My main arguments for it are that

1. It doesn't show up in blood testing
2. I have the majority of the symptoms listed on the MS society website
3. My disease has the same behavior--I'll be just about perfectly normal for awhile and then I'll get a flare and be useless and stuck in bed, and then I'll get better again.
4. The symptoms change a bit each time and it's progressively getting worse.


Honestly I thought for awhile that I just got the flu a few times a year and that's what this was. Then I actually got the flu this past year and realized it was different.


To be fair though, I don't really know what other illnesses are out there that don't show up in bloodwork. But that's what the doctor is for.

If no one cared, I wouldn't be sitting here typing this.
