Abby, why on earth would you feel humiliated. I think that your story, whilst a bit weird (as you said yourself), is extremely interesting.

My concern is that too many Doctors are thinking "psychogenic" or "all in your head", rather than looking for the real cause.

You clearly had a Doctor, who spent the time and energy to gently suggest psychogenic. I suspect that most Doctors do not have that sort of finesse. One of mine suggested it was in my head, and then promptly closed down and refused to discuss any further symptoms, which I considered, unlikely to have been psychogenic.

But everyone is different. I hope you remain well, and update us here from time to time if things change... for the better or worse.
