“Sometimes walls are there so we can lean on them and rest.”

Lately I have been hitting some walls and maybe it’s a sign to rest before fighting on. My body needs breaks and I give it those, why can’t I give myself a break mentally and in fighting the medical profession. A breather may be in order. Everyone out there feeling really tired, lean on that wall for a bit before you climb it. #JointHypermobilitySyndrome #hypermobileehlers-DanlosSyndrome(hEDS) #Lipoedema #Lipedema #PelvicCongestionSyndrome #LivingWithPOTS #Fibromyaliga #ChronicPain #BackPain #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #Bipolar2Disorder

Doctors who don’t “believe in labels” are quite possibly my least favourite kind of doctors. Especially when the reality is they aren’t treating my specific symptoms anyway. You are underestimating me when you tell me patients go to Google something and decide they’re going to die. I can promise you patients want to know what to expect. They want to research everything so they know, so their treatment can be the most beneficial to them. And also, don’t tell me that if I had ‘insert condition’ hear I’d have a specific look. I didn’t realise everyone was the same, sort of defeats your whole point against labels then doesn’t it? #HSD #HEDS #SLE #PelvicCongestionSyndrome #Lipoedema #HypothyroidismUnderactiveThyroidDisease #Bipolar2Disorder #LivingWithPOTS #ChronicPain #Migraine
