I was just diagnosed yesterday after a year of being made to feel like a hypochondriac by two rude doctors and one well-meaning one who just thought I was depressed. I totally feel your pain (probably in more ways than one). I too was tested for 1001 things and spent literally thousands of dollars to be told nothing was wrong with me. The doctor I saw yesterday is my hero because now I know I am not crazy. Good for you to go to another doctor. If you know something is wrong, keep digging until you figure it out.
