You're so right... I've been twice in "medical wandering" where doctors couldn't figure out what I had. First time was IBS years ago when the condition wasn't well known (2 years of pain and loneliness before I knew what I had), second time was for lyme and I'm currently in PTLDS in the middle of the war between the 2 sides. I can't stress enough how angry I am at some doctors I met, that had so little empathy and so much ego. Not only their incompetence allowed my condition to worsen and make the recovery harder and longer, they made me question my sanity and lose hope without caring a little bit about how it would make me feel. If it wasn't for the support of my loved ones, it would have been the loneliness and despair that would have killed me. The only reason I haven't fallen into the "alternative medecine" world is because the ones I have met have been even more bullshit. But at least they cared (and for most, not in a predatory way. They genuinely wanted to help). No wonder so many people can fall into predatory practices when left alone like I was.
