"She was being hysterical"

The doctor probably. 

Seriously though, women have a hard fucking time getting doctors to believe them. My mother fought for a decade to finally get her diagnostic. I have lady friends that suffered years before finally getting their endometriosis diagnosis.

Me? I walk in and say "I have these symptoms. I think I have this" and i walk out with my prescription or reference. 

It's crazy

    Fucking crazy the amount of times I had to vouch for my girlfriend like an 1800's husband taking their wife to the doctor like it's a pet going to the vet.

    Doctors have called her everything from a drug addict, to a whore (for asking for the morning after pill, for the first time in her life mind you) to a compulsive liar. Her path to getting her ADHD diagnosis was much more painful than mine.
