I'm always just like you when somebody finally "gets" one of my symptoms. Doing the happy dance!
Not to be a buzz kill, but....then I start wondering when somebody will "get" the imaginary creepy-crawlies, the crushing fatigue, the feeling that I'm falling over when I'm not....and so on.
ANYway, I'm going to remember (I hope) your experience, so I can sometime say to somebody, "You know that show, Detroit Something....well, that's what I mean. Go watch it!"
Doesn't it feel good to score once in a while? Validation is sweet.
