Interesting and very true article on how the medical establishment frequently dismisses and dehumanizes women.

good article, deserves a lot of thought. Try to deal with this problem by a lot of self help. Go to the medical profession for diagnosis and guidance, then do as much research for oneself , use complimentary treatment as much as possible, and if on actually meets a sympathetic and helpful Dr or consultant treat him/her with as much reverence as possible. Good luck to everyone with our condition.

I do exactly the same as you do Nanette!

Due to many many bad experiences with many many doctors I now found at least a brilliant gyno and he is a keeper!

Still looking for a brilliant rheumy and internal medicine doctor though,

Good luck with your battle my dear!
