Hey guys! How do you handle doctors who don't respect you? I've gone through 7 different doctors to try and get help for my chronic pain, a majority of which don't believe or respect me. I've found a new one, which I'm scheduling an appointment for today, but it's so hard to be motivated to keep trying. How do you guys find motivation?

It is indeed frustrating, have you seen pain specialists? They are more oriented towards the subject.

I have not seen a pain specialist. It's just this past couple months I got my parents to believe me about my chronic pain. Have you seen a pain specialist? What do they do?
The best advice I’ve ever received was to document everything and bring any test results or doctor’s notes to each appointment. Even asking for medical releases helps, though that can cost money when they release the documents to you directly. Doctors seem to like “proof”, in my experience so use everything you can as ammunition to support yourself! ❤️
