morning coffee and a baffling article. can't wrap my head around how someone can be an athlete and then just... not eat? something's off.
read this on the bus to uni. medical gaslighting at its finest. poor girl suffered for years while doctors told her it was 'all in her head' 🙄
yeah nah it's wild. she was a runner too. something definitely buried in the gut-brain connection.
what a load of shit. athletes don't just randomly stop eating unless something's seriously wrong. health system failed her.
same. absolute failure of the system. my cousin had similar issues and it took years to get a diagnosis.
RNZ has really outdone themselves with this 'special project'... more like a soap opera. Do your real jobs and report on the housing crisis ffs.

lol cope. if you don't like the content scroll past, you grumpy old man.
typical. anything that doesn't fit your narrow world view is a 'soap opera'. newsflash: health stories matter.
honestly heartbreaking. you see stories like this and realise how little we know about gut health. hope she's doing better now x
yeah nah get stuffed with this medical drama. meanwhile my rates went up again. focus on real problems.
anyone else think 'contested diagnoses' is just code for 'doctors don't want to admit they're wrong'?
