#but the fact is that i've had unmanagable period pain as long as i've had periods and a lot longer than my anxiety has been bad

[leofrith]

novel concept here, perhaps, but i think it would be super nice if the medical community in general started giving a shit about menstrual and other reproductive related pain beyond whether it affects someone's fertility or not. like someone please tell me why the only time my reproductive pain is taken seriously is when it relates to my ability to make a fucking baby, something i have absolutely zero interest in doing. why isn't the fact that i'm in pain reason enough to investigate further. why do i keep being recommended various forms of birth control as a blanket solution for my symptoms that nobody seems to care enough about to even attempt to investigate further. why does every concern i have about my pain get downplayed and swept aside in favour of reassurances about my fertility that i didn't ask for. why have i been running around in circles for more than ten years begging for someone to care enough about my pain to listen to me and do something about it. why.

#good afternoon!! i am mega pissed ❤️ #like i know WHY but. why. #anyway had an doctor appt this morning in which i was told that a lot of my pain is probably anxiety based which. lmao. #'its all in your head' basically #like i don't deny that i have anxiety and it's probably causing me all sorts of body issues #but the fact is that i've had unmanagable period pain as long as i've had periods and a lot longer than my anxiety has been bad #i'm so sick of this shit lmao #every time i go into this doctor's office is so goddamn unpleasant like she's talking about weight loss completely unsolicited #she's downplaying my concerns and i had to practically beg just to be referred for an ultrasound #i feel like im being gaslit every time i go for an appointment but i'm not about to look for another family doctor because there are none #anyway fuck you fuck this eat shit and die about it ❤️❤️ #ky posts text
