Are there people who don't realize when they tell their doctor they have ____________ Syndrome, the doctor just rolls their eyes and pretends to give a poo poo.

Aspergers, Irritable Bowel, Fibromyalgia etc...

Syndrome is literally a synonym for unquantifiable bullshit in the medical community.

I thought most people knew this, but I keep seeing more and more idiots who seem baffled as to why no one takes their "Syndrome" seriously. Now you know, you're welcome.

A syndrome is a set of symptoms for which the underlying physiology is unknown. so that's pretty much exactly what it means.

Why do they respond to drug therapy then

What is the best way to cook a pork chop? I tried it tonight on medium heat on the stove but it was really thick so the outside was getting a little too black on both sides and it was still kinda rare in the middle when I took it off so I had to cut it up into smaller pieces and throw it back on

It still tasted good but didn't look restaurant quality ):

It gets fancy to the point where for severe IBS you have to get inflammatory signal targeting antibodies injected into your arm every week

Yeah I confused IBD with IBS there

But serotonin agonists that aren't absorbed by the gut can control IBS

That isn't IBS then. Not a single legit medical professional is doing anything like this for IBS.

You are confusing IBS for Crohn's Disease or Ulcerative Colitis

OP, AIDS is a syndrome, are you willing to have unprotected buttsex with strangers and share needles with drug addicts because you don't believe in AIDS?

AIDS is still a syndrome, it is the set of symptoms that appear in the terminal phase of HIV infection. With treatment you can live indefinitely with HIV and not get AIDS.

Sudden infant death syndrome is a thing. It really kills babies, but we don't know the exact casual mechanisms. Otherwise we'd give the baby the "don't die" vaccination and bitch about when dingus living an "off the grid" lifestyle have their babies die because vaccinations cause autism
