So, and you can always just pick up the phone and talk to somebody.
One of the biggest things that I found to be helpful in the ER when I didn't know what to do is to be able to pick up the phone and call a specialist and say, hey, this might sound like a stupid question, but, and if they're reasonable people, they'll be okay with you asking the question.
Yeah.
100%.
And until a single specialty takes ownership of this class of diseases, which I don't know is going to happen until we find a cause, and we're close.
There's a lot of research that's being done suggesting a Krebs cycle problem that is related to the innate immune system.
So they're close.
And as soon as we know what is the cause and we start developing targeted treatments, it's going to fall into a specialty, you know, just like HIV fell into a specialty.
That's why there's so many terms for this illness, right?
Because it has come up under different specialties.
And because you have patients that have gone without diagnoses for so many years that they come up with their own names for it.
And I think that the rheumatologists call it fibromyalgia.
I think that calling it myalgic encephalomyelitis is the most ridiculous misnomer.
It comes from the 1930s.
They had no idea what was going on.
And they thought that it was truly a brain inflammation.
Nice one.
But maybe it is.
Absolutely.
But it's better than me saying to patients that, or saying to people, especially my friends and family, that I have chronic fatigue syndrome.
