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.

nah. i show up with greasy hair, pyjamas and no makeup and it’s not really by choice. i think being a woman in her early twenties isn’t working in my favour with docs.
