Keep a Journal
Journaling your experience and symptoms is crucial when you’ve been misdiagnosed. It can help you to keep everything fresh and documented so that once you see a new doctor, you’ll be prepared.
Get a Second Opinion
If you believe you’ve been misdiagnosed, you must get a second opinion. Just because one doctor doesn’t know what’s going on with you, that doesn’t mean the next won’t have concrete answers. You can’t heal and move forward with treatment until you get a proper diagnosis. Find the right doctor and start from square one.
Acknowledge Your Feelings
After a medical misdiagnosis, it’s normal to feel a slew of emotions. You probably feel angry, scared, anxious, sad and traumatized. Acknowledge all of your feelings and realize that they are legitimate. When a doctor misdiagnoses you, it violates your trust in them and could be damaging depending on the state of your health.
Seek Therapy
A medical misdiagnosis can have serious psychological impacts even if you’re not dealing with a potentially fatal illness. Seek therapy if you need it so that you can look ahead to your healing. Talking about what you’ve gone through with a professional can help you cope with the experience. Although there is a stigma on therapy, the reality is that it’s available to help people and is a healthy option.
Medical misdiagnoses can be devastating. Often it is difficult to get through this kind of trauma without going through these steps.
