Mentions (3)
"Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, ehlers-danlos syndrome (EDS), POTS, "chronic" Lyme disease just to name a few. These people typically post obsessively about their conditions, identify every suspected condition in their bios, and demand an insane level of overcare."

"It's legitimately so crazy how many people believe in chronic lyme when there are highly public articles/scholarship on it being quackery. Is this the pathologized guilt of the modern housewife for feeling too fatigued to girlboss being passed down the generations?"
"Other than Chronic Lyme, there are manyyyy otehr sus diseases. psychosomatic disease IS a real thing, but using infectious disease as a cover for psychiatric illness is VERY BAD! we already have limited antibiotics due to overuse."
