I hate feeling so dismissed and disbelieved! I’m being treated by a specialist for Lupus and RA, yet after a visit, she feels the need to write notes like this in my chart.., “I feel her symptoms are all central sensitization or mostly central sensitization. The fact that she got better in multiple areas with HCQ suggest placebo effect.” …am I wrong for feeling angered by this??

      I'd probably feel the same way. It's incredibly frustrating when people, especially doctors, dismiss how we feel. A lot of times they don't know what it's like to feel the way we do day after day. If you feel like your doctor is dismissive and not listening to you, you might want to consider finding another doctor. Good luck!

        @Raquel226 thank you. Yes I’ve been seeking a second opinion.
