“My doctor basically destroyed the last 4 years of my life. To deal with the passing of my cousin, I was put on SSRIs that gave me Pseudo Parkinson’s. I told my doctor repeatedly that the drugs were messing with my nervous system. Against his wishes, I quit cold turkey.”
“My last straw was when he misdiagnosed my numb hands. He told me it was all in my head. In Ontario, you need referrals for specialists, so in tears and desperation after two years of numbness I begged for a referral to an ortho.
Within a week I was diagnosed with needing an ulnar nerve transposition. I had surgery 11 weeks ago and can somewhat feel my hands again. These doctors are generalists, they have god complexes, and they know very little about women, who haven’t been properly studied. Research accordingly and advocate hard for yourself.”
