Idiopathic means the doctors don't know what causes the symptoms.
I have abnormal test results and the docs are now looking for the cause.

My neuro yesterday said idiopathic means they are idiots and can't figure it out----somethings remain mysteries even to the best doctors. I think doctors who care get very frustrated when they cannot find an answer of what causes a patient's health problems.
