I think that in order to be diagnosed with something, there has to
be an official diagnosis "code", which means the illness has to
be officially recognized? I know that when my ES was at it's worst
and my employer required a diagnosis from my doctor for my medical
disability, the best my doctor could come up with was "chronic
fatigue syndrome", as there was a code for that...
