DixieGal, I love you, darling, but, with respect and no ill will, and with an underlying wish that what you describe is making you all better....
SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!S HUTUP!
SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!SHUTUP!
[I don't mean that last bit, of course.

Without at all offering any premise that I have empathy with even the slightest degree of parity with your suffering...yeah, you tell it to the man, brother!

THAT's my VENT and RANT for the day. I cannot convey the level of frustration and even anger at having to endure constant pain, and having a neurosurgeon who doesn't want to operate and a neurologist who says he can't do anything else for me "medically". Meaning, what? I'm imaging things?...

Perhaps it means the limits of their specific knowledge has been reached, but, being doctors of a particular type, they don't want to admit that and so imply to themselves that the problem is somehow of your doing, which then comes out in the way they word things. Sucks, and maybe you can help reiterate the symptoms to them in the form you offer for the "next person that asks you" (no, I'm not really suggesting that ~smile~). I can't stomach it when you tell people something is wrong (and this goes for anything) and they say "well, I can't find anything wrong/duplicate the symptoms" as if that's an answer. That's not an answer; it's a failure. I hope you find some better help at the Mayo Clinic.

So, is this a very subtle and gentle request to "ease up on the Marvin thing" so that you can be more "Taylor"? If so, happy to oblige - Marvin's fun, but know that you've well enough personality of your own to maintain interest, without coming up with other personae, fictional events, hosting fake parties, introducing imaginary friends....umm...I'll shut up now, lest I have incriminated myself.

Oh, I've been there, just at the back, behind the curtain, with a camera and voice recorder.
