Dismissed and disbelieved when I needed help

When I first began experiencing symptoms of my rheumatic condition, I felt that the clinical staff, administrative team and management at this practice treated me poorly. On several occasions, I believed my symptoms were being dismissed as psychological rather than physical, and I was told I was too young to have certain conditions despite a family history of similar issues. I also felt judged when seeking pain management support. During one appointment when I presented with concerning new symptoms, I felt the clinician was unwilling to provide assistance and did not explain their reasoning. I left that visit very distressed and frightened. This experience prompted me to transfer to a different practice, which proved to be a significant positive change for my care. I now receive treatment for my condition that is effective and has made a meaningful difference to my wellbeing. I believe the experience at my previous practice had a considerable impact on my mental health at that time. I have found it difficult to move past how I was made to feel during those appointments.
