I have suffered with my body tremors for years and they can never find much with me either. It takes a toll on the mental health. It is truly frustrating that doctors don’t seem to crave enough knowledge to figure out what the heck is happening to people.
Honestly, you express my feelings exactly about the medical profession and their total disregard for our suffering. I’m thinking there aren’t enough people making enough loud noise and there isn’t enough money pouring into the coffers of the research community to make it worth their while.
I wonder how many people out there actually suffer from BFS and have no idea what they have. I suffered for many years seeing every sort of doctor imaginable and all but the last doctor (who I saw 2 months ago) told me they had never seen a patient with my symptoms and despite having me take every possible test they still had no name for my condition. What that tells me is that doctors these days want to fit everyone into a box so they can get you in and out within 10-15 minutes. God forbid your symptoms stymie them. Instead of trying to help you by doing a little research they just tell you there’s nothing wrong that they can see and they send you away without answers or hope. Or as in many cases, you are prescribed a drug to “calm” you. Thankfully I was never prescribed Xanax or anything like it. I will say that Gabapentin did help along with the other remedies I figured out on my own. See my original post for that formula, although I doubt it will be the solution for everyone.
