That is beyond cool. I bet you can put a git repo in dropbox and clone it using the shareable link. I'd test if I didn't have a program to deliver in 4h.

This person doesn't need medical advice from HN. What he needs is to keep seeing specialist doctors until he can find one that can diagnose him correctly He's been doing that for 18 years, it's natural to try something different.
