Doctor Dismisses My Fatigue as Weight Problem

I have been heavy my whole life and never in pain before? We should report them.

I totally understand same here first time I say rheumatologist he said lose weight maybe gastric bypass was in the room less then a minute no tests ordered or anything.

That happened to me. It ended up being on pregabalin was the reason for my weight gain. Since coming off it I've lost 18lbs 😯

Doctors will pin anything and everything on weight. I was told my neurological condition I was diagnosed with at 7 would get better if I shed some pounds because he didn't want to give me medication to help me manage my tics Doctors are incredibly lazy when they see a patient in a bigger body. I was told if I walked 2 miles a day that my chronic pain would go away. Since that conversation, I've lost roughly 20lbs due to changes in medication, and I'm in much higher levels of pain and have now moved to using a mobility aid because my condition is degrading my mobility Fatphobic doctors have no idea what they're doing and risk lives because of their dismissal of patient pain and concerns. I'm really sorry you have to go through this, it's so unfair that smaller people get better medical care and attention just because of the way they look. You don't deserve this mistreatment
