It's 2020 and we are still discovering new particles in the body. Just goes on to show how little we understand about how the body works, despite all the advances we have made.

Considering the above I find it quite arrogant for laypeople, doctors, scientists, etc. to claim medically unexplained diseases like CFS are not real or just 'psychogenic'.

Maybe those diseases are medically unexplained not because of psychogenicity, but rather because medicine explains nowhere close to 100% of medical issues and illnesses?

I honestly think medical science only understands about 10% of what really goes on in the body so far except like you say they can't admit that to themselves so instead they make it the patient's fault.
