Sounds like you have had some difficult times! Not enough to be sick...but to have to deal with all the conflicted egos in small town medical community can be awfully draining and wastesful for you ...the patient!

Hope you can find someone to be with you when you have all your tests. Someone who could drive to/from and just be there for support would be a huge help for you.

Pls, keep us updated on how you make out. Hoping for the best,
Sue
