I've studied a little bit about how doctors think and the following is what I think I see:

Every sign and symptom can be from one disease one year (or even one day) and a different disease the next.

The only way to find out which disease you have on which day is to take tests for diseases with which you've been diagnosed to see if they've gone away and diseases with which you haven't been diagnosed to see if you've acquired new ones.

Of course, it all "feels" the same to you but you wouldn't really "know" what it was because you're a patient.

Medications only ever work by the placebo effect (a special placebo effect--if the doctor tells you it's good for you, it will work even if you feel awful on it and if he doesn't think it's good for you, then it won't work, even if it does appear to make you feel better.)

Sorry not to have anything more cheerful to say on the matter...
