Don't let 'em blow you off! It's frustrating sometimes dealing with doctors who want go for the easy dx rather than actually work to find out what's really going on. Have they checked your heart/arteries at all? Problems in that area have totally different sx in women than they do in men ~ found that out the hard way..And just because you've been dx'd with arthritus in your neck doesn't mean they can ignore all your other symptoms. Sorry for the soapbox moment ..Hope you find out what's up so you can get some relief!

I totally agree with Polar. Keep pursuing it. A good PCP will help you through the dx process and is a great place to start. I wouldn't hesitate to get another opinion from another internist and/or PCP and even consider switching.
