i know in most places you have to pay for treatment, but here you don't which actually is great for recognised 'common' dx's but for those like mine it makes it impossible to get any.top that with having the dx questionned every time is very waring.

Another thought here yellowted. First of all, I'm really sorry that it's so difficult for you to get help in real life too. Even here in the states, some of the most ill folks have to fight so hard and sometimes don't succeed in getting the help they deserve. It is a travesty and honestly, I can't begin to imagine how it makes you feel.
You most definitely are worthy of help and support. Please don't let them keep getting you down. Remember, the squeeky wheel gets the grease....keep sqweeking and sqwacking as loudly as you can and as often as you can. Sooner or later it's going to fall on ears that are listening and a brain that is functioning!
Regardless of how your dx is classified, it surely is debilitating and you should have help to make your life easier and less stressful.
