The moment you get it you'll understand why it does exist and its true nature, then good luck! You sound like those doctors in the 70s that thought the ME/CFS is "hysteria" because they thought they conquered all wisdom of the world.

My impression is a 100 years ago doctors would have been comfortable with the idea that their patient was suffering from chronic bad health with no understood cause. And then with the rise of the psychology profession anything like that was deemed psychosomatic. Impotent? Psychosomatic! Gastrointestinal problems? Psychosomatic! Feel crappy with exercise intolerance? Psychosomatic! Over the last 40 years has seen some psychosomatic! problems actually turn out to be diagnosable medical problems.
