Lori Harvey shared that doctors often dismissed her when she had painful symptoms. Fans say her story feels all too familiar.
The entrepreneur shared on the SHE MD podcast that she spent years seeing doctors in Atlanta and LA. They kept saying she was “fine,” but she felt something was off.
“When you keep telling these doctors who are supposed to be there to help you that you don’t feel right and something’s off, and they keep telling you you’re fine, it’s almost like you’re getting gaslit,” Lori said. “Then you start to normalize all of these feelings.”
The star shared what it’s like to live with PCOS. She talked about acne, rosacea flare-ups, facial hair growth, and ongoing weight changes.
Fans Say Her Story Is Their Story
The reaction online was instant. Women flooded the comments to say they’ve lived through the exact same thing.
One fan wrote: “It’s so frustrating how so many women’s symptoms just get brushed aside as ‘normal.’ You are your best advocate. So glad she kept pushing.”
Another admitted: “I am currently going through the same thing and the doctors are no help.”
Others praised Harvey for speaking up when so many feel silenced. “Thank you for sharing and helping to raise awareness about PCOS and Endometriosis,” one comment read.
