@helena4000 I think it's because most general doctors only know about common ailments people have; common cold, allergies, injuries, etc. When it comes to something mysterious, they don't want to dig deeper to help find a cause because they just want to help conditions that they have general knowledge of. Specialists can definitely help more, but only in that one field that they're in. I know how it is though; my doctor barely ruled out a couple of things then just said anxiety. Here we are, being our own doctors!
