My situation is the same regarding the doctors I see and going to ER after hours. I'm disgusted with two years of agony, suffering etc yet no real help and still no accurate diagnosis. Fed up. I feel like I'm slowly dying from my progressive symptoms YET doctors are oblivious to it.

@joannemm30809 before i was diagnosed i hated going to the ER. The doctors there are really focused on big emergencies. I was finally able to get an MRI, but no one said or did anything. On my last trip to the ER, i was totally non-responsive and near death. When questioned about his lack of actions, his comment was, “well she is 69, you know.” He was advised by U of Colorado hospital to start steroids, which he did, thank heavens.
There is so much new literature about AD , but none of it gets to the doctors who see patients. Frustrating!
