It can be difficult to cope with physical symptoms that are very real, but are hard to diagnose and treat medically. Everyone’s experience of physical symptoms is different. You may have a group of symptoms which means a diagnosis has been given such as Fibromyalgia or Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Or you may have a diagnosed condition (such as Epilepsy), but have other symptoms (such as dizziness, fainting) which are unexplained. Alternatively, it may be that no clear diagnosis or medical explanation of your symptoms has been provided, or a more general term has been given such as chronic pain or functional symptoms (e.g. functional headache).
