Thank you for sharing this, Rivka. Your experiences are awful and nobody should be side-eyed and judged, much less by medical professionals, for the size of their bodies. Recently I listened to the podcast “maintenance phase” where the hosts talk about the development of the Body Mass Index and how it really isn’t the best measure of weight/ health.. it seems as though the medical community is, ironically, lazy in using weight as an indicator of health. I hope your good days are more plentiful than bad ones and that you find relief and a group of helpful doctors.
