There is a difference between continuing to seek diagnosis and treatment and self-diagnosing and letting that influence how others treat you.

Yes, Danielson has struggles that deserve diagnosis and treatment. His questioning every move plays into their ideas against him. There is a lot to his story we do not know. It appears he is left out of the information loop.

I have first hand experience with doctors who tried to claim I am faking or have hypochondria or am embellishing my condition. At first impression, they were justified in their response. But, I used extensive understanding to show them I had a sound factual basic for my concerns. Most accepted my concerns. If I did not have the knowledge I have, I would not have been able to overcome the malingering/hypochondria label.

We fight an uphill battle to get good care. Getting sidetracked with self-diagnosis and paranoia of the diagnostic process only makes the uphill battle harder.
