Two people discuss the frustration of being told your lab results are normal while you're still sick. Doctors dismiss patients with generic advice like exercise harder or eat less, which can push them further into chaos instead of helping.
Right, Ashley? Yeah, right. And it is so painstakingly hard for me when I'm somewhere or I'm in a group text and someone sends that they went to the doctor and they have X, Y, and Z wrong with them. And they literally are like, my labs are normal, so everything must be okay. And I have to, like, bite my tongue because I just feel sorry for them that they're just being so dismissed. And they're like, exercise harder, eat less. And that's just not gonna get them where they need to go.
Yeah. It's just gonna drive them further into chaos.
Right? Yes, it is. Yeah. That's exactly what it's doing.
