After dealing with fibromyalgia and then long COVID making it worse, & reading a lot on complex chronic illness, I think the medical establishment has more or less invented the idea of psychosomatic illness rather than admit there are physical pathologies not visible under current modes of testing.

“Because there often aren’t conclusive tests for these types of complex chronic conditions, and because many patients do not outwardly appear unwell, they’re frequently told that they aren’t physically sick at all—that symptoms are all in their heads.”

And exactly like you're saying, if they think it is in your head, then they need to treat that!
Same with drug seeking nonsense. If they think someone is an addict then they should treat that!
But like, where's the fucking attention then? Where's the benefit for me? And if they really think I'm harming my kid then do something!!
Especially because we still mask. I must be nutsy kookoo. That their screen shows he has fuck all white blood cells is clearly irrelevant.
But I’m just an artist.
If it's only real if a Dr can find it to believe it and it isn't if they don't, then the looking and finding brings the illness into existence and no one would be sick until then.
It's all based around what *they* believe. Not us.
