Tell TODAY SHOW: Have medical professionals ever dismissed your symptoms?

[Mary]

This is for women only: https://www.today.com/health/tell-t...ssionals-ever-dismissed-your-symptoms-t150310

It's National Women's Health Week (who even knew there was such a thing!)

I received notice of this from an OMF email - I can't copy a link to it here, but it said:

Tell Your Story to The TODAY Show - It's National Women's Health Week



Calling all women with ME/CFS whose illness has been dismissed by their doctors!



Now is the time to contact The Today Show. The Today Show is asking women to submit their stories (during Women's Health Week - May 13-18) about having their health concerns dismissed by their doctor. Let's tell them how widespread of a problem this is for ME/CFS patients. Help us raise awareness about the serious impact ME/CFS has had on your life.



Visit this link and tell your story today: https://www.today.com/health/tell-today-have-medical-professionals-ever-dismissed-your-symptoms-t150310.



Help us raise awareness about the serious impact ME/CFS has had on your life. The more stories we share, the more you can help OMF raise awareness and funds to find a cure for ME/CFS.

This will definitely help to raise awareness for ME/CFS @Mary Thank you!
I wouldn't be surprised if almost all women on this board (and men too, though this of course is about womens' health) have met with some level of dismissal from medical professionals.
I didn't quite enter that territory because I backed off before it got to that but I could see it coming.

Did anyone have trouble with the Form? (I did, good at that here). so I don't think it worked in my case, as it wouldn't allow me to enter my birthdate.

Thanks @Wolfcub, I sure hope so! I'm going to tag @YippeeKi YOW !! here because she did a thread recently on how women are treated differently by the medical profession so might be interested in this --

Did you hit the little down arrows? You don't actually type in your birthday but rather select the year, month and day from their drop down menus.
