The medical community is like “ have you tried not having this genetic condition? “ I’m like “ wow I did not think of that”

I used to walk A LOT everyday, climbing at least 4 flights of stairs everyday, two times per day. i always had joint pain, even when I was a child, it was "growing pains". Then it was "you have to exercice more" even if I was doing an equivalent of a small hike everyday. Then it was "you're just anxious".
I gained some weight because of medications, the joint pain was still there "Oh but you're too heavy that's why" then I lost 30kilos in half a year, which was abnormal but "your joint pain is because of anxiety and because you don't eat enough, we'll see how sertraline helps you" 🧍
LIKE ????? I have been like that since I was born, I was active when I was younger and I would take DAYS to recover from it. Something IS wrong. But guess what, I have gained some weight (again, at a fast rate, because of meds and stress). I am 100% sure that if I go to the doctor to ask again for help with my pain ? "Oh but you're too fat" 💀

Me (Diagnosed with HSD): My joints hurt. I think I need a physio. Drs: Yoir BMI is too high, lose weight exercise Me: I exercised and my joints are constantly in pain Drs: Stop exercising Me: Okay (stops exercising) Drs: you’re gaining weight again. Me: You told me less exercise so my joints don’t get worse. Dr: Yeah, that’s weight health. Not joint health

I watched a video of a sick horse, the vets and specialists SPOKE to each other and Co-ordinated care for the horse because each thing they treated revealed another issue. they worked for weeks and figured it out did scans and tests...I never thought I would be jealous of a horse's healthcare 🤣

yep. doc told me to eat red meat because iron is so low all the time then told me your ldl cholesterol looks like it may be creeping up so cut red meat and eat fish....I hate fish and you put me on red meat because of low iron. (I also cook in cast iron and take a high quality supplement and have cut almost all of my tea out since "it bonds with iron and keeps in from absorbing"...I cant win. so now I take fish oil too.

This is me, I have joint problems and exercise causes me so much pain so I get told not to, then get told I need to because I'm not strong and it's good for my mental health, I hate the mind games plus I actually don't like going outside anyway 😂

when I was younger doctors fixated on me possibly having diabetes because I'm fat. 10 years of blood tests, no diabetes. They missed the hypothyroidism, adenomyosis, possible PCOS, and signs of hypermobility.
