Great Show
Can you make more shows? This is great. This general topic is so deeply needed for any woman who has sought out medical treatment. It seems like gaslighting is a common problem for so many. I was diagnosed w/ Ehlers Danlos Syndrome in my 40’s. Now I’m in my 50’s, ten years after diagnosis. I have completely given up on doctors. Best wishes to anyone with a chronic illness.
