I am in Oz, and have read how highly regarded Mayo is. I don't think we have the equivalent here. So basically your neuro at Mayo said stress is doing this to you?

A lot of people post the same thing that doctors are chalking most everything down to stress that they cannot find a diagnosis for. Your very young still for stress disorders And this started when you were around 23??

If I were you I would want to ask what has been ruled out and get copies of bloodwork, reports, and testing that you have had done. It,s important o you can make sure there is nothing that actually needs real treatment like a metabolic or autoimmune disorder.

As far as school is concerned, it's based on entirely how you feel, but this illness has a way of turning people into spectators rather than participants in life. I have been angry at myself for missing so much. I found that when I pushed myself, it wasn't as dreadful as I imagined it was going to be.

Best of luck to you matey.
