Instead of the window, why not smash your fist through the doctor?

I've been through this before, the this is about symptoms being brought on by the mind; it's usually just a bunch of bull. Doctors don't like to admit they don't know something, what's wrong with you, so they use the fallback that you have a problem, not an illness.

You deserve better! He's not the ONLY doctor in the world! Find a new one, who respects you and is going to stick beside you until (s)he knows what is wrong, treat your symptoms, schedule regular follow ups to see what develops, etc.

You are paying for a service and HE failed, NOT YOU!

Find the doctor who deserves your money!

It just infuriates me! I still invision going back to the doc who treated me like this and telling him what I think of him, then wounding him in a not-so-nice place!

You will probably go through moments of self-doubt, "what if he's right"; that happened to me. I realized, as you will, that you could not have made this up. (I knew nothing of MS, it's symptoms, but matched its symptoms better than any other illness.), etc. Try to waste as little time as possible on considering his diagnosis and move on to a doc who will spend time to notice you are physically ill and will not quit until he/she knows what that is.
