Read a little up on the history of the medical community underdiagnosing or ignoring autoimmune diseases because they are harder to confirm.

There's a parallel here with default assumptions of sexual assault / harassment being against the victim because of the existence of some claims that were clearly manufactured. (And not entirely surprisingly the victims of autoimmune diseases tend to be disproportionately women, so there's more than just a superficial similarity here)
