Doctors checked me out for various things and then sent me to a psychologist who declared I had “health anxiety” when I was developing adult-onset type 1 diabetes. I had been in pain for months, every day, and lost tons of weight, then turned it around with a very specific diet (coincidentally low carb) and they acted like I was just being paranoid about food. It’s maddening how some doctors, for one reason or another, disregard almost anything a patient says.
