Frustrated with Doctors and Medical Care

I'm so tired of Drs just sending me in circles and not actually doing anything except charge me money. I'm so tired of feeling sick all the time and constantly being in pain and not being able to get help

      @missbo I had a doctor wait so long to adress my malnutrition that after my feeding tube was finally placed, I had to be in the hospital for refeeding syndrome (which only happens when you’re underweight and very malnourished and then start getting food again). Because of my age and gender (19 year old female), he assumed that my weight loss was an eating disorder, not the known complication of my chronic illness that it is. It sucks.

      I just posted similar, just throw meds at you...that either don't work or have terrible side effects! Or don't listen to you till it's too late and the problem gets worse! Infuriating 😡
