Vrae, I hope you don't think I was offended by you or your posting of the article. Not at all. I think all credible information is useful and worthy of reading and incorporating into our minds to try to make sense of this disease and what might help in each personal case.

I was simply expressing my view on the overall theme of the article. There was good information in there. I just feel for all those I read about on forums who've been told this is in their minds and haven't gotten the care they needed. I'm luckily not one of those people, probably because I had fairly dramatic physical proof and they kept at it until they found what was wrong. I just get so upset to read of others who've been made to feel like it's their fault or in their minds and not had the care they should've gotten early on. So maybe I over-reacted but I still thought the overall tone was a bit dismissive. Sorry.
