this is actually a very good documentary on the murder of jonbenet ramsey, it uses psychics (which i believe in, for my own reasons, believe in what you want), from various documentaries and things i’ve read about this case in the past, what they’re saying seems the most probable thing that happened (but the question is still, who???) i hope they solve this case in the future, r.i.p jonbenet

@theyhavethedumb on twitter took a video of The Doctors episode with Jenelle off their TV! Part 1 of 3
Thank you to @lifes-bleachable-moments for introducing me to this masterpiece!
This is how I got hooked on Shane Dawson. He’s all about that Farrah! He even had her on his podcast not long ago. I’d love for him to do more skits with teen mom
I want him to interview Jenelle
Somebody asked me to make this a while ago so here it is
Will Friedle is incredibly inspirational. As a sufferer of social anxiety, I am in awe of how Will has taken steps to get back in front of the camera. The fact that he finds so much comfort acting in the familiar Boy Meets World environment and with the cast makes me happy. Boy Meets World meant so much to me, and I think it meant a lot to Will, too.

Raise your hand if you started off as an overachiever and now you’re fighting off crippling anxiety and depression as you watch people catch up and surpass you while you watch your own grades slowly slip
being a female means needing to see 10 different doctors to get a proper diagnosis because they always think you’re exaggerating and/or lying
define proper diagnosis. I mean, does that just mean the diagnosis you want?
no :) it means going to 10 different doctors who disbelieved your symptoms until the 11th found cysts on your ovaries :) which may mean infertility :) sit on a cactus :)
I call bullshit
Of course you do. Like the first 10 doctors. 😒
I call bullshit on the story. If you think you have an issue you should see a specialist not just your PCP.
Like the 4 “specialists” I saw for the crippling numbness in my face and legs I had for over a year while they told me it was “stress”? When it was finally found that I had scars on my brain and spine? Those “specialists” we’re male neurologist who wouldn’t give me an MRI because “women stress too much”. Go fuck yourself.
MY SPINE WAS BROKEN FOR 2 YEARS BECAUSE MY DOCTORS TOLD ME I JUST HAD BAD CRAMPS AND REFUSED TO TAKE XRAYS. FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. WHEN WILL BOYS REALIZE THEIR EXPERIENCES ARENT STANDARD???? I ALSO LOVE THIS IDEA THAT YOU CAN JUST GO TO A SPECIALIST WHENEVER YOU WANT LOL IF OUR PCP DOESNT BELIEVE US WHEN WE TELL THEM OUR SYMPTOMS THEY ARENT GONNA REFER US TO A SPECIALIST YOU FUCKING MOLDY WALNUT
My parents began noticing something large in my throat, saw a specialist….Guess what? Told me to lose some weight..even though I wasn’t overweight. I would have my period for weeks at a time. Was told that it was teenage hormones and stress.
Two fucking years later I attempted suicide they ran a battery of tests as required and bam! They find out that I have untreated Hashimoto’s. The “thing” was a goiter. Possible symptoms of an untreated thyroid disease is the goiter, unexplained weight gain, and depression. All they had to do was test my blood, but they said young people don’t have thyroid problems. 😒

