Yup. Firstly I got misdiagnosed by a GP. Then I Called a friend to come get me and run me to A&E.
Increasing SOB over a week+, felt ghaslty. Couldn’t lie down, had taken to lying propped up on the sofa at night to aid breathing.
Now couldn’t manage a sentence.
Strong fam history of PEs.
I told Dr in A&E that it felt like there was a brick in my chest that I couldn’t breathe thru. He told me I was having a panic attack. My O2 sats were ok.
I’m a singer. Scuba diver. Play clarinet. Did syncro swimming.
So had lungs of steel. Something was compensating because I usually had excellent lung function and know how to use all of my lungs.
I told him I’d never had a panic attack in my life and wasn’t starting now.
He was obnoxious and stroppy. Def did the arterial blood gases even more brutally to make a point.
But his face when my X-rays went up and I said - that’s why I can’t breathe then.
He was stunned into silence and just stood there staring, turned pale.
I had v v severe pneumonia in my r lung and had no middle or bottom lobe function. Total white out.
I was so so ill. And all hell broke loose after that. People came running.
I’m so so damn tired of women being treated as hysterics. Not being heard.
I would’ve died if I hadn’t stood my ground.

This is one of the hardest things I've had to so far but hey people.
I am battling with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis stage 4 that recently has spread to the extent that I need a second corrective surgery soon.
I need your help to meet the costs of the procedure.

A powerful new visual of the famous Desmond Tutu quote, created by @Juliet_Young1: ‘We need to stop just pulling people out of the river. Some of us need to go upstream and find out why they are falling in’.

OUR FOOD RECOLLECTION COMES FROM THE WOMEN IN OUR LIVES: and we don't give then enough credit for it.

We rarely appreciate efficient people. Efficiency makes things seamless on the outside, while putting out many fires behind.
