    I would’ve been right there with you a few months ago, but I must admit diagnosis did unlock a lot of help for me.

    The medical system needs to place a lot more emphasis on prompt and accurate diagnosis, though. Without it, you have people suffering and dying indefinitely. It’s like they don’t care about that, though. They’re happy to blame you for your symptoms and refer you to a psychiatrist or physical therapist. (Something that happened to me twice…)

      Doctors have morphed into bureaucratic drones. It’s not really their fault, medical school does a number on them.

      I was not a sickly child, the few interactions I had with doctors in the 1970s and 1980s were 100% positive. I remember them fondly.

      Something happened to this profession that has transformed them into dense, stupid brutes.
