Hi Kim here, I think you are so right. I use to be very shy about my symptoms but now when I get a new Dr. I politely tell them that I am very honest about how I feel and my symptoms should not get dismissed. That they have no idea what turmoil my body is going through and that I would like the common curtesy of respect and to listen to me. For me as long as I say it with respect and I am polite they cannot get mad at me. I like my dr’s at the Mayo because even though my symptoms my not fit my disease they do not dismiss me are willing to find out why this is going on. So please do not ever stop being an advocate on you health you will find a honest and caring doctor who will listen. 🤞🤞
