My dad used to joke about how placebos helped my mom and older sisters many body ache complaints. I just thought severe pain was normal until I was diagnosed with autoimmune, MS and a few other things. Doctors told me for years it was just in my head and that I just needed medication for anxiety.

Proper medication and diet changes resolved pain and anxiety.

My mom and sisters all have same issues. Dad and doctors gaslight them and me for decades.

The highlight when I was in the ER coughing up blood. ER doctors explaining how I was faking it since my blood work was normal. Until chest X rays came back. Then doctor also went pale.
