It’s ridiculous that doctors see female health problems as just “female problems” and not real concerns

The entire time they were here (as far as I can recall, at least) and in the ER itself, it was insisted repeatedly that what I was experiencing was just an anxiety attack, just an anxiety attack. Do I have a history of anxiety? Clearly I’m *not* having an allergic reaction, even though my family has a history of Penicillin-based allergies! It must just be a woman having a “fit”.

It’s a bit hard to insist that, no, I know what an anxiety attack is because I have experienced plenty before and this is *not* one when you’re so out of it that the only thing you can open your mouth up for is to puke half your guts out, but I did. So did my mom, much more vocally, and *finally* hours later we got the nurse practitioner to listen to us.

I was tested to see if I have a Penicillin allergy, and guess what? I do.

You call me sunshine,

Yet the brightest star I see here is You.
