When you go in to see a new doctor explain your entire situation including exactly what you've written above along with how it has affected you. Tell them that you are looking for a doctor that is willing to work with you because you are desperate for help. I have made appts. with several doctors at the same time (after my deductible was met) and told them I was going to see a few other doctors and was basically interviewing them. I explained that I no longer want to be strung along or looked down upon and then asked if they were willing to help me. I know it's hard to take on any more stress on top of just trying to survive the symptoms every day but remember, you are your best advocate. You will never get anywhere in the medical world unless you push.

I have never sued anyone in my life but I think you have a few really good lawsuits on your hands. You may want to talk to a malpractice lawyer. Also, if I were you I would also contact the Commissioner of Insurance in your state and file a few complaints against the doctors. I'm considering doing the same things. You may want to contact Nicolas Argy I mentioned in the last response. He is a radiologist and a medical malpractice lawyer. He has a few other titles under his belt at well. He may be able to steer you in the right direction or at least a little advice. Google patient advocate in your area as well. You have to pay them but they really dig into your records, make phone calls, and get things done for you.
