Unhappy Update

Soooooooo....I am officially frustrated!

I went to the Cardiologist who is very nice and took me seriously. He did an EKG which is normal and ordered an ECG the results of which I will get today by phone. He also wants me to wear a halter.

Then I went to see another Neuro b/c all of my other Drs keep saying it's a Neuro problem and I need a 2nd opinion. That was fine with me since the last time I saw her she sent me to the Psychiatrist under suspicion of depression. Which Mind you I feel like I would have every right to BE if I actually were, but I am not. So I go in and for once I am actually having symptoms. I walk in and the office asst. can tell that I am "just not there". By the time we are walking to the exam room my leg weakness if visible. He asks why I am walking that way. Why do they ask that? Isn't the answer "b/c I can't walk any other way?" So he wont look at the CD of the MRIs and CT Scan that I brought at all and insists that the report is enough. But what if the person who wrote the report made a mistake!?!? Nobody will double check. After listening and examining (briefly) and looking through ALL of my paperwork (including my spreadsheet of my daily condition with all of the dr visits, tests, results and everything organized in one place) and after grilling me over and over on the various symptoms of depression ( even though the Psychiatrist has already SAID I am not depressed and my illness is not derived from my psyche) he suggests that I take.... drum roll please... Prozak!

I am so at the end of my rope that I don't even want to talk to another Dr. Any one who can relate? Any suggestions?
