Because of this age bias with doctors I feel like I’m never going to get an answer as to what’s going on until it’s too late God forbid. I just had a diagnosis removed solely because of my age. That’s it. That’s all. My age. And I verified this with my GP. So annoying!

      This has happened to me CONSTANTLY. It drives me absolutely crazy. What I’ve learned is you have to get almost belligerent about what you’re experiencing, make it abundantly clear that you’re not okay, and seek help through every avenue. Sometimes it means seeing tons of specialists in different field AND getting second opinions. It’s absurd that our medical system makes us do this, but it’s the only thing I’ve found effective. Even worse when you’re female when everything is just “stress.”
