To be honest, I experience the same type of bias and judgement for conditions which affect both men and women, purely because I happen to be a woman. I’m a health professional myself so I try to be respectful of others input and clinical experience; equally so I’m not stupid and I know when something is not right!
Suffered a bout of post viral fatigue after pneumonia over Christmas 16, expected this to last around 6 months to some extent ... but it continued on. Began experiencing horrendous wide spread pain which seemed to stem from my lower back, extreme fatigue, irritability, etc. Was told likely type 2 diabetes as I’m fat... bloods came back all within normal range aside from Vitamin D and Vitamin B12, both deranged and extremely low. Treated until within “range”, likely cause: being fat, eating rubbish and not getting enough sunlight 
judgemental bastard didn’t even ask me about any of those things (incidentally up until recently I walked about 10 miles a day out in the sunlight and was in the gym with a personal trainer 3 times a week, I also eat a diet rich in fresh foods because I get migraines from most processed food ) Then diagnosed with Fibromyalgia because apparently there was nothing clinically wrong with my musculoskeletal system despite me having had no investigations.
Jan 18 began experiencing extreme hip pain, again, nothing wrong with me, take antiflammatories, see physio (already seeing works physio) - at this point I told the GP that I felt I had trochanteric bursitis and sciatica and I would like a referral to Orthopaedics as the two were making each other worse - GP refused. Carried on in pain and doddering around, again told Fibromyalgia, nothing they can do. Just take some antidepressants and it’ll all be okay.
Went back multiple times, same outcome.
September 18 - went to GP and refused to leave unless they referred me to Orthopaedic team as my mobility had tanked to the point of needing a walking stick at the age of 29! Also experiencing excruciating lower back pain, sciatica and altered sensation to feet. Told likely walking funny because of hip pain and probable type 2 diabetes as still fat - funnily enough bloods came back lower end of normal as usual.
13th October 2018 - ended up in A&E due to possible cauda equina (possible lower spinal cord compression) as extreme symptoms. Sent away with urgent (2 week) referral for MRI, emergency apparently not indicated.
26th October - finally seen by Ortho. Diagnosed with... Trochaneteric Bursitis as I suspected back in Jan. Told it had been left too long for conservative treatment; I would likely need surgery but could try steroids in the meantime whilst waiting for MRI.
11th November - MRI cancelled due to double booking. Told not urgent 
2nd December - MRI scan at last. Huuuuuge herniated and sequestrated L5:S1 disc. Probably been there over a year... Urgent 2 week referral to Neurosurgery as will require surgery to resolve. Told a big sneeze or a fall into my backside etc could cause complete compression so “be as careful as possible”.
No appointment in sight - well it is Christmas, you might have to wait a month to be seen... oh you’ll probably be okay at home because you know the signs of Cauda Equina and so it’s unlikely you’d leave it to the point you’re paralysed. What kind of get out clause is that?!?!?
Honestly I fucking give up now. I’m 30 years old, I have to use a walking stick all the time, and I’m waiting for the next big sneeze that paralyses me.
Complete juxtaposition. Male colleague of mine, seen at GP and respected for his opinion, immediately sent for MRI, seen by Neurosurgeons and had surgery in the space of about 6 weeks. His disc was barely even herniated and he was experiencing intermittent symptoms that were “annoying him”. Bastard 
Sorry that’s the most enormous post I’ve ever written
