'The Doctor Didn't Believe My Symptoms. But I Was Right' Read more:

After my diagnosis, I was told that my condition would heal itself, and could take anywhere between six months to ten years.

Anna is pictured with her mother, Deborah, who has advocated for her daughter to receive proper treatment.Eventually—with the help of my mom—I was able to push them into letting me have treatment to help ease the pain of my herniated disc, and when that failed, I underwent spinal surgery in 2011. Five minutes into my first appointment with that doctor I suspected his treatment of me was due to bias about my age and ethnicity. When you're used to microaggressions, you're very good at picking them up in someone's words and body language.

I don't know what she said, but she demanded these doctors treat me and when they came back in they finally offered me morphine, which worked to ease my pain instantly. My health was good for a long while, but when the pandemic started in 2020, my husband and I were living in a very small apartment and there wasn't really anywhere to go. I was lying down a lot, doing my work from my computer constantly and not really getting much exercise.

I have come across stories of people who had what are known as brain zaps while coming off certain SSRIs, which is something I wish I was told before I took that first pill, because it might have impacted whether I was willing to do so.The physical side of it is constant, and I think people around you develop empathy fatigue; they're sympathetic at first, but eventually—when all you do is complain that you're in pain—it can become harder to handle.
