Fascinating. Is that knowing a positive? A closure? Or a beginning?
I think the docs -- not completely the medical system, but particularly the hierarchy of disdain the docs cling to -- have colonized us well and true. I have a handful of DXes, and I still long for one label I could ... What? attach to my chair? Tattoo on my numb bits? Print a wallet card to stuff in the face of those who want to talk about why I'm completely crippled?
It took me a long time to get that disability is something one claims for oneself, since the docs know sweet F A about it. (If they can name your disease, it's a good day.)