Ten years ago, my mother—who is a pretty tough cookie—started feeling both ridiculously wired, anxious, and incredibly emotional. Every doctor she saw told her she was going through early menopause, even though she was still menstruating. Her health declined to point where she was barely sleeping, losing weight, and crying constantly, which was a huge red flag because my mother never cries. Finally, she went to see another doctor 2.5 hours away who referred her to an endocrinologist. And what did the endocrinologist say? He diagnosed her with one of the most advanced cases of Grave’s Disease he had even seen, and said if she had gone just a few more months without being treated, she could have FUCKING DIED.
Also, it turned out that her thyroid levels had been moving out of the normal range in a progressive pattern for years, but nobody bothered to look at her past test results until after the diagnosis. They would just do a test, see that it was “in the normal range” and leave it at that. She could have caught it before she even had symptoms, instead of basically being accused of having hysteria.
i had a brain aneurysm/hemorrhage ten years ago, doctors still tell me im faking my disability BECAUSE YOU CAN TOTALLY FAKE LIMITED MOVEMENT OF THE LEFT SIDE
My sister had intercranial hypertension which was causing headaches, dizzy spells and loss of vision, and you know what the hospital told her? She was being a hysterical girl and making it up. A few weeks later she spent roughly a month in hospital and had several lumbar punctures to relieve her RECORD HIGH spinal pressure that was causing so much strain on her brain and optic nerves she was being sent blind.
Everytime I see this post (and it’s been a good 5/6 times), it has different stories and experiences of women who have been horribly mistreated by doctors and it just blows my mind that this is so big. It’s absolutely disgusting how terribly women are treated in the medical world and something needs to be done about that.
my friend lea had back pain, then pain in her legs and feet, and then numbness. despite seeing 7 different doctors over 2 years, by the time they found the cancer it was inoperable. chemo and radiation didn’t work. the cancer spread. she died and left behind a 5 year old daughter.
A few years ago I would go through spells where I literally could not stand on my own and I couldn’t get out of bed. I would be freezing and too weak to eat. I would keep having heart palpitations as well. I got up the money to go to a clinic and they told me it was just stress and to basically just work on chilling out. I saved up money for a few weeks to do this and I pretty much get a “chill out” from them. As time went on it got worse, most noticeably the heart palpitations were happening almost constantly. I went again to a different clinic and was told it was normal and that it was probably stress. They did no tests, and they told me it would “just go away”. Two weeks later I ended up collapsing going down some stairs, and at the hospital it was discovered that I had such severe anemia that my heart could barely keep up with trying to get enough oxygen to my body. I had developed left ventricular hypertrophy (my heart muscle is too big) and because of them ignoring me and dismissing me I’m at a much higher risk of heart attacks and stroke now.
I went to the doctor with severe intermittent pain in my upper right stomach area that was so bad I had to miss school. Despite the fact that my period has been on a regular 3 month cycle for years, and I still had two months left until my period, my doctor told me it was period related cramps and or indigestion. 2 months later I’m in the hospital getting my gallbladder removed. It was so obstructed that there was gangrene developing my my system.
So…everyone who’s given me shit for that one post (about medicine and equal treatment and shit) can just read this because I’m sick of defending my case.
i know this post is already long but here’s a pretty good article about how gender bias in medicine is quite literally killing women. it focuses a lot on heart attacks but it applies to all areas of medicine
Reblogging for all of this but also to point that female doctors are at fault too. Especially fat-phobic ones.
I’ve spent years at an unhealthy weight (I won’t go into the 10 years, 10 doctors, it took for them to realize that my lethargy and male-pattern hair growth, was not the result of my being overweight and ETHNICITY- trufax, a leading endocrinologist at NIH told me that I was overreacting to growing a thick mustache and sideburns, because “I’m Greek”, I should expect body hair, even though I barely had hair on my legs and arms- and was in fact, my fucking thyroid being a dick…okay, so I did go into it)
But after ten years of dealing with my thyroid, still gaining weight desipite being active and having a fairly good diet, I come to find out the both my gen practitioner and my gyno (female, with a past history of body dysmorphia)- who are pretty fat-phobic, knew I had a insulin resistance issue. They kept adjusting my thyroid medicine, putting me on metphormin (glucophafe- a medicine for diabetes) and telling me that I needed to “lose the weight, and stop eating fried food”.
And I’m like, “I’m running marathons, I do yoga, and I swim…I’m following weight watchers to a T!! And I’m not losing anything, I’m bloated, and I feel like shit- I literally go to bed afraid that I’m going to have a heart attack.” And again, “oh if you lose, weight. You’ll get better.”
That was it.
So after years of not seeing results, I went to a new thyroid Doctor, who had treated my aunt for her thyroid cancer.
Within the appointment we realized that
A) something wasn’t adding up, because my medication, activity, and my diet should be resulting in something. B) I was on the wrong make up of the thyroid medication. I needed more of one hormone than the other. C) I WAS SO INSULIN RESISTANT THAT I NEARLY BECAME TYPE 1 DIABETIC. TYPE 1- meaning my pancreas nearly shut down. AND MY GYNO OR MY GEN PRAC DID NOT TELL ME THE CONSEQUENCES OF ME BEING INSULIN RESISTANT.
They opted for the “oh you’re overweight? Not feeling well? Lose the weight” route. My original doctors pumped me full of meds, and told me that my weight was to blame for everything, instead of believing me when I told them that something internally was causing me to gain weight and not lose.
No person who as active as I am, seeing nutritionists, dieting since I was 13 (I’m 30, fyi), should have just been gaining weight like there was no tomorrow, like I was. Any doctor should have seen that something was not checking out, or that the answer was not, “just lose weight.”
But no, due to my fat-phobic doctors who saw me as “just another fat girl with excuses”, I spent my teen years and twenties, feeling like I was going to die (but thankfully, it allowed me to become extremely body positive- at 230 lbs I was prancing around butt naked at a Japanese onsen and not giving a flying fuck, because hey, I love my body- just wish it was healthy, and therefore others should see it too in all its glory).
Thankfully the new Thyroid Doctor,who actually agreed with me, ran the tests, adjusted my medications, got me on a diet that was conducive to my insulin resistance, and bam- 3 months later 40lbs are lost, and I am feeling NORMAL.
So ladies, this is a reminder to stand up for yourself. Be your own advocate in the doctors offices. If a doctor is not listening to you, if you feel that they are not doing their due diligence to you, their patient, find someone else. It sucks, but until doctors start listening to their female patients, we gotta keep on.
Strange TV Crushes:
Greg Brady (Barry Williams) - The Brady Bunch
I wasn’t even ALIVE when this show was on the air, but I went on a bit of a binge last winter. By the time I got to season 3 or so, I sort of went “damn…he’s kinda cute”.
I DON’T have a crush on Barry Williams (he’s older than my parents…), but Greg Brady will always be cute.
I’m strange…leave me alone…
GREG BRADY VOICES PRINCE ERIC?! WHY WAS I UNAWARE OF THIS UNTIL NOW.
Hey! So after wanting to fulfill my dream of making an icons page because colors are pretty, I finally decided to make icons out of some of the stills from ‘Girl Meets Money’ and ‘Girl Meets STEM’!
You can find 20+ icons on my new icons page.
