No Doctor can figure out what is wrong with me

Your problem is seeing "a" doctor. Medicine has become very complex; I doubt any one person working alone can stay up-to-date. You would be wise to go to a group practice, such as the Mayo Clinic, or an academic medical center. I was once part-time research faculty in the Department of Ophthalmology at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. I learned a lot from case discussions at Department meetings.

Yes!You are correct.When my illness came on I told my Family a typical doctor would probably not be able to figure it out.I know what is going on in my body and what I am dealing with is very unusual.I need to meet with doctors who have seen something similar to what I have.The specialists I have met with are trying to help but a couple of them told me from the beginning that my case was way out of their league because they have not seen anything like it.Hopefully I can get into Mayo Clinic or Hopkins.Thankyou so much!
