Myalgic encephalomyelitis is so stupid because it's just like ohhh what if you had a disease that many people don't believe is real and is often misdiagnosed as mental illness or another physical disorder and the only management strategy is the opposite of the treatment for everything else and if you treat it like any other similar illness it can make you way way sicker
Like okay you'll definitely be initially misdiagnosed or go undiagnosed and be given really dangerous advice that hurts you, and then once you finally get correctly diagnosed there's still loads of doctors who don't believe it's real and will prescribe you the dangerous treatment that hurts you and label you as mentally ill if you reject that
