Every woman is reading this right now going โ€œsounds about right.โ€

@Ashedryden
I feel like we should start a hashtag for it, like:
#ItWasntAnxiety and then you add what it ended up being for you.
For me, #ItWasntAnxiety it was POTS and May-Thurner Syndrome.
@3TomatoesShort @Ashedryden #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was rheumatoid arthritis, #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was Hashimoto's Thyroidism, #ItWasn'tAnxiety it was basal cell carcinoma (prolly just a single small spot of anxiety-induced psoriasis...that doesn't itch...or hurt...because prolly the anxiety is preventing you from feeling it...oh but that other pain? That pain is all in your head, eat less western food)

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ That's awful, I'm sorry you didn't get proper healthcare

@3TomatoesShort @Ashedryden Well I did in the end because a few people eventually had the sense to order tests. But.

Oh, I just remembered the one where an ectopic pregnancy was homesickness and it took 2+ months to get a pregnancy test. Fun times. Amazing how brains bury that stuff.
