Lol, no it’s. Have a family member that was a meth addict for years, who got “sober” and now takes RX suboxone for fibromyalgia, and states she will never be able to live without it. Additionally, I have people come in constantly that are on copious different opioids for fibromyalgia.
Your methhead cousin isn’t taking that shite for Fibro. They’re taking it because they’re a meth head.

My wife is a psychotherapist that specializes in OCD. The really bad cases of sudden onset OCD is PANDAS. Basically pneumococcal streptococcus caused.

Literally. It’s not uncommon for sufferers to suck dick in order to get their medic.

Lol, I used family member very loosely, and I 100% agree.
I don’t really think it’s a real thing, nor does the MD or Psychiatrist I work with. What I’m getting at, is that I think it’s a good way for anybody to get whatever opioid they want.

You would be surprised how much of the general public doesn’t understand the difference between type 1 and type 2.
Years ago they were called juvenile diabetes and adult-onset diabetes. Which made it easier to differentiate for the general public in some respects.
I think the increase in younger individuals developing type II diabetes pushed to common usage to type I/type II.

Gotta be Type 1 Diabetes then

Lord, people don't even understand Type 2 diabetes much less even know what insipidus is. Type 1 diabetes is actually less complicated than type 2.
The problem with Autism diagnoses is it is too broad since they made it the "Autisms Spectrum disorder". The spectrum is too broad.

This is because it is idiopathic. Doctors are just throwing a name at the patient having unexplained mildish pain symptoms.

You can't just swap words around like that. It is:
Streptococcus pneumoniae
and it can cause a pneumococcal bacterial infection and it has nothing to do with pneumonia if anyone is wondering.

No actually he’s always been pretty smart. I wouldn’t say his pain is mild or why else would only OxyContin work for it. It’s just sad how he has to go to so many doctors just to get the meds he needs

Those terms are really slang. They were actually called insulin dependent diabetes and non insulin dependent diabetes which was even more confusing because plenty of type II diabetics take insulin also.

I'm pretty sure that was the medical terminology, at least what doctors would say, prior to the use of type 1 and type 2. It is also what WebMD and Mayoclinic say they were previously called.
We need an OT Doctor to chime in

You misspelled Somatoform Disorder.
I’ve worked with many Neurologists who say Fibromyalgia is all BS.
Your cousin needs to treat their depression/anxiety or it will continue to express itself through physical symptoms.

My dad had juvenile diabetes (type 1). He was diagnosed as a teenager. He was not even close to being over weight, he didn't even drink coffee much less guzzle a 44ox diet coke.
Did you say this on purpose to act like you misunderstand or are you just an idiot?
