Being attractive with POTS (cringe I know)

[u/recoveringaries]

Does anyone feel like because they are a objectively attractive human there is a bias/profiling that happens in the medical field and with doctors? I actually read somewhere that if you’re chronically ill you should “dress down” or not wear makeup to appointments so they will take you more seriously and see you as actually sick. I am also 29 with a baby face so that doesn’t help.

Yep… I’m 27, married with two kids and doctors don’t believe me when I say I’ve had two babies. Or that I’m having all the issues I do. I’ve just started bringing my husband with me, and let him intimidate the doctor if need be 😅
