At the pain clinic today I feel I wasn't taken seriously as my conditions dismissed as psychological. I have been diagnosed with and struggle with multiple conditions for many years and they were handwaved away, with the assessor not knowing details about them. For instance EDS was dismissed multiple times as just being a bit bendy. EDS is a multi systemic disorder that can be disabling and cause extreme pain. It can effect your whole body, as mine does, from digestion to blood disorders to respiratory problems. Being dismissed for this, as well as my dystaunomia being handwaved as mostly anxiety is ridiculous especially by professionals. Fibromyalgia and ME are proven physiological disorders. I feel like I was not heard and understood and was made to feel small and like a nuisance.
