I could have written this; it is a familiar story. I'm so sorry you are needing to deal with this. I completely understand the "It's all in your head" attitude. Yes, actually, it is, but no, my whole body feels this from my glitchy, hurting head to my non working toes. Ugh! I'm broke, homeless, and tired. I want to, need to, work, I need a place to live, I need a neurologist who won't blow me off as a psych case. Is there a treatment that works? Is there something I should be doing to help my brain and body work better? The progression of symptoms is disconcerting, but I don't even have a diagnosis, so I don't know what to do nor what to expect. Can I make an appointment at a Mayo Clinic and find help, or is that a waste of time and money? Thankfully, I have medicare. I can't imagine going through this without insurance. And the guy who ran me down on my bike (2 years ago) with his bike is going on with his happy life. Yes, I forgive him, but why wasn't he held accountable; he even admitted fault. Where do I find a good neurologist? I'll drive there...after I get my car out of the ice. I can't dig out because I'm way too unstable to stay upright on the ice. Where do I find a PT who does counterstain? Okay, enough of this pitiful diatribe. I want to be able to come back here to tell you about all the things that are helping. Please forgive the rant. I hope you find healing and contentment. Time for me to watch my online church. Have a wonderful day.

@yayamary - so sorry to hear that you've gotten the "it's all in your head" response and that you feel neurologists have gone to the psych response.

It would indeed be helpful to get a diagnosis. To check out if you could been seen at Mayo Clinic, you can fill out the information at this link

If you have your car stuck in ice right now, is there someone you could call from your city or county to have a response crew go get you out?
