My dad has white coat syndrome - his blood pressure goes to around 200/140. And yet, mysteriously, when he (a thin white cis man with no major medical issues) has this problem, they try to document it and work around it, but when I, Fatty McFemale with several documented medical issues, have the same issue... (Please add in some muttering about how it must be infinitely worse in the US health care system!)

I'm glad you're getting an actual short break at Christmas. Hang in there!
