I once had neuroimmuneologist I waited multiple months and traveled hours to see tell me “We see a lot of women your age with a medical history of anxiety have these issues” and then he refused to run any additional tests and referred me to an online FND clinic. When I told him my other doctor ALREADY RULLED IT OUT- he insinuated that he thinks that “at least 30% of doctors think something is a rare disease when it’s actually FND”- which is a nonsense statistic not backed by any data. 💀💀💀
