Getting Doctors to Take Symptoms Seriously

How do you get doctors to take your symptoms seriously? I have a decent amount of health conditions and still whenever I have symptoms or a complaint I’m CONSTANTLY brushed off. Seeing a new pcp tomorrow bc the last one I had was garbage. It’s just been so rough having my quality of life consistently go downhill and no one doing anything.

I constantly run into the same thing. I was finally able to find a doctor who was willing to work with me, but it took a while. I helps to be very upfront and firm with them too. Only you know how your body feels.

I wish I knew because even down to my specialist is brushing me off too. I hope you find someone.
