Hear Katie's inspiring story of overcoming Gallbladder Disease.

- Опубліковано 15 сер 2021
- Katie fought back against gaslighting doctors who didn't believe a thin young woman could have gallbladder disease. After experiencing excruciating pain and nausea for several months, doctors refused to listen to her pleas to test her for gallbladder disease. This is despite the fact that her father had experienced similar symptoms years earlier before his gallbladder diagnosis. So she ate the fattiest food she could find and went to the emergency room where doctors finally tested her. Since having her gallbladder removed, she has been pain free. Throughout her ordeal doctor kept telling her she would get better if she simply relaxed-something often said to young women.
Also thank you for sharing your story, your re telling had me quite captivated, your calmness made me feel more at ease as I sit here with the same symptoms, the heart attack symptoms are so real for me too. One time I had also had to tell the er that i was on the verge of a heart attack and they whipped me Straight in. But the self trial and error of things is so disheartening that we have to do these inquiries on ourselves first, just to be heard
It's so awful that doctors keep gaslighting us and we have to figure everything out ourselves. But unfortunately, it seems we have to-dont give up-keep trying to figure it out! Katie is definitely an inspiration having to advocate for herself at such extreme ways so young!
@@overcoming-togetherbyjayne3857 100% thanks for the reassurance ❤️❤️
New to this topic/video bt been to ER & GP several times. Everyone says anxiety. Heart & everything always checked out. Just last night went to ER for sudden loss of breath goin up stairs at work. Never happened before. Lately been suffering from right side pain under ribs and between my shoulder blades. Not one Dr has mentioned gallbladder. Kidneys tho. I will be mentioning this to my GP to have mine checked when they do the renal ultrasound
So sorry that you are going through this! sending positive thougths your way. If it is your gallbladder please keep us posted.
That is sad you have to get sick to go to the ER ..ugh these Doctors. So glad you did that and got the help you needed
such a good point about the power dynamic! so glad you figured out how to advocate for yourself.
Thanks Monica! And thanks for introducing me to Katie. You are both so impressive!
Gallbladder sludge is not easily picked up by doctors' standard tests.
It seems a lot of things are not picked up on standard doctors' tests-they need to start considering things that aren't able to be picked up-but they rely on their tests so much and believe if none of their tests have found anything then nothing is wrong-so frustrating!
Today’s doctors are overloaded with patients and few take any time to listen. You really have to do your own research, I could write a book on how many times I’ve been right and the doctors were wrong.
This host needs to let her guest share….it’s annoying
12:53 "so young and so healthy and fit". I also had some nasty gallbladder problems at 21. It reminds me that I also was very young..
Yes 21 is so young to go through this-I hope you are feeling well now!
I had gallbladder sludge and into my bile duct. It took me 15 months to have my gallbladder removed and the bile ducts cleaned out. Nobody should have to suffer that long. I’m still having some pain in my back right side. Two weeks in recovery, I hope it will subside soon. Take good care Everyone!!❤️🩹
That sounds miserable! So sorry you had to go through that-sending healing thoughts your way
Most doctors treat us all like that, it's not a woman vs man thing.
I pretty much agree with you. Years ago, medical gaslighting was more likely to happen to women. But these days, when doctors spend such limited time with us, it's happening to everyone. The system seems completely broken to me.
Women get gallstones more than men... (hormones)
interesting, I didnt know that! but it makes sense
From estrogen.
