For 20 years, doctors allegedly told woman her problem was her weight, until her male partner spoke up. ‘The rage I feel’

Getting a diagnosis after two decades of searching for answers is a huge relief, but for KP, it also became a source of deep frustration. After years of being told by doctors that her health issues were simply a result of her weight or the stresses of motherhood, she finally received answers. The catch, however, is that she only secured those answers after bringing her male partner to an appointment.

KP, who shares stories of her life on Instagram and TikTok under the handle lifeaccordingtokp, posted about this experience, and the video has since racked up over 880K views. In her post, she captured the intensity of her experience with the caption, “Sure, Im glad to have answers now but if ANYONE had believed me at any point I could have gotten help 20 years ago!!! The rage I feel when I stop and think about it.”
