Pain is entirely subjective and self reported, but we are still pretty sure it exists, and we have medical treatments for it.

Pain is a symptom not a disease

Im not saying clumsiness, anxiety or forgetfulness dont exist either

Does fibromyalgia exist? Tension headaches? What about chronic fatigue or irritable bowel syndrome? How are they diagnosed?

Whats that got to do with clumsiness and forgetfulness being a disease?

They are all subjective, arbitrary, "not observable", "in the mind", "not objective"

Pain is a symptom of all those diseases, which is why is said "Pain is a symptom not a disease"

And with ADHD youre saying im more clumsy than normal, but we cannot define normal and we cannot even define abnormal - its completely upto the patient to say if they think its abnormal - unless its a kid then its normally the parent making the claim
