Unhappy Despairing

Yesterday I got to see my 2nd Neuro. She listened more than the first one did, did all the usual arms out touch your nose tests.

Then wrote up that there was nothing seriously wrong with me, but as I was out of breath from doing the tests, she prescribed Mensendieck therapy for my breathing. Her conclusion being that my poor breathing was causing the muscle weakness and pain.

Despair and depression are setting in, has anyone any advice. She didn't even want to discuss my worsening DV, because it is not her department. It seems that Dutch Health is compartmentalised to such an extent that unless you fit in one box (specialism) only, you have no chance.
