I have been begging doctors for answers for almost 20 years

You could ask to see a different doctor in the area that they are referring you to. And I do hope there is someone equally as talented as the one you don’t wanna see. I understand what you are going through and I had something similar many years. 30 years later, I was looking back at things and I realized the things that was bothering me was things they didn’t know how to treat or didn’t know what it was. The medical profession is learning every day and are understanding things better every day and have come to understand what some other patients were talking about and are much better at diagnosing certain types of diseases or injuries..
Do what you think is best for yourself. But remember, they say medicine is in its infancy So they are learning
I wish you the best

@minnesota10 So true, Minnesota. It is maddening, Stylist. I think that many of us older folks suffer from something the doctors don’t understand yet and have not yet identified. And sometimes our symptoms seem to present in a vicious cycle.
One doctor I have had told me outright that I have something but he can’t identify it yet (when I had active Lyme). Luckily another doctor diagnosed it. A recent doctor told me that he thought whatever had caused a whole body rash was gone but once your body gets inflamed, it is hard, and takes a long time, to turn off the inflammation. The last insult is that, several times, the medicines that were prescribed for one condition sparked another condition that I otherwise would probably not have.
All I can recommend is to eat good food, stay hydrated, exercise and get enough sleep. That is all any of us can do. Research any meds that are prescribed for side effects.
