@change25 It sounds like you got your doctor to hear you, asked the right questions and gave him the info he needed to start the searching. Good for you! Sounds good to me that he realizes he and you need more input and several minds working on this.
As I suggested before, take a deep breath and stay the focused person you are. You are getting it done and finding important answers. And, you are seeing doctors now, not in months. So, all this is working toward answers, getting to the best place and best specialists. He's consulting with a neurologist, so I hope that means you will soon be referred to him or someone for a work-up.
I believe after you take care of your health you will have the best job come your way. And, then continue your studies as well. It's hard to refocus on a completely different direction, but you are thinking clearly and facing these challenges. I'm impressed you are handling all this so well, you found us and got the support you needed and some information to guide your steps.
Keep us informed as you get more questions and more answers. Research, but be cautious to follow John's lead. He's very careful to only use reliable health sources. Stay focused, my friend, and God bless you. May He give you less pain, the people who will guide your journey to the best outcome. elizabeth
