    Yeah. Stop pretending the healthcare system has the resources to deal with unknown diseases.

    If they can’t find a diagnosis, you’ll get told that you’re probably anxious or depressed, or malingering, and get told to exercise and eat healthy.

      Oh wow

      Awful and I can even try beginning to imagine the kinds of things patients affected might be told by doctors… (“I get tired too, …, get more sleep before your next appointment”)

      Wishing the best for you and the community

      the healthcare system

      Kinda sounds like you’re refering to a particular country’s healthcare system (whilst assuming OP meant this same one), but you didn’t specify.

      You could be talking about Brazil, Kenya, New Zealand, even France. Without that bit of info, it’s hard to learn much from what you’re sharing.

      Anyway, bloody awful what happened to you, madness! I hope once you got your diagnosis that things improved, and that you’re doing grand these days :-)

        This is literally a universal issue and affects even the best systems. The only cases where this tends not to be an issue are extremely expensive private doctors who take all the time in the world to investigate for you.
