I've noticed that doctors are more harsh until I start looking upset. I'm naturally very stoney faced when it comes to pain. Only my family can really tell. I will be thinking 'omg I'm going to die but none of that will show on my face'. I basically ignored my period pain until I got a 5cm complex cysts and a endometrioma on the same ovary. I'm going to be used to it somewhat. I noticed at my most recent appointment when I expressed fear over trying a new med without a back up that could at least knock me out. I felt like I was being treated as a drug seeker. It wasn't until I started to tear up and say I didn't care what I got but I'd ended up in urgent care multiple time after no sleep for 3 days and was scared that would happen again. Suddenly (and after reviewing my medical history again) she was a lot more sympathetic. She even agreed to give me other meds immediately should the new ones not work. It seems like I need to cry to get someone who eill listen at first   submitted by   /u/Nyxie872 [link]   [comments]
