If a patient is a woman it seems the first thing they ( mds) say is oh, you are depressed or it’s just anxiety. Then they might ask me too, how is your husband? How about listening to ME first since I’m the patient sitting here

I either have Long Covid or Fibromyalgia, worst symptoms being insomnia, fatigue, and severe muscle pain. My symptoms started 5 days after my first bout with Covid (I've had it twice). My PC Dr at the time wrote everything off as "anxiety" and prescribed an antidepressant. I took it for several months and then weaned myself off. I took my husband to one appt and he and the Dr talked about how they both thought my problems stemmed from depression. Since them a rheumatologist diagnosed me with Fibro. She wouldn't treat me, instead referred me to my PC Dr for prescriptions for meds, which I've read don't help much and have side effect and severe withdrawal issues. Now I'm seeing a functional medicine NP who has me on all kinds of supplements which don't seem to be helping much either, and are expensive. But I'm giving them a try.
