I can't get a doctor to listen to me about my fatigue. I keep getting told it's my depression or it's because it's winter. I've been experiencing fatigue for 11 months now and it's impacted my work a lot. Can anyone help with how to get a doctor to actually pay attention to me?
One suggestion is to change doctors and seek a second, third, or even fourth opinion until you find a doctor who listens to your concerns. Be assertive about your experiences, keep a running note of symptoms, and consider bringing someone with you to appointments who can help advocate for you. Asking for specific tests may also show that you've done research and should be taken seriously.
