    Psychologists and physical therapists are the favorite referrals of doctors who essentially tell you “it’s your fault and/or you’re making it up.” Glad you got Dx’d quickly though!

      I went through diagnoses of burnout, anxiety, FND, health anxiety, depression, before I finally met a doctor who did the right tests and diagnosed my illness.

      The medical system has an obsession with psychologising illnesses they can’t explain. it’s scary.

      The paradigm is, meke them do therapy and exercise, and everything will magically get better. Which, well when you have an underlying undiagnosed medical condition, just isn’t the case.
