Not being able to "debug" this problem is absolutely maddening to me. Being aware that I'm fully delusional to think this, I feel I should be able to figure this out.

Let me give you just a little insight into my experience with the integrative medicine doc I went to...

She spent a LOT of time with me (as did my neuro), so as far as gathering information and listening, she was great. I was also generally pleased with the tests she recommended as she was thinking outside the box. Now that I've learned more, however, if a "food sensitivity" test is recommended, look into the science behind it before spending the money. It's questionable.

I tried both acupuncture and manual therapies with her, but got no relief. The only other recommendation she had was for a two-on-one consultation with another woman and herself. I can't remember the term she used for this other woman's specialty, but it was rather "out there" getting more into the Eastern medicine/spiritual realm of things. I opted out of that. I do have an open mind, but so far, none of the Eastern medicine things I've tried have helped me one iota.

Based on her profile, she looked like the perfect choice to help with this, and it was beyond her.

Oh, I should also mention there's the ever-present offering of supplements...expensive ones. They weren't over-priced based on prices I see on the net for the same product, but they were ridiculously expensive. She had recommended one for my liver since one of my liver enzymes was low, and I think a bottle of that was $80! I didn't ask the price before agreeing to it. I nearly died when I saw the credit card slip.
