Just wanted to say that I agree with your take; however, I was SURE it was something else and have had extensive testing done (thyroid, RA, lupus, lyme, MRI's, EEG's, allergies, homeopathic tests, etc). All of the "specialists" agree that it is "psychiatric" in nature. One doc (a mean spirited rheumatologist) looked in my chart and said "You don't have RA, why are you here? You are bi-polar and should be seeing a shrink". I responded that my doctor said I had low IgG and IgA levels and had referred me to him. He then shook his head and said "Unless you are in and out of the hospital several times a year with pneumonia, I see no reason for you to be here with a simple immune deficiency. Follow up with a good shrink." So, sometimes, digging for anwers can be hurtful- just saying......
