Hi all
![]() I could use some suggestions about a situation with my doctors. I have a symptom (numbness, tingling and muscle fatigue in my face). My primary care doctor said to ask the neurologist and rheumatologist. My Neurologist says it is stress/anxiety. My Rheumatologist says it is stress/anxiety. My psychairtist says it's not stress/anxiety. Unfortunately, this psychaitrist is not a great as my old one - he will not give me a magic letter to bring to my other doctors to tell them "this is not stress". So I am stuck in this loop - the body docs say it is all in my head. The head shrinking doc says it is a body thing not a head thing. I honestly don't care if it is stress or body - I just want the symptom to get treatment of some sort. I tend to agree with the psychaitrist because the symptom does not change with my stress/anxiety levels. How do I get out of this loop? Any wise words of wisdom or suggestions? Thanks all, Liz
