Hello everyone. As someone who was born with a disorder which affected my genitals since birth and ruined my life in many way I always had to fight doctors who'd just ignore me in spite of crippling pain, walking issues and incontinence. I wrote my medical history down which took 6 pages in 11 sized font. I messaged GPs asking if they accept new patients and intend to go. I hope I can finally get the help and respect I should've gotten long ago. I wish all the best to everyone who is struggling. We will get through it. :)

Thats great hun! Getting medical assistance can be so much of a needless hassle that I can't blame some people just throwing up their hands and not bothering so good on you for persisting regardless, wishing ya all the best :3
