It's very nice to meet you! I had to drop in and say hello since I'm from VA also. And just like you, I have a condition which has not yet been diagnosed even after five years. I really hope that you have a lot more luck than I have, but the truth is that I waited six months once for an appointment at MCV/UVA, hoping that since it was a medical university they would take an interest in my unusual case. Instead I got to talk to one doctor for fifteen minutes, and was then shown the way out the door. Some of the other specialists I have been seeing have told me that right now MCV/UVA is in a real mess. I have no idea whether that is true or not, but I thought I would pass it on. In the meantime I wish you the very best, and hope you find out what is wrong with you very soon!
