perhaps i’ll ask again, though.

I think it really depends on whether you think there's any benefit that could come from that. In whether you believe having an official label to describe the problem and receiving treatment for it would be worth it for you, or if it would be getting a diagnosis purely for the sake of having the diagnosis. And that's something only you can know for your own situation.

Well, what I seek is answers and relief from my symptoms, not “labels” really. That’s my motivation, if that’s what you’re wondering.

Ya know, perhaps it’s best to just trust my doctors on this one.
