Medical Gaslighting

Saw this video done by DINET sure hits home for me. 

This really does hit home for me. I have dealt with this for years. I have had symptoms dismissed or not believed from nurses as well as doctors. The one that almost cost me a half of brain was when some plaque in my carotid ruptured. RN's dismissed it as stress and my DR wanted to put on antidepressants and the Cardiologist just upped my meds. 3/4 of a year later i demanded a MRA. Guess what was found. fast forward after numerous syncope episodes trips to the ER other real health issues that were discovered and working with UW Health. The same folks that thought i was nuts are now acknowledging my symptoms. My Primary DR finally said i was unique and is following my progress at UW.
