Amina - I too find it disturbing that your symptoms have been attributed to "stress" and, unfortunately, I hear the same thing from many women in a broad spectrum of medical conditions. Maria is right on in her advice, and the need for self-education and advocacy. I encourage you to get involved with support groups and other patients as they are a great source of practical information and will help you feel less alone as you deal with your situation and work for your own best health. I'm glad you found EmpowHER, we're here to help women exactly like you.
Take care, Pat
