It's NOT in Your Head: Surviving Medical GASLIGHTING Have you ever left a doctor's office with more questions than answers, feeling like you weren't heard, or worse, like you were crazy? You're not alone, and it's not in your head. This is the story of medical gaslighting, the silent epidemic where women's symptoms are dismissed, minimized, and blamed on their emotions. Join us as we expose the shocking history of healthcare bias, tracing a direct line from the archaic diagnosis of "female hysteria"—once blamed on a "wandering uterus"—to the modern-day dismissal of legitimate pain. We’re investigating why women with everything from autoimmune diseases to heart conditions are experiencing delayed diagnoses, and how this systemic failure is causing not just physical harm, but severe anxiety and healthcare PTSD. We'll also pull back the curtain on the multi-billion-dollar wellness industry. Is it a safe haven for women failed by traditional medicine, or a predatory system profiting from our pain with unproven promises? From crystals to cleanses, we’re asking the tough questions. This podcast is more than a discussion; it's a toolkit for patient advocacy. It’s for every woman who has ever been told her pain is "just stress." It’s time to stop second-guessing ourselves and start demanding the care we deserve. If you’re ready to reclaim your health story and fight back against a broken system, you’ve found your community. Follow us now to join the conversation, and leave a 5-star review if you believe it's time for change—it helps this vital message reach more women who need to hear it.

The hospital where the ambulance took me after my motorcycle accident 7 days ago finally just now got back to me with an Ortho referral early next Monday.

I missed the call because of the drugs I took after my ortho surgery today put me to sleep.

Sometimes I talk to people and am not sure if I have something to offer of much value. Every once in a while, I am told I do. This happened when talking to a podcast host who recorded. #autoimmunedisease#chronicillness#spoonie#igg4#womenshealth #beyourownadvocate

This drawing brought to by the three attempts it took to get the scans I needed when I KNEW something was wrong - and the fascinated look on the doctor’s face when they said, “Wow, that’s a lot of polyps - you must have been experiencing a ton of pain!”

Few things are more frustrating and nerve wracking than when you’re having pain and the tests the doctors run come back “unremarkable”. Off to go find out what other tests we can attempt to hopefully identify the issue. 😑😫 #beyourownadvocate
