Why do women keep getting medically gaslit???

“It’s just stress” is not medical advice.

“You’re too young” is not medical advice.

“Come back if it gets worse” is not medical advice.

“It’s all in your head” is not medical advice.

“You just have a low pain tolerance” is not medical advice.

“Periods are supposed to be painful” is not medical advice.

“Your labs are normal, so you’re fine” is not medical advice.

“If you focused less on your pain, you would feel better” is not medical advice.

What is something you have been told that was not a diagnosis, but ended up delaying one?
