I’d think that with a genetic link they would be able to figure out the low level mechanism, at least. IMO, “idiopathic“ means they aren’t trying very hard.

I have that word on a condition that makes my life hellish, but isn’t technically life-threatening. I hope you did catch it early and you can do everything you can to increase your living, decrease discomfort, and prepare to meet the inevitable with calmness and grace.

Sending you grace and strength today.
