Hello @johnwes5819

I hear your frustration. It sounds as if you are doing all that you can do to advocate for yourself. Your situation is difficult because of insurance restrictions.

Have you considered obtaining a new insurance plan? I'm not sure if you mentioned your age, but if you are on Medicare you might be able to change insurances at the end of the year and get a plan that would offer you more flexibility in choosing doctors and health care systems. The new plan might be more costly, but if you manage the increased cost for one year, it might help you to get a correct diagnosis and thereby be worth the extra cost.

Also, Mayo Clinic has a symptom checker. Here is a link to Mayo's website, https://www.mayoclinic.org/. Just type in "symptom checker" in the search box and it will take you to the right place.

Also, Mayo Clinic has affiliated hospitals throughout the country. These hospitals have the ability to consult with Mayo specialists and to get another opinion on complex cases. You might call Mayo in Minnesota and find out if there are any such affiliated health care centers in your area.

Also, in order to further your research and education, Mayo offers many email newsletters. I subscribe to several. Here is a link where you can sign up for different newsletters, https://www.mayoclinic.org/medical-professionals/publications/sign-up-email-newsletters.

I'm glad that you continue to post and let me know of your progress. I look forward to hearing from you again.

Will you keep posting as you search for help?
