Currently not excited for the future. For the past couple months I worked under the assumption that my symptoms (LOW energy/sleep, HIGH fatigue, and sh1t appetite) were all caused by low iron levels. Got my ferritin results back today and my number is at 27. Back in April it was 30 and last October it was like 6.7? So this number is a lot higher than back last year, but I can barely stand without my muscles shaking! I feel like my PCP doesn't take these issues seriously in part because I'm not fvcking freaking out when I meet with her. I'm just discouraged by how us with disabilities have to navigate treatment. We basically have to be the ones to find our diagnosis and hope the doctors care, and if we have no clue what we have, the doctors DEFINITELY don't know.... ugh

      I’m sorry you have to go through that! It’s unfortunate to have doctors and the medical system to not take you seriously. It sucks that the patient has to advocate for themselves when it’s the providers job to provide. Keep fighting I wish you luck 💕
