1:27 What a pity that SHE does not express correctly even when herself suffered the disorder. The SYMPTONS ARE REAL, what is not real is the damage to the body organs. Doctors do not confirm signs of organic illness, but witness the malfunctioning or functional disorder. I experience the conditions and perfectly know that the pain and the Ill sensations (paresthesia, myoclonus, espasticity, dizziness, double vision and many others) are real.

What medicine did she take? And does it help functional weakness and slurring

[@jackyeastwood9294]

I think they are saying CBT cured her.

[@hajarfi329]

Since CBT cured her then it must be all psychological

Is any of the patients ever checked for tick born infections from IGENX labs. If not, why not? The resean I ask this is because I know a young man that’s being treated for this disorder right now and not one dr, has checked him for Lyme disease and co infections and I think it’s one stone the these Dr fail to look user time and time again. There is just too much evidence that 50% of people that’s been clearly diagnosed with tick born infections that never remember being bit by a tick or having a rash. Just seems kinda strange this is not being looked at as a possibility, especially when they haven’t found an answer to why these people are suffering but their symptoms all fall under the symptoms people with Lyme disease that have been clearly tested and diagnosed with Lyme disease have. Makes no sense to me why they are not tested for Lyme disease and coinfections from a place like IGENX labs who do nothing but test for tick born illnesses which is the true epidemic of our time and the mainstream medical establishment is way behind the eight ball on recognizing as a real epidemic. Johns Hopkins research has proven this with out a shadow of a doubt. Just watch any of Dr Ying Zangs Lyme innovation video lectures. When you don’t know why not at least check these people? Just seems rather odd they aren’t being checked for tick born illnesses in 2019.
