idiopathic
1. relating to or denoting any disease or condition that arises spontaneously or for which the cause is unknown.
That may depend in what sense one means "idiopathic"; that the cause is truly known, or that it just has not been found (for a variety of possible reasons). Some people (here and elsewhere) have found either a cause or clues because they have been proactive in doing so rather than leave it solely in the hands of doctors.

Acceptance may come as one of the Kübler-Ross stages of grief, as it sometimes does with other chronic illnesses and life-changing events.
