For an article for a woman's magazine, a writer is looking for women in their 20s, 30s, or 40s who had a doctor blow off their symptoms as just stress when they actually had a serious illness. Examples of health problems that might be confused with stress include heart disease, hepatitis C, and fibromyalgia. She is also interested in hearing about any other serious conditions with symptoms similar to those of stress.

If any of you are in that age range and are interested in talking to this reporter, let me know and I'll put you in touch. Please do not express your anger to me about the age limitations the writer has specified. Magazines aim for an audience of particular ages because of their advertisers. It's very frustrating because it feels like many of us get too old to be listened to.
