So I go to the doctor with documentation and data (self-administered NASA Lean Test, showing textbook POTS), and also same data when tested during the appointment, yet got sent away with nothing.

The doctor said he acknowledged that the physiology and symptoms matched, and that I'm clearly being affected by it daily, but he wouldn't refer me anywhere, because "there's no point, since there's no treatment within the Danish system", which is a straight up lie.

So no referral to tilt table test, no cardiology, no neurology. Nothing... This is the 2nd time I've tried raising this issue - which at this point is causing me to have to lay down for hours a day, to recover - and both times I've been rejected (and both times by a man).

I'm at a loss at this point. I can keep doctor hopping, to try and find someone who will actually help me, but every time I switch, it counts against me.

Posting this in english, because the video is in english.

The video is about pychologisation of ME/CFS and "Medically Unexplained Symptoms" in the context of PAIS, the mentality behind it and the systemic, psychological and medical violence that it entails.

Today is a bad day.

I went in to get med refills, but I couldn't afford them because the fucking free doctor prescribed them wrong. So I haven't had my meds for a week. Went to get the correct ones today, and they were $40.

Awesome. So I had to do a walk in I didn't mean to do. Got the meds prescribed for the third fucking time, and I was so stressed out I left without ever picking them up.

Went back to pick up my meds, was going to celebrate with a vape. Vape mod is missing. I look for it everywhere. It's gone. I lost it somewhere in all the stress of trying to save $40.

This is the poverty tax. To save $40, I lost $80. It is the snake that eats itself.

Also I have a second job interview next week. Unfortunately I also have agoraphobia, and my vape was my safety signal.

I'm freaking out and I need to replace it now. I will do anything to replace it. But to prevent myself from engaging in desperate, self-destructive acts, I'm going to have to require myself to do nothing.

I'm so fucked. I was getting $100 from a friend soon and none of it matters because I can never get ahead and begging for scraps kills my fucking soul.

So I'm begging. Because a soul can't live without a body, and I've been a body without a soul long enough.

No GFM. This is an emergency. If I have to wait, I might as well go inpatient and fuck both job interviews.

P.S. Oh and next week I'll need new Adderall. So this is all hell. I get $20, it's gone. Beg for more. If you have anything, please spare me more hell. I am so close, but I'm so tired too. I can't take much more of this. At this point I feel like I'd lose less self esteem finding people to fuck me for money on Craigslist.

"Food was denied if I didn’t walk to the dining room for a meal. This feat was often beyond me and I recall some of the nurses simply stepping over me after I fell to the floor." Thanks
