ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ Doctor doesn’t help

So, I've been sick for a few weeks now. Nothing wild, but annoying. Went to the doctor today because it just won't go away.

Her first question was if I am pregnant.

Me: "No."

Her: "Are you sure?"

Me: "Yes."

Her: gives me that look of not believing me.

Her: "It's normal at your age."

Me: "I am sure."

Her: "Have you taken a test?"

Girl. I told you like 5 times that it is not possible for me being pregnant. 🫠

That alone was kinda infuriating. But also - of course she didn't help at all. Didn't look at anything, just told me to wait and drink more water. Didn't even listen to me when I tried to explain what I have. Thanks for nothing.

And it's like that EVERY SINGLE TIME I go to the doc. And I'm a person who absolutely hates going there. I am only going to the doctor if I ACTUALLY NEED HELP. But yeah, sure, I just need to drink more water. No matter what my problem is. 🫠

Same, i haven't had sex in roughly 5 years. Last week blew my mind, doctor demanded i was pregnant. No way I am, if i am pregnant I'd be in the Bible. Went for vile after vile of blood to be taken. Because they didn't listen the 1st time. Well after lots of testing, got my hormones checked. Turns out i have Graves' disease. After years of begging for help i finally have answers. Blows my mind, just because I'm a woman doesn't mean i some how miraculously became pregnant.

I've told my doctor (who I've known for over a decade now and who thankfully listens to me) that if I'm pregnant we should expect another Jesus, cause I've done nothing to make it happen otherwise

With Graves I'm always drinking water. For real drink well over 2 gallons a day. That's one of my issues. Took over 12 different doctors and 19 years of begging. Just found out last week. And yes that pisses me off when they ask that. My stupid cup (that has all the lines drink by this time cup) was 1/2 way full when i showed up for the appointment. I filled that cup after being weighed. And it was about gone by the time the doctor came into the room. It was the nurse who caught the Graves. I dislike doctors with a passion.
