He told me to get off the internet and live my life. Very easy to say, a little harder to do, when one is experiencing "mystery symptoms"..........wonder if he could.

I share your frustration. I have had to ask my neuro to test for celiac, it never occurred to her. I saw the tests and she ordered half of them. I went to a GI and got the right tests. I guess I should ask my primary care about thyroid and glucose testing to see if I have thyroid problems or pre-diabetic problems. I aldo have a couple docs at Johns Hopkins who seem to think that when they can't figure out what's going on they just send me back to my primary doc and drop me instead of referring me to a peripheral nerve specialist.
