Unfortunately, I understand AND believe you. I have a hard-to-diagnose condition that took me 16 doctors and 15 years to resolve.
Many doctors have such huge egos that they assume that if THEY don’t know the answer, that there ISN’T an answer, and therefore it’s "all in your mind."
Don’t put up with this poppycock. Find another neuro whose knowledge base is bigger than his ego.

You should switch to another doctor until you find one who believes you. There really are good doctors out there. You don’t have to suffer with a doctor who doesn’t respect you.

i dont have an answer but i have often wondered if i have ms. i have a lot of your symptoms, and recently i was put on blood pressure meds. my grandmother had it. Im only 24 and i dont think my dr’s take me serious either. they’ve tested for a lot of things but dont come up w much. especially with the pain part.
