@athenalee and @joannemm30809 Here is a Ted Talk link. This really explains what everyone is going through. Jennifer Brea: What happens when you have a disease doctors can't diagnose | TED Talk
I also read a book “Brain on Fire” written by a woman going through similar experiences. ( Sorry, i remember so late, but my autoimmune disease doesn’t always cooperate). I have 1 more article to find that talks about the difficulty of diagnosis.

Thank you Becky. I’ve actually watched Ms. Brea’s Ted Talk a couple times…very sad, but her determination is astounding. It’s on my list to watch her film. I haven’t read Brain on Fire, but did see the film and read an article about her. Another incredible journey. Our bodies are definitely remarkable, albeit not always in a good way. There are certainly doctors and researchers willing to think out of the box and do all they can to help their patients. As a liver transplant patient, I found A Surgeon’s Cut, Ep. 3, about Dr. Ascher, the first female liver transplant surgeon, to be incredible.
