Hang in there and I hope you find someone who is willing to work with you.

yes to all, I haver Kaiser Permanente which is pretty big, and they ran b12 (twice), sugar, and about 20-25 other different things. Everything came back normal.
A phys med doc gave me Nortriptaline on thursday for Fibromyalgia even though she said that I dont have any of the major symtoms (the tender spots) but just wanted to make sure. I am soooo tired of all this guessing and cost. I d get fired if I guessed how to do my job!
The MRI was just of the lower back because thats were my pain was initially. The day before is when the numbess in my legs started.
I keep telling these people that if they dont help me find out what this is soon, I will end up in a wheel chair!
Thank you so much for your advice.
