Do you feel listened to during doctor's appointments?

Hey everyone,

How are you feeling today? 💛

Talking to doctors or specialists can feel like a challenge, especially when you’re dealing with chronic symptoms, invisible pain, or a complex diagnosis. Sometimes, it feels like you need to repeat yourself over and over just to be taken seriously. Other times, appointments are so rushed you barely get a word in.

💭 Let’s talk about it openly:

• Do you feel like your concerns are truly listened to during medical visits?
• Have you ever had to fight to get the right diagnosis, tests, or treatment?
• What do you do to make sure your voice is heard, any tips for preparing or speaking up without feeling brushed off?
