A circle for women to talk about our health challenges and successes, share tips, vent, find solace and sisterhood as we navigate illness, health and the space in between.
This is a Female Only Woman Centered Health Support Circle
Guidelines and Rules
Welcome Sister: If you were observed female at birth or assigned female at birth you are welcome here. If you are not female, you will be banned. If you are a female who identifies differently than as a woman there is a place for you here but it is not a place for you to center discussions on your identity or police woman centered language.
Please be Mindful: This is a support circle, not a debate circle. Respect other women's health decisions. If you have strong opinions on a health topic please consider making your own posts on the topic and not derailing someone else's post or comments, especially if they state they are not looking for advice. Sometimes discussion or debate will also best be had in other Circles, like /o/STEM or /o/WomensLiberation. Dangerous and misleading information is subject to deletion.
Our Health is not your Pot of Gold: No advertising, spam, sales, MLM, or self promotion of businesses and/or products.
Please be Careful: This space is not private, this space is not "safe". Nothing here should be construed as medical advice, posts and comments here have not been vetted by a doctor. Always check in with your primary care provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment for health concerns.
On Building the Space: When you post your story or comment on someone else's post you are helping build this women's centered support space. Your voice is important; sharing our stories, gifs, tips and tricks, memes, health news, rants, and raves is important. There are very few places left that center women, by actively participating you are helping us build this one.
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here.
Posts can be removed by mods for any reason for the health of the community including ones that don’t land or are confusing.

A few years ago doctors in the city I used to live took to posting policies saying they would only discuss "one medical issue per appointment" because so many patients, especially women of course, would wait until they had several issues to discuss because otherwise the doctor would shit on them for wasting their time.
This is an informal rule where I live. It took me a decade to get a referral for a persistent rash because it was never "bad" enough to be the Main Issue at my appointments. Now that I have a mild but chronic condition, nothing else ever gets any attention. Yay medicine!
