I’m documenting a redacted iatrogenic medical condition. No physician I’ve found is aware of it, but it’s very real and was fully studied and documented before being redacted several decades ago. I’ve had this Rube-Goldberg-like autoimmune condition for almost 30 years. Overall, it’s some fascinating stuff, but not very fun.

Anyway, one of the persistent issues with this is GI issues. They vary considerably over the course of the condition. In this final major transition period, they’ve been something I’ve just had to tolerate. They are back in full force today.

The original article discussed how any one with this condition would likely be written off the medical community as a hypochondriac as the symptons never result in clinical findings (it is rather insidious, a word straight from that case study’s introductory section).

I’ve had so many types of abdominal discomfort that I’m adept at ignoring it as well as differentiating it.

Today is well above average in this regard.

The article said that someone with this would likely give up on the medical establishment and go it alone, as there really is no other option.

I can recall how it did that someone in the very final portions might just think they had a bad stomach ache for several weeks before the bowels just simply stop. There have been numerous times I thought I was in that part of it. Am I today? Maybe. We will find out and I’ll be documenting it.

At some point, this goes from “you are perfectly fine” to the opposite. This is my record of their discovery of that process.
