WEDNESDAY Cushing’s and health! How do you dres WEDNESDAY Cushing’s and health!

How do you dress for a doctor’s appointment? Is that even something you think about?

I never did until I was struggling to find an answer to my ever increasing, seemingly unrelated symptoms for years. I wanted doctors, nurses, PAs to take my complaints seriously, so how do you show that?

I was asked this question from an undiagnosed sufferer who suspected she might have Cushing’s. “Do I dress how I feel? Or do I dress so they don’t think I’m crazy?” Good question.

During my years with Cushing’s (undiagnosed) I always dressed nicely for my doctor’s visits. I chose the look that said, “I’m well educated and put together so you can trust I know what I’m talking about.” It didn’t work.

But I’ve talked to other sufferers that said they practically rolled out of bed and into the office, wanting the doctor to see the “reality” of how badly they felt. It didn’t work.

After seeing several medical professionals over the years that never mentioned Cushing’s or when I did, refused to test me, I finally found a new doctor. I wore the same kind of outfit I always did, but this doctor asked all the right questions, listened for over an hour, and sent me for a cortisol test. I don’t think my outfit made any difference to her. I bet she listens to all of her patients, regardless of what they look like.

What do you think?
