Just wanted to add that I made this post to throw life-lines out to those who are suffering with the same illness as I am. This was not meant to be an invitation to healthy people to debate the merits of my diagnosis. I don't think healthy people can really understand this illness. It takes an immense amount of research and dedication to wrap your head around what's really going on. I gave up everything in my life to focus on studying my illness for over a decade. I'm talking 80-100 hour weeks for years and years. It just doesn't make sense to argue with people who haven't put in a similar amount of time and effort.
