I wish I could work on a thesis about it!
It's so frustrating to me that there are many studies linking the various problems to the same cause, yet I haven't seen any studies on looking at it as a whole, or using it for therapeutic purposes.
All my doctors have me pegged at first glance, not just the psych ones. And each doctor sees that the various indispositions I have within their specialty are not somatization or all in my head or caused by a need for attention or whatever. It's so strange that they aren't discussing it in terms of a root cause for various ailments. I can't tell you how relieved I was to speak to a neurologist about the very real physiological causes of migraines, when I always had the sense before then that my doctors just thought I was neurotic. Well, maybe I was, but maybe neurotic didn't mean what they thought it meant.
