Idealist,

Your 'answers' ARE out there! Believe in yourself, and don't give up. I was fortunate that I came across a group of doctors who took me seriously....after many, many, years.

I had been suffering with these outrageous headaches that wouldn't quit, and one of the doctor's, on a lark, decided to checked my 'prothrombin time', and a bunch of other stuff that went with it. It all came back abnormal.

The next doc was a hematologist, but he blew me off saying the range was not that far off. Too bad I had a series of small strokes within 2 months of that blood work. I was diagnosed with the 'antiphospholipid syndrom' and put on blood thinners for a while then changed to daily aspirin.

My story keeps going...another time.

The best to you in your journey of diagnoses.
