Try to discuss the symptoms and how they changed. Focus on the exact symptoms now. I thought the history was very important too, but when you connect the dots for them, they discount the connection, because it is not their idea.

I am not just being negative. I am trying to help you get to being heard.
I am sorry that you feel so badly.
i dont know if the tuesday appt will be worth it, since she already dismissed it as a organic cause. and a specialist appt that is months away is just another one of her "its not a problem, its in your head". none of my symptoms subsided to normal one bit, they only go into a quiescent state, then come back more widespread or with a new symptom. At one point i lost almost all my smell, and getting strange sensations. The odd thing is that i dont have neuropathic symptoms like other people, such as consistent pain, numbness. At one point at the end of last year, i had a burning rash. The symptoms came all at once when i took the diphenhydramine 2 months ago. mostly its peripheral nerves that are affected, the ones that detects sensations. I do not have numbness or pain, just loss of internal sensations like my smell. She already blew off the other vitamin deficiency tests. I think i need to be retested for thyroid and glucose issues as well. or an possible MRI. They dispute that my smell loss is a result of neurological, i disagree since my smell loss coincides with my pins and needles neuropathy, "when i get an attack fo pins and needles, i can feel it in my nose(eventhough i loss sensation of air going through the nose. I will try to ask for an earlier appointment, for the specialist. She believes im psychosomatic.
