I literally had to go threw my own war with numerous MDs that would try to give me pain meds, antidepressants etc ANYTHING TO GET ME OUT OF THEIR FACE!I tried one time and then declined so then they started with muscle relaxers.This one MD had me on 4 muscle relaxers @ same time 
I lost all my friends I was the combat queen and hated everything
I had my family thinking I was on drugs
Then I finally got a MD to get me to a Neurologist to get the diagnosis...even thow I did have to fight with him for a little time...but we finally got the test and diagnosis from my neuropsyc test.I was so close to even getting swept under the rug with neuro because of my attitude
Then we get diagnosis and some friends,family and neurologist said this diagnosis explains it all!
And thanks for this year and half war I have PTSD!
Do not worry if people do not understand.Just focus on you!
