I have the same problem.  These doctors just had good grades, got into medical school and passed exams in my opionion!  They have no creative thinking, no openess to anything that wasnt taught to them.  I feel like the medical community is stagnating and they are not going to find anything new because they refuse to listen to the patient and make new connections that woudl lead them to finding causes and cures.  We have to be very careful not to spend years trapped inside of thier simple minded, lazy, diagnosis' - they make us wait until we are 60 and we have problems, - no preventative care at all...

keep fighting, and keep going to doctors until you find one willing to do the tests you want done.  I have had doctors so angry just for asking them to do bloodwork!  Typically the symptoms are not even there when you finally get the appointment!

oh you know. I forgot to mention the most important thing: My mom has the same symptoms as you do, and has had them for years.  She was diagnosed with MS, with the brain scan and spinal tap, and the medications did her more harm than good.  Recently they found out that she had a very low B12 level, that coused all of her problems, and that she had it for years undetected!  I went online and looked this up, and sure enough, they mis-diagnose MS for chronic lack of B12-all the time!  Now she has to have B12 shots every week, and she is doing better, she thougth that she was dying from just the symptoms you have.  Unfortunatley, she is unwilling to give up on this MS diagnosis, which is just an easy way of them saying that they have no idea what is wrong with you.  Needless to say, if the doctors would have done a B12 test on her years ago she wouldnt have had the extensive nerve and joint damage to her body as she has now from no B12 absorbtion.  If you havent has one, ask your doctor to give you one.

NO LEUKEMIA, ya hear? it's not! you'll feel better soon!
I'm sorry about how bad the experience was, but it's over now. You're safe and back to our silly forum where you can take your shoes off, grab a muffin and relax. Ok, i'm making up this fantastic "Admiral's Club" sort of lounge, but hey, it's our forum and we can make it how we want it to be!
Cheer up, swetie! maybe i'll dance for you like i do for my cats? Jen said excercise was good, so since i'm a slob, i started dancing for my cats with my Ipod. They usually run away in fear, i need to work on my moves....
Hugs!
