How do we defeat the disability Jew?

Fibromyalgia is just a generic diagnosis for "we don't know what the fuck is wrong with you but please go away so we can treat some patients who have treatable symptoms."
"Adrenal fatigue" is another one that is hard to pinpoint because it could be any issue with the HPA axis or a neurotransmitter issue or allergies or inflammation or high anxiety or depression or you could just be fat and unhealthy. Diagnostic medicine is not easy despite what Dr. House tells you.
A wet bird never flies at night.
I thought the entire point of house was to show that it was hard and everyone is getting misdiagnosed because we don't have house to save us? If you can work it one solution would be to be on disability while working under the table and or for yourself. I was raised not to take government hand outs but my pride is jsut holding me back compared to all the welfare queens and kings slinging drugs around me making more then me and my shitty meme honesty.

this, people confuse that with "isn't real" but that's not how it works. Fibro is like when your car gets old and the headlights won't come one unless you kick a tire or the radio knob only works sometimes. Basically, the body is an insane electrical system and fibro is a short in one or many places. That's why Lyrica and certain SSRI work well for these patients
fibro patients scare the shit out of doctors. I have it, but I don't collect disability. I just have to eat a weird diet and exercise the area all the time. Some people are still fucked , though. We'll have a name for the collection of the conditions someday, but if you can't see it on an MRI or x-ray, it's almost impossible to diagnose something properly
I feel you my friend I have Meniere's disease which periodically fucks my shit up. "What's causing it doctor?" "Dunno like blood vessels n'shiiiet maybe."
I can work but sometimes not. What can you do but continue living the best life you can?
>I feel you my friend
chronic illness is a bitch, you can really do everything right and still get owned. What's weird is everyone treats you like shit... for being sick
>What can you do but continue living the best life you can?
this, it gets easier when you abandon who you were and put a new person together, makes the limitations part of your world officially
Lady Gaga is wheel chair bound due to fibromyalgia I’ve heard this, I’m also heard that it’s a catch all for pill seekers and mostly mental
>What's weird is everyone treats you like shit... for being sick
Do doctors rolls their eyes when they know they have to deal with you?
help yourself to a medical journal nigger, it's not that the person is "insane," its that the neural pathways and nervous system is arcing and fucking everywhere. The reason they give psych drugs is not to treat the mind but it's more like pic related for all the fucked up wires. Examine your premises; Why would someone willingly give up a lucrative job?
>Do doctors rolls their eyes when they know they have to deal with you?
no, not really. My doctor knew right away what the problem was. He said my system in that area was "shorting out" and the best he could offer is anti-seizure meds for life. I rejected him at first, but after a year of pure hell I went on them and, damn, that phd nigger was right
Fibromyalgia does exist, dweeb. Your information is at least 20 years out of date. Doctors used to treat the set of symptoms as psychosomatic because hurr durr I donno wut problem is so you crazy bitch, but wouldn't refer the patients to a psychiatrist for assessment. Spoiler alert, fibromyalgia doesn't present like a psychosomatic illness and the APA never supported the psychosomatic hypothesis. A little bit of research goes a long way. See IBS is like this, btw. Doctors want to be heroes, not fucking Sherlocks. If it ain't going to kill you (whether or not it shortens your life expectancy) and they can't solve it in the 15 minute appointment, they don't see as their job to diagnose or treat.
That said, there are plenty of people faking disability. There's been a significant drop in SSD recipients since Trump took office. Instead of people "faking weird diseases that aren't real" the vast majority of SSD fakers have "chronic pain." They are almost all blue collar Boomers who can't find work and are too proud to work for minimum wage. Not even kidding, look it up. There's a near 1:1 correlation between blue collar layoffs of workers over the age of 50 and "unexpected" increases in SSD applications.
and what would you know about it, Cooter?
It is real but it's just a negative feedback loop or whatever.
Stress and lack of exercise makes your muscles and joints hurt so you're stressed out and get even less exercise.
Literally the disease of a lazy whiny bitch.
Let’s take the top reply from leddit Whether or not it's "bullshit" isn't really the question. There exist a population of people in this country who are in distress which happens to manifest itself as "fibromyalgia". Maybe that distress is related to an underlying physiologic disorder of nerve conduction or pain reception or whatever… who cares?
Maybe that distress is related to the absence of opportunity for huge swaths of the country, the enforced dependence on a social safety net, and the effects of chronic psychologic stress on the body… who cares?
The point is… you went into medicine to help people, maybe your armamentarium is a bit bereft to help this particular person, but talking to them and explaining the limits of medicine and that, if it's true, it actually breaks your heart that you don't have something to fix this for them; but, that you do have a set of difficult steps they could implement to begin ameliorating their distress… that's supposedly what doctors go to work for every day.
In short, get off your high horse and grow some compassion. Who cares if their problem is real (to you)? It's obviously real (to them). This what the defenders sound like. Also I read medical journals as it’s my field and the general consensus in my area is it’s bs and probably just a mental disorder like a phantom limb
I feel like I have every symptom in OP's pic, this is probably bullshit
>it was real in my mind
The linked pdf in op covers this

Modern medicine in many cases really dont know whats happening or why its happening so they come up with X syndrome and just wait for someone to figure it out.
Doctor house is there just to teach people to say the truth to your doctor even if its a shithead thats gonna troll you after.
