Chronic fatigue syndrome and autoimmune diseases like fibromyalgia, which are more prevalent among women, are more likely to be written off as psychiatric disorders. For these disorders, female patients are frequently given recommendations for things like relaxation, exercise, and stress reduction. Being a woman in a Latino community, women are not always taken seriously. My mother was a victim of medical neglect and for year she wasn't taken seriously by her doctors. My mother was diagnosed with Lupus, and autoimmune disorder. It took three years for her to be diagnosed. She constantly complained of body aches, fatigue, and severe joint inflammation. The doctors always told her to relax and take days off and make them as stress free as possible. My mother was also a full-time teacher and a mother of three including me, so there was no such thing as stress free days. My mom moved on and left everything alone for a while because she was almost staring to believe what her doctors were telling her, but then she saw that she was missing out on the important family moments, and she saw that me and my siblings needed her. She finally had enough and demanded that her doctors order her a panel of blood tests to see what was going on. Sure enough, there it was low white blood count, high levels of ANA, and high levels of red blood cells and proteins. It took three years of being told, "don't be so dramatic, your body just needs to relax, just take the day off". For me it was the realization that I grew up too fast and my childhood didn't last too long because my mom was always too tired to spend time with us and I took on some of the charge so that she could have the best day possible despite all her challenges. My dad tried to help as much as possible, but he had to work all the time because sadly a teacher's salary doesn't cover much. It took so much money and valuable time and yet the system failed her. I was 10 years old when all of this occurred, and since then I always told myself no mother and her family will ever go through something like this, at least under my care. I hope to create a safe space for any future patient of mine and to let mothers enjoy their time with their families and to live happy and healthy lives together. We future doctors and healthcare professionals need to understand the importance of care, nurture, and kindness, because that's what it takes to be a doctor and help those who come to us in their time of need.
