So obviously you guys probably know what I'm going to say here. The idea that abdominal pain is psychosomatic is completely and totally ridiculous. It is NOT a garbage bag diagnosis and is a real thing! I have pictures of my insides with cysts and adhesions as large as tennis balls.
It is people like Dr. Drew who spread the idea that it's all in our heads, an idea I've had to work very hard to kick. An idea that has seriously harmed me and other women psychologically. This is part of the reason why the suicide rate for endo is SO HIGH.And not just endo, he also slammed many other diseases. IC, lupus, irritable bowel. It's almost funny now because all these communities have come together to hate on Dr. Drew and press for an apology.
The memes on imgur have begun!
I almost feel a little sorry for him. I mean, he was just being an idiot and it's come back now to bite him in the rear!
Anyway, thats my 2 cents.
