Like many of my colleagues who care for patients with dysautonomia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and infection-associated chronic illness, I stumbled into this work seemingly by accident. As a rheumatology fellow, I was trained to ask sharp, targeted questions to diagnose rheumatic diseases. When patients did not fit a recognisable pattern—when their symptoms, laboratory results, and exam findings did not add up—I would explain, often unhelpfully, that they did not have a rheumatological illness, and send them on their way.
