Not to bring things down but… when you’ve been dealing with an undiagnosed illness which has gone on for months (i.e. me), you’ll be happy to take someone with the bedside manner of Dr. House as long as you get some sort of answer.
And no, it isn’t lupus.
The funny thing is we actually considered some sort of brain issue, but according to my neurologist after seeing my MRI, I have a very healthy brain.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I’m not imagining things. Who knows? Anything could be psychosomatic.
Things could be psychosomatic, but I was being sarcastic for a reason. Many people dismiss other’s pain as psychosomatic as a quick way to ignore their needs. I say trust yourself as much as it makes sense to do so.
Note that neurology is a science at an infant stage. Not only do we have limited tools to analyze the brain, we barely know how it works. In contrast, even though plenty of forms of cancer are very difficult to treat, we have a solid understanding of how it works, we just have difficulties creating remedies that are safe and effective for all forms of cancer.
