Luna opened up about all her symptoms, trauma, and chronic pain… and the acupuncturist hit her with “your pain is spiritual.”

It’s one thing to be open-minded, but when you’re barely surviving, that kind of comment can sting.

Pain is real, whether it’s in the body, the spirit, or both. You deserve care that sees the whole you.

“You might be a hypochondriac!” 😑
“That isn’t pain, it’s just sensation!” 🙃
“We won’t treat your pain, or we might not know what’s causing it!” 🤡

Medical professionals, I’m begging you, make it make sense.

Luna, like so many of us, has dealt with every variation of medical gaslighting. Doctors dismissing pain, questioning reality, and prescribing a whole lot of nothing—while ordering tests that don’t even make sense. If you’ve ever had a doctor make you question your own body, you are not alone.
