Shannon, you'd have a lot to do to reply to your comments, I never expect that.
Please keep writing on all the bullshit in the medical (and other) establishments. All your stupid experiences in the doctors' offices ring so true to me. I'm educated, have insurance, appear healthy...and still I'm treated like a dumb piece of shit who deserves no opinions and whose symptoms and preferences don't matter at all every time I walk into any doctors' office. How do non-educated, non-healthy, non-insured people get treated? I shudder to think.
Anyway. I am so proud of you for keeping on. How lucky Sophie is to have you. I just supported you a bit at Ko-FI and encourage everyone else reading you to do the same. Ko-Fi made it very easy!! I'm just sorry I couldn't give more. Good luck.
