Hi Thomas,

I pondered replying to you, and decided just to ask you a question. I hope you respond. My question - "What possible difference could it make to you if someone has the symptoms they describe or doesn’t have them?"




It would make a big difference actually. It would affect how I might deal with a symptom I could have by trusting that persons experience. If they haven't truly had it than the information they give could be unhelpful or even harmful.
