Hi @burt, it sounds like you have been through the wringer with the tests. I know that must be frustrating having all that done and each time hoping they find the answer. Have you been tested for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS)? I only thought of it because of some of the symptoms you mentioned are symptoms for POTS. I've also read that POTS is often misdiagnosed.

What Is POTS and Why Haven't More People Heard of It?
The condition, often misdiagnosed as anxiety, can be debilitating and demoralizing.

Do you have an appointment scheduled with the new team you were referred to by your neurologist? I hope they are able to find an answer for you soon Will you let us know what you find out?

One of the tools I use when I'm researching my health issues and I'm not able to find a lot of information is Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/). You can find a lot of research information and you can also sort if by date to see the latest articles.

Thanks John,

I do have some appointments but they are a long way off.

POTS has been mentioned as well. Nothing confirmed yet.
