tempted to give up on getting a diagnosis for my chronic pain because rural healthcare is so shitty and dismissive and my past half-assed mental health diagnosis's basically have every doctor just telling me "maybe you're just anxious" 
and coincidentally every time I make an appointment, by the time it comes up it just happens to be a "good" day, physically. 
I'm also skeptical as to whether or not fibromyalgia is just a thing doctors tell women they have when they're sick of trying to figure it out.

I hate doctors for all the right reasons
how about you

It’s not just rural health care that sucks. Chronic pain in women is always dismissed like this. It took my mom decades to get anything close to an actual diagnosis.

I was on the phone with my WOKE ASS 75 YO GRANDMA lol and I was telling her how fibro mostly affects women and she goes, "yeah because men get a diagnosis and women get fibromyalgia" and I was like DAMN GRANDMA she's right tho.

What sucks the most tho is because this unbearable full body pain and fatigue most often (but not always) comes around my period, they have now dismissed it as yet another lady problem, despite the fact its debilitating and has literally lost me jobs

I'm convinced it's nerve related which no one seems to listen to.
I was cutting hot peppers for canning, and (duh) the capsaicin burned my hands, but the burning lasted for NINE SOLID HOURS until I started hallucinating, and fell asleep. My friend, who is a street medic at protests, even came over and treated my skin how she would someone who'd been pepper sprayed or tear gassed, and said she'd never seen anyone have pain linger like that, that it was impossible for there to still be capsaicin on my skin, and that my brain/nerves must be miscommunicating.

They've got me taking vitamin D supplements for six months before they'll entertain anything else because I tested as deficient - but ignored the fact that when I first went in about this nearly five years ago I actually had the highest vitamin D levels they'd ever seen at that clinic. 
like, yes I'm deficient but I was not when I first sought help
