Curious. Did a doctor actually tell you that it was all in your head", or did they imply it by speaking about "anxiety", "stress", etc.? My experience and what I read leads me to believe having a PCP ith a commitment to "figuring things out" is important; otherwise if testing yields no clear diagnosis/pathway one is literally left to start over.. My PCP retired and with searching for a replacement make known what my major concerns are. The 1st two I met did not respond to my major concerns; but seem to follow a "new patient" process focused on meds, transferring records, etc. I don't expect any one to have much insight into long-covid/ post vaccine complications, but recognize in terms of concern and quality of life, these challenges are foremost to a patient. I hope that collectively more docs see the need to pursue where to direct patients if they are not inclined to take the journey with them. In the meantime, I schedule my own specialist appts...
