Medicínsky nevysvětlitelné symptomy

For people whose physical symptoms persist even when tests find nothing. The program explains how such symptoms arise — and that is the first step toward living with them.

An educational program for primary-care patients who have lived for a long time with physical symptoms that repeated tests do not explain. Going from one doctor to another usually ends not in an answer, but in exhaustion — and the symptoms are still there. The program does not question that they are real. It explains, in plain language, how such symptoms arise and what keeps them going. Understanding is what makes it possible to accept them and to stop searching for one more explanation. The program does not make a diagnosis and does not replace a doctor’s care.
