It’s funny. I’m not sure what I was thinking about. But suddenly I remembered being in the doctor’s office with my mum when I was about 8 or 9. I’d been having chronic stomach aches (later found out it was probably related to being a ceoliac, but was found then by a homeopath to be a build up of ‘toxins’) and had been to the doctor numerous times, was home sick more than I was going to school, blood test after blood test, and still nothing was diagnosed or found to be the problem. And then one doctor visit, the doctor suggested to my mum that pretty much I might be making up. And that in some children’s cases, by prescribing them “fake medicine” like vitamins or sugar pills, that they had believed it would make them better and so they got better. Because it was psychosymatic or whatever. Luckily, my mum didn’t believe I was making it up, though a lot of people thought I was, and tbh I started to wonder myself.
Anyway, just a random memory.
