Default suggestions please...

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
