Dismissed concerns for years before serious diagnosis

I have serious concerns about the care I received at this practice, having been a patient since childhood. For approximately two years, I repeatedly raised concerns about my child's mobility with the clinical team. After transferring to another practice and being referred for imaging, a significant neurological condition was identified. However, my child was not diagnosed until age seven, despite my observations suggesting concerns from around age three. Additionally, I experienced persistent headaches for roughly eight years while under the care of this practice. My contraception was adjusted on multiple occasions, but the underlying cause of my symptoms was never properly investigated. After relocating abroad and consulting with different healthcare providers, I struggled to recall the exact timeline of my symptoms. I subsequently reported experiencing migraines alongside hair loss and weight gain. Blood tests were performed and came back unremarkable. Some months later, I experienced a serious neurological event that prevented me from working. Within days, I was diagnosed with a significant brain condition requiring surgery. A biopsy later confirmed a serious diagnosis. I was thirty-two years old. My experience has taught me that it is crucial to advocate firmly for yourself when you believe something is genuinely wrong with your health, and not to accept dismissal of your concerns.
