>multiple specialists all telling you that it's "all in your head"

This has been my experience since I started having systemic inflammatory symptoms since the age of 12.

It has wrecked my life in as literal and as figurative a way as one can imagine.

A lot of doctors blur the lines between their own hypotheses and facts. It's always "all in your head" until it isn't, but few ever admit they were wrong even after the facts come out.

Many also have such an ego that they prefer to concoct convoluted and implausible explanations for irregular test results and obvious symptoms rather than to concede that their prior implications about the patient's character (as being one who makes up symptoms) were unacceptable.
