> My doctors have suggested that it's "in my head" or "stress related illness" and I'm completely open to that idea
I think the biggest misconception is that when doctors tell you that it's all in your head. The pain is real, as real as the pain you get during a leg cramp and it's caused by the ANS (autonomic nervous system) because of a mild oxygen deprivation (about 5%).
It is harmless and completely reversible but that does not mean it's not there. It's very real. This is a very important thing to understand explained in the book.
