I've been thinking for a long time about this and becoming convinced that Chaos Theory applies to our illness.
Chaos Theory is " the branch of mathematics that deals with complex systems whose behavior is highly sensitive to slight changes in conditions, so that small alterations can give rise to strikingly great consequences"
A little thing that I do, like eat something that I think is ok, or do something that I think will be fine, will lead to drastic downturns in my strength levels.
They all seem pretty random, but apparently there is a science behind all this.
From Wikipedia:
Chaos theory is the field of study in mathematics that studies the behavior of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions—a response popularly referred to as the butterfly effect. Small differences in initial conditions (such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation) yield widely diverging outcomes for such dynamical systems, rendering long-term prediction impossible in general. (My bolding).
What is happening in our bodies with this illness---may be we are not at the mercy of this illness after all---there seems to be chaos theory in operation, something that can be explained mathematically.
Any mathematicians out there?
