I relate so much to this story - the endless round of tests, the deep dives into the medical literature and disinterest of doctors. And grief - the way that grief can paradoxically give you an exit from hope and so allow you to live again. theguardian.com/society/2023/jun/17/my-wife-was-annoyed-i-couldnt-do-chores-or-hold-the-baby-even-the-doctors-were-fed-up-with-me-my-life-with-chronic-pain?CMP=Share_iOSApp_OtherPermalink Look on archive.org
