I’m thankful for the times a medical professional has explained to me that just because I have some strange symptom doesn’t mean I have some strange disease, BUT there are times that they may dismiss your concern and you just know that something is wrong. When that happens, speak up. Explain why you know these symptoms are different and how they are affecting you. Appreciate their expertise but you know your body and whether what you’re experiencing is not normal.
