so i just got back home from my dr appointment and i legit started crying while there. i felt so misunderstood and he just told me stuff to buy and didn't care about my symtoms
if y'all didn't know i've been almost fainting a lot so i started taking iron pills two months ago and on top of that i keep losing patches of hair.
when i got to him he was like "so i'll get you an iron blood test" n i was like "but i've been on iron for two months now and i'm finally feeling ok the results would only should good anyway since i'm on iron pills??" and he was like i get what you mean but its better and i was like ??? O K
and then he was like "well since you're loosing hair generally all over ur head..." and i was like ??NO i'm not?? i'm loosing it in patches?? and he was like uh what
and then he went on about how he don't know anything about like .. skincare kind of stuff? and i was like why am i here
and then i was like "so i've been hearing about alopecia" and he was like "eeeh what is that" and then inspected my hair and told me no it's not alopecia cus i'm not loosing hair in patches LIKE WHAT THE FUCK I've been CLOSELY inspecting my hair every day for the past two months until i could get this fucking appointment it's fucking patches im not blind
so i asked him "since nothing is growin out of the patches, will the thing you're telling me to buy make them come off the "sleeping" phase??" and he was like "idk"
i'm so stressed. i've been waiting for this doctors visit for a month, i've been stressing every single day not been able to shower properly cus i keep losing hair and having mental breakdowns only to get told to buy shit by someone who has no idea what i'm talking about. tried calling in to talk to a doctor or anything and the line is closed for the day, i'm panicking
