@acid2come i really agree with @johnbishop about going to a large medical center and writing down what you’ve experienced. Write down when things started and what you were doing. Make a list of types of doctors you’ve seen and what tests you’ve had. When you get an appointment state facts and your feeling, but leave out opinions of local doctors. This is what I had to do. My autoimmune specialist is in Denver but I get my infusion treatment and MRIs locally. The doctors are great at communicating! Do you have a medical center within a 2hr drive so you could try this?
@acid2come- Good morning. I agree with John too. Write down your story as simply as possible, not leaving out any important facts. Here is a site to help with other questions:

I read your post from last night and I hope that you are a bit more hopeful this AM.
Since this has happened has your husband purchased special hazmat masks for his work?

If it were me, I would try to keep it simple, maybe your worst symptom from all you’ve had when it started and that it started after helping your husband who was working on an engine that was running - mentioning that you breathed in a lot of exhaust.
