I've been stuck on it for days now. I went to my Dr about a month ago and he felt the need to mention that fibro isn't a diagnosis but rather an elimination of everything else. Sure, fine. Technically correct. But I had to respond. I said the reason it's not a diagnosis is because, for decades, medicine has been looking in the wrong places.

HOOOOOOW is it that I have a known nervous system disorder and I've never been sent for a brain scan. HOOOOOOW is it that when they can't find something wrong on blood tests and other scans and everything else the looked for when I was being diagnosed it never occurs to doctors to look at the organ that controls literally everything!? But we're supposed to trust their medical opinions about our condition. Gah!

Edit I'm not talking about looking for the things they already know about the brain. I'm talking about a stance of "what have we missed?". It's only logical that answers to a nervous system condition can be found at the center of it.
