Wow, well then yes, you certainly do have experience in addition to a healthcare background. I went down many of the same rabbit holes researching reputable sites, ruling out, ultimately coming to my own conclusion of central sensitization. I agree with Paul Ingraham that medical practioners and their supporting cast need to be educated about central sensitization. Fortunately, patients like you and I advocate for ourselves (and maybe drive ourselves crazy in the process), but not all patients have the ability or desire to do so and rely on trained professionals to have their backs.

Thankfully your headaches have been resolved. I'm glad the later of your diagnoses have been concurred. Hopefully you have an action plan going forward. Otherwise, Mayo's Pain Rehab Center does a phenomenal job educating and providing tools for living with chronic symptoms. They treat the whole person which is invaluable and helped me tremendously.

I'm happy to see the biopsychosocial model to address chronic pain and illness is finally going mainstream.
