The lesson I got here was one of empathy, but also that you address problems directly. If the illness involves sleep then talking to sleep professionals is a good place to begin looking for answers.
Problem is getting the referral. Disabled and have multiple diseases/diangosed stuff but still don't have answers to some of my problems--ask to see certain drs see what lines up, they refuse, go to another primary, they refuse. Everything needs to go from dr to dr and I fucking *hate it*
