Exactly. I agree totally with what you said. It saddens me greatly that so many doctors just seem nonchalant about how these debilitating symptoms have destroyed our lives. I'm fed up with them guessing at what's wrong where several doctors now have completely misdiagnosed me while others are way too quick to blame it ALL on anxiety and they want to put you on these nasty anti depressants that cause when more bad side affects. I'm NOT depressed, I have debilitating symptoms that have ruined my life for 2.5 years now. Far too many doctors will enter the exam room with their hand still on the door knob ready to leave the room withOUT really LISTENING to me and my symptoms. I stopped them quickly when they break out their Rx pad to write a anxiety prescription. I'm through with this lame ridiculous way of medicine in America.

I have heard hundreds of horror stories where patients just like me had horrible debilitating symptoms yet the doctors ears were turned off to hearing about the symptoms or they refused to really put much effort into digging deep into what it could really be and then years later after these patients have suffered they find out they really had cancer growing in their body whereby the time it was so advanced it was too late. These doctors need to open up their ears and stop over booking patients that they enter your room and within two minutes they're leaving your room because they're overbooked for the love of money. I'm sick of it

Are you in Charlotte NC? It sounds like you have my neurologist! I’m into thus 5+ yrs, 6 months of wheelchair at first, all sudden and undiagnosed. PT has helped a lot but I’m still disabled with walker and limited hands. I was found to have cancer 3 yrs later, but NOBODY tries to connect the dots with all my medical history items. As for antidepressants, I understand they supposedly have other medicinal benefits besides depression, but when I already struggle walking, I can ill-afford a drug related injury from falling because of dopiness!! Good luck with your journey too, and hope there are a lot of ideas from this forum that may help!
