After you have been sick and untreated for ~3 years, paying hundreds per month for medical insurance and the portions it doesn't cover.... I could definitely see how one could be seen as a hypochonriac or in need of a shrink after awhile.
I'm just not going to be the guy who has "I TOLD YOU I WAS SICK." on my headstone.
Anyway there are a lot of remarkable things going on (according to bloodworkd and symptoms) that the doctors admittedly can't figure out.... their best suggestion is to just wait for it to get better -- or worse -- so they have something that is treatable pop up on the radar.
They have wanted to give me predinsone... but I'll pass on becoming bloated like Jerry Lewis was. Not to mention all the other side effects with that drug.
Using prednisone is the equivalent of smashing your cars engine warning light and saying "there, all better!"
