i think BNLsMOM is right it is a cool thread.
And i agree, diagnostics are not what they should be. my bipolar literally can twist my body out of shape, i get so tense my muscles don't relax and pull joints out of place. my neck was so tense for so long my cervical spine was straight. point is i went to at least 9 docs none of which spent any time and made quick diagnoses. they wrote script and sent me on my way. well long story shorter i went to pdoc and told the whole truth about not just the physical but what was going on in my head. i went in knowing it was probably bipolar and he somewhat agreed, so we went with it as a working diagnoses. after a couple years now and a severe manic episode and some nasty depression lots of drugs i now am mostly stable and sure of the diagnoses.
it just took the right doc and a little truth from me.
