I was too tired to come back last night when I was thinking about how no one else had responded to you.

I think the problem is "syndrome" -- I remember when I first was learning to distinguish my post traumatic stress. At first it was called "post traumatic stress syndrome" with the implication, I felt, that if I didn't think about it, then it wouldn't be a problem.

Later it became known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and that seemed to imply that it was a legitimate complaint.

I would be curious to see what happened if you wrote another post replacing "syndrome" with another word, or set of words, conveying a problem that is generally taken seriously by the medical community...
