Oh, I hope you have a good doctor and treatments. VA abandoned me and now I'm permanently disabled, struggling for any activity, which I can reach with procedures and medications. It's a 30 year old high-impact horse accident. My spine is bone on bone. I begged to be stabilized when there was considerable disc material still there. They refused and decided to not acknowledge it as a mechanical problem and instead wanted to treat it as mental health. The mri said a different story. Best wishes for a full recovery.
I'm so very sorry, Madison Native. I get riled up every time I hear about injuries ascribed to mental health when there's a clear physical cause. It's not all in your head! Sending you thoughts of strength. Take care.
Thank you, kindly, Michele. 8 greatly appreciate that validation. People who've experienced medical gaslighting should go to their local library and request "Medical Gaslighting: How to Get the Care You Deserve in a System that Makes You Fight For Your Life," by Ilana Jacqueline. It's as if the author interviewed me for this book. I've filed complaints with the state licensing board.
