Blame Anorexia!

It seems to be the first thing that people want to do when you have something go wrong. Common Cold? Blame Anorexia! Broke up with your partner? Blame Anorexia! Crashed your car? Blame Anorexia! /rant.

Thanks, Pixie. May I validate everything you just said...  I have had the exact experience with meds and my doctors' non-helpfulness-just-do-anothe­r-test syndrome. A side-effect of too many anti-inflammatory meds is anemia. Thank goodness I have insurance because one of the hospital tests cost 10 grand. Yes, always blaming the issue on the patient is like always blaming the girl's issue on monthly issues. Nonsense. Thank goodness your doctor came off her know-it-all pedestal.

@tommax26 Yes, I am so pleased my doc finally came through. Fingers crossed she stays on the ball for my follow-up appointments. Take care.

this is a very good point. Just because anorexia could be the cause of something does not mean that it is and that you don't deserve to search around and look for something that really is the problem.

@TheEmmyR Thanks for watching and commenting. It's so frustrating that people look for the most obvious thing and use it as a chance to blame or judge. xoxox

@PixieEleven:

I have a few choice neuronal action potentials for clinicians & loved ones who dismiss us. FTR, so fucking what if a problem IS AN-related?! Does this diminish the significance of our suffering? ED's are NOT a choice! This implication appalls me! I can forgive loved ones more easily; they aren't 'professionals'. It is unacceptable from docs though. If you don't know, LEARN-- & KNOW WHEN TO REFER! Agh!

@jaisyyyy I'm the same too with parents! It's like people use it for every excuse to be judgemental, and I'd just rather not deal with it. Take care.

@AnaGirlEmpath Thanks love.

@MichaelPaoli I LOVE this! Thank you for always being such a tremendous support. xoxox

Ah ha! So it *was your anorexia* that caused that problematic solar flare! I *knew* it! ;-)

Some people jump to the darnedest of conclusions.

Works much better to go by logic, reason, evidence, objective testing and results, etc. Usually much better to test/measure than guess - especially better than guessing incorrectly.

Generally best to set aside any preconceived biases or the like - they'll often lead one in the wrong direction.

OMG I have so much I would like to say on this topic! *adds to my "Video Responses to make RE: Pixie's Brilliant Videos" List!*

I am sorry about how you have been dismissed. Hell yes it hurts! *safe hugs* Much love to you, precious one. I feel you! Xoxox
