Why I Created This Blog

For more than two decades, I struggled with a challenging constellation of symptoms and spent those years either undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, or repeatedly underdiagnosed. Among my many symptoms, I had severe fatigue, pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, cardiovascular issues, and neurological strangeness. I had many laboratory abnormalities but nothing with much specificity. Essentially, doctors didn't know why any of this was happening. The most common response was that it wasn't or that my mother was making me sick, and once I was old enough, it was I who was making me sick.
