I’m not quite sure what you’re asking here. Do you want people interested in solving your particular problem? Solving the class of problems you’re in (probably not option)? Solving mysterious illnesses in general?
Are you wondering why there’s no one to hire? No one will help you for free? Not enough research money is spent on the topic?
Sure, all of those things. I think they are all related parts of what I’ve been wondering about, and are not as distinct as maybe you think. If I were to try to compress my main confusion, it’s something like: I see nerdy people spontaneously doing certain activities for fun, like doing math, programming, making and solving puzzle games, writing long blog posts about COVID origins, or whatever; why is it that almost no one spontaneously decides to try to solve mysterious chronic illnesses? Does thinking about mysterious chronic illnesses have some kind of barrier that repels people, and if so, are there ways to remove that barrier?
I wonder if, just like young people not thinking clearly about mortality, it’s just something healthy people don’t tend to think about, partly because it’s depressing.
(I’m also someone who got a lot more interested in this kind of thing after my own health issues)
