I’m really struggling to get my doctor listen to me, let alone help me. I’ve been laughed at, dismissed, patronised and completely ignored. How do you get a medical professional to actually take you seriously and listen without interrupting? I just get “you’re too young, that doesn’t happen,” like I don’t know what’s going on with my own body. I’m living in complete misery and the only treatment I’ve got is an oral contraceptive that I don’t need and doesn’t work.– Herri, London
