And how am I the difficult person when I tell a doctor that I have excruciating pain everywhere, they do some tests, the tests show that I'm "fine", and the doctor gets angry at me? Sounds like the doctor is the difficult person in this scenario. They assume that they are so correct that it justifies treating me like shit. Or maybe it's my illness that is difficult and the doctors are taking that personally and taking it out on me? This has happened to me over and over again and the interactions were always pleasant until tests came back negative. If I was the problem then wouldn't the interaction go poorly from the start? If a doctor can't help but stereotype people, then they are not a good candidate for the job and should be fired. I don't think there is a single industry in this country besides the healthcare industry that says they just can't help but stereotype people.
I can't even get testing done without a doctor's approval. It's a racket.
It's not a mental illness. And there are millions of sick people getting together online talking about the exact same experiences that I've had.
