dude your comment on that post abt ignoring medical issues sounds like a brain tumor
yeah <3
#okay so Iām going to ramble abt medical issues + fatphobia in the tags#so pls be warned and ignore this post if that could be upsetting to you#I donāt remember the specific post this is referring to#but iām assuming i replied to some post abt how fatphobia leads to ppl ignoring their health issues to avoid the#condescending humiliating and flat out abusive manner we are treated#and i assume i mentioned the fact that i was diagnosed w/ something called a pseudotumor when i was ~13#and as I got older and gained weight the doctors that iād had when i was Not Fat started treating me increasingly horribly#n after a particularly horrible experience i just stopped going to the doctor entirely.#like i suffer from chronic headaches and may very well lose my eyesight bc of this condition#but it is no longer worth going to the doctor for me. like iāve decided iād rather just deal with it than deal with#being perscribed weight loss over and over for a condition i was diagnosed with when i was not fat#and being treated like i was stupid or being accused of uncooperativeness or lying bc i struggled to lose weight#it was surreal to literally witness how differently fat ppl are treated by medical professionals as someone who has not always been fat#like literally the same doctors i had throughout my childhood! and the difference was night and day. truly an enlightening experience#like when i was first diagnosed the cause was declared āideopathicā aka āwe donāt know why this is happening to you it just isā#and i was given medication#i had multiple lumbar punctures to decrease the swelling in my brain#and my doctors were all very kind and concerned and i felt safe#when i gained weight years after the initial diagnosis they stopped saying that the cause was āideopathicā and said i had the conditionā#because i was fat#i was perscribed weight loss and spent months in the gym + dieting and i actually gained weight. likely due to stress + putting on muscle#so my childhood doctor who was once so kind and understanding accused me of lying about trying to lose weight#i was treated like i must have been too stupid to understand how serious my condition was so i just ādidnāt put in the effortā#they spoke to me like i was 5 yrs old and didnāt understand that brain swelling is bad and that i could lose my eyesight#bc they couldnāt comprehend me struggling to lose weight as being anything but stupidity + laziness#anyway my dr pointed to the door and said āif you arent going to cooperate then get outā#so i did! and i never went back! teehee :)#and i will probably lose my eyesight eventually which is soooo cool but like. Iām not going through that again thanks#bc Iām a lazy fatty i guess lmao <333#but anyway itās technically not a tumor it just behaves like one. like i donāt have cancer
