That is exactly how doctor's can be.. Have you had the tests done? If so, get the actual tests themselves in hand and start going to different doctors. There are few good doctors left, though I don't know why. The process of proper diagnosis can take literally years, but it could also save your life. I understand your frustration. Subjective exploration should be done only when all objective avenues have been taken and then one must always question the veracity of the conclusions either way. The tricky part is that a doctor must subjectively view the objective data.

I know about that expense. The medical industry, like so many others, is profit driven.
I do not know much about the medical field from an education standpoint, so I do not feel comfortable giving advice other than taking the tests to different doctor's and that your symptoms can be indicative of circulatory problems. You did an important part with getting the tests done. In my experience, the "head" of various departments tend to be very good at what they do, even if they are very terse or abrupt in their bedside manner. Some local magazines can also list "top doctors" in the area, and depending on the publication, can be very helpful in locating someone worth their salary.
Sometimes the weight in life can become very great, but life is a team effort. If you did not see it already, I am on the same team and am here for you even if I may not say things that you like or that you agree with. Even when we are abandoned by those around us, there are others that are standing alongside in other ways and stand firm and unwavering. Your story mimics my own quite closely, though I am not dealing with psychiatric issues. I am not like-minded, but take solace in that I care, even if we have never met.
Do not feel alone.
Send a u2u any time, my friend.

Do you have any occurrences in your life that could lead to the belief that you could be chipped? A bump, or bruise that shows up without cause? An itch.
