If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.” But after my appointment with Carolina Functional Neurology Center, I finally felt heard. They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget. At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣 The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses. So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve. You know your body better than anyone else. And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️ medicalgaslighting netflixdocumentary potsawareness chronicillnessawareness medicaltrauma
