After more than 70 medical appointments and tests since 2020, I am completely baffled as to why Mayo won't take me. It is hard to articulate how frustrated I am and how alone I feel.
My highest priority is diagnosing why I've had constant diarrhea and occasional vomiting for more than 2 years, and how that might relate to unexplained nerve pain, numbness in extremities, nearly blacking out over and over. I have a plan of action for the breast cancer and am completely satisfied with my doctors and my surgeon, I do, however, think it will be tough getting through surgery and radiation with the violent GI issues I have, so diagnosing that issue seems like the priority to me.
Are any of the options you have recommended focused on diagnosis?
