My previous misdiagnosis put me on meds that hid my symptoms and covid had my doctor's office telling us that if we had no concerns, to not come in. By the time my symptoms began to show even with the meds, my heart was the size of a football (gridiron football, not association football) and required a transplant. Any increased effort made me nearly pass out.
I get where you're coming from, MOST OF THE TIME diet and exercise are better than not. My circumstances were pretty atypical too, but lets not act like telling anyone that walks into a hospital just needs to jog their ailments away is the way to go. A lot of doctors would do well to try just a little harder, it likely would have saved me from needing to wait for another person to die to be able to continue to live.
I'm very sorry that happened to you. My problem was with your phrasing. As I'm sure you know: eating better, working out, and sleeping more did not make your condition worse. I interpreted that as what you claimed.
You were a victim of malpractice and negligence, not living a more healthy life.
Yeah, I know that. I just bristle at the thought of being told to lose weight instead of actually getting the help I needed. I don't ACTUALLY think that stuff made me worse off. It was mostly the look on the doctor's face when I told him I WAS working out and eating better, and he laughed in my face because I was gaining weight. Too bad I was retaining fluids... There's a lot more to the story, but I don't care to get into it.
Can you tell I'm a bit salty? Sorry for the trauma dump.
I cannot even fathom what you've been through. There is no need to apologize.
If you want to share more, I'll listen.
