I understand that you are confident in your self-diagnosis, but even assuming it's perfectly accurate and a complete explanation, wouldn't it be a learning experience for a doctor to confirm your hypothesis? For the doctor, that is. Even if your healing has progressed too long for you to make a great case study, experience is a powerful teacher and can help the physician treat others with your condition- including those who are not as recovered as you are.
[2/2] It really can be a transformative experience for a doctor to meet an articulate and informed patient going through something unusual. As someone with a seemingly fairly unique or at least severely underresearched presentation of a medical condition, the specialists I see are often grateful for the opportunity to learn about it in a hands-on, human way, even when they determine they aren’t able to contribute substantially to my health.
I really do think the insistence that I take my physical-maintenance issues to a doctor such that when I point out there’s no instrumental benefit to be gained they start backfilling reasons to the point it’s framed as for the doctor’s benefit reflects people’s internalization of a medical priesthood model
Like if I could see a way to be of benefit to doctors as a whole, like just pass on the message “in cases of fatigue at least try iron and/or creatine” in a newsletter, but I really do not expect some rando getting a checkup with whoever Kaiser assigns me for general practice to be a useful entry point there
