I don’t want to minimize the struggle to understand these diagnoses but you should try having a random immune disorder. The number of shrugs, and “get used to it” store responses is maddening.
Neurology and immunology are the "there be dragons" of medicine. So many things are really immune disorders when you look below the surface. Our immune systme is both the thing that keeps us alive, and the thing that will likely kill us eventually at the same time. Certainly it is what causes us the most discomfort throughout our lives.
