Great post! Thank you for sharing your story, and sorry you had to go through that. It is great that someone finally figured it out, and sad that no one else had. People need to advocate for themselves more with doctors. Sure they have all the medical training, but we ourselves have all the hands on training with our own bodies. They need to listen to us more, and if they don't we need to push back or find someone else who will listen and keep digging till they figure it out.

Thank you. Like anyone, i suppose they get lazy in their jobs and look for the low hanging fruit. But sorry, doctors, you don’t get that luxury. Life is too precious. I find it discriminatory. If i had a persistent cough that wouldn’t go away, or chronic pain, my guess is they would have looked harder for a solution. Weight is an easy thing for us to make assumptions.
