I would be bitter and angry too if I was dying a horrifically painful death at 43.
That's really easy to detect and really known and if he had that they'd already know it. It's a stutter where an otherwise normal repetition of DNA results in the gene expanding and repeating vastly over and over again, to the point that instead of generating a useful protein, it generates a protein that guarantees fatality.
Not strange at all. Fibromyalgia, as an example, is nothing more than an unexplained, generalized pain in muscle and connective tissue. Some of it is psychosomatic and munchausen, but a lot of it is real and etiologically not understood. I don’t know why there is this perception that modern medicine and science has it all figured out. That is not even remotely true.
That's why it's often called a "garbage can diagnosis." It's just for idiopathic (meaning a pathology unique to the person) for some claims of pain unique to the individual with no objective connection to any identifiable condition. Sometimes these idiopathic conditions are bullshit. Sometimes their causes are completely unknown and yet people die from them.
Not to get too pedantic, but idiopathic means occurring with no known causality, not a uniquely individualized occurring condition.
Also multiple sclerosis is linked to heart attacks, which is one of the symptoms that Jim mentioned.
That's not too pedantic, you just corrected me about something I was being a retard about.
They can also usually identify MS at this point.
Jim had multiple brain and spine MRIs, which would have detected MS, because the lesions MS produces are highly visible. The test sensitivity is 90-95%.
You’re not actually wrong in your usage, as it can be used to mean unique to the individual. Typically, however, it is used in documentation to mean without a known causality.
So could it really just be a unicorn disease? What diseases have already been ruled out?
