Ugh DRS

[KNW11]

Does anyone else feel like the doctors just don’t listen to you? The blame everything that is wrong with you on Anxiety. Granted a lot of it can come from anxiety, but now the issues I do have I feel as though they just label it anxiety and call it a day. I’m fed up. I’m gonna go off.

Hello

Yes I know exactly what you mean and agree 100%

I get this so much and yes I agree a lot can be anxiety but nevertheless just because we have anxiety does not mean we cannot genuinely be ill as well sometimes

I have found I have to be assertive now and if I do feel something is wrong I tell them stop thinking or putting it down to anxiety and if a patient that did not have anxiety was complaining like I am how they felt , do the same and get me checked out !

Maybe try telling them something similar and hope it works

Take Care x

I get this from my Doctors too which does not help your peace of mind, one of my Doctors has also got what seems like a stock answer of 'well you're old now so you need to accept it'

Hello

I agree

When I was ill last year 2 weeks I was crying down the phone telling them the pain I was in how I could not breath to be told I had a virus and even when I told them no this is way much more than that the second week when I was saying you need to be getting some bloods or something no it is a virus making me feel they thought I was over reacting due to anxiety and then what happened , ended up in resuscitation with them fighting for my life !

We should at least be given the same treatments they would give people without anxiety and just because we maybe getting older I would have thought if we are complaining that would be even more reason to get us checked out !

Over the years this has made me feel very angry !

I hope you are holding up through this dreadful time and are keeping well x
