what is wrong with me so I can hopefully get my life back, I guess that’s to much to ask, idk anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️ #fedup #overwhelmed #BipolarDepression #MajorDepressiveDisorder #Anxiety #IBS #dontknowwhattodo #alone #ChronicPain

I'm tired of feeling tired.

I'm tired of feeling fed up

I'm tired of spending all day in bed as I can't do/face anything else

But most of all...

I'm tired of being in excruciating pain due to my endo on top of my Chronic pain due to EDS!

I know there is an end to this but it seems to be so far away as I don't have a date for my op yet, not to mention the fact that that might not even stop the pain!

Also...

I want to get back to work but at the same time I'm terrified that I won't cope when I do!

I think I’m done trying to give an opinion on anything to anyone I know. I must be some kind of idiot or something because all I ever get is shot down. Even my wife, I can’t seem to have a discussion with, she immediately just says “ fine, I guess I’ll never bring it up again”

By now you’d think I would be used to it, it’s been this way pretty much my entire life, I’ve felt like I’ve never really mattered

Thanks for listening

STOP 🛑. TEXTING AND STOP 🛑 ACTING LIKE YOU GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT OTHERS. I AM ... WE ARE ON HERE FOR SUPPORT AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ADJUST OUR ACCTS TO NEGATE PEOPLE FROM MESSAGING. HAVE SOME RESPECT.... THIS IS NOT BUMBLE.... IT'S TUMBLE... I'M GOING TO TUMBLE MY FOOT UP YOUR ASS... CUT IT THE F. OUT ALREADY... GOOD GOD...🤬

Hi - I've had a shocking couple of years health wise. I've been hospitalised twice, had my gallbladder removed, and had sepsis. And then just as I recovered from all that I've managed to obtain a herniated disc, which is excruciating.

I've been off work 6-months out of the last 24-months with my physical health issues. My mental health has been ok, but recently I have been getting down mainly because (I suspect) I cannot do the things that keep me out of my head, such as running, cycling, tending my garden, basically anything that involved physical activity.

I've also had a lot of time to think, which is never good for me.

I don't know where my life is going.

The kids are just about grown up and self-sufficient.

I've got the qualifications, both academic and professional, in my job. By any measure I have a good job working for a great company.

But I am sad all the time.

My job doesn't do it for me anymore, and after the few years I have had with my health I have no energy left for the constant push to 'improve' myself. My company are pushing me towards roles that I now realise make me deeply uncomfortable and cause me stress and anxiety.

I have worked so hard over the past decade to fifteen years to provide for my family, that I have neglected myself. I don't really have any hobbies nor the first idea what to do with myself. I know I should just try various things and eventually I will find the thing(s) that I enjoy, but something is stopping me and I am not sure what.

I have no purpose. Married - tick. Kids, done and they are both well adjusted - tick. Degree - tick. Masters degree - tick. Professionally qualified - tick. Good job that pays me enough to not have to worry too much about money - tick. Respect of my peers - tick. What else is there to do?##

I find myself dreaming of packing in work, but then worrying about what I would do with my time.

I absolutely hate my head. I sometimes wish it would blow up and leave me alone.

I saw the doctor today. Just as I had suspected- anxiety takes the blame, and my ankle swelling gets pushed to the side.

I’ve got blood tests and another ECG in a few weeks, but I already know how that’s going to go. I had both only 7 months ago, and they came back normal.

The ECG is over half a minute or so in the morning. I don’t get my episodes in the morning, so that’ll no doubt be normal. I do ECG’s on my watch and I don’t have AF, so I already know that.

———

I normally accept what the doctor says. But for this I just can’t. And I’m tired and frustrated.

Anxiety isn’t getting ready to go to sleep at 2am having relaxed for hours before, and then suddenly having chest pain which is only relieved by lying down.

Anxiety isn’t palpitations right in the middle of something calming.

Anxiety isn’t shaking at nighttime when I’m simply moving my muscles.

Anxiety isn’t swollen ankles.

I’ve had anxiety for over 10 years. I get all those when I am actually anxious and my mind is racing, not when I’m relaxing. And my breathing techniques work with anxiety, they don’t with this.

But who am I to tell a medical professional that it’s not just anxiety? It’s the most logical explanation, given I have 0 risk factors for any cardiac problems and every test comes back fine.

I suppose I’ll go for the blood test and ECG and then it’ll come back clear, I wait a few months and then this all happens again. Though next time, I don’t think I’ll bother doing anything about it. It’s a waste of time and money.
