How do I get a doctor to take me seriously? I need Help! Hi, im a 30 yr old Male with no history of heart problems in my family, am slightly overweight by about 20 or 30 pounds. I have had recurring troubles wit Anxiety issues over the last several years which is why doctors dont take me seriously not realizing i am in a happy place in my life right now....except for the pain and tingly feelings along with other symptoms. I havent felt quite right for over a year now with recurring rib pain (which translates into chest pain after a while) that feels like it goes right up around the ribs and up my spine which causes some walking diffculty. Also I have had some bladder problems and my legs and shoulders are stiff constantly in these periods of pain.Dizziness has been a new symptom to pop up lately making me feel real strange as well. I have also developed a horrible heat intolerance so much so it makes it hard to do my job as a cook. Anyways these symptoms seem to come and go and are in the same place every time. I go to see my neurologist and he seems to just brush me off saying my MRI was clear 4 years ago and my cat scan which i had last year was clear as well. He has sent me for some sort of nerve test on my arm tho which couldbe a step in the right direction. I was just hoping for a second opinion -could this be MS? or could this be related to my Epilepsy that i have had since i was born and thought it was under control for all these many years...(sorry for not mentioning the Epilepsy sooner) What could be wrong with me? |

You certainly present an array of symptoms..I can only advise you to get a second opinion on this..With your history of epilepsy, which I can assume is why you see the neurologist, I would perhaps seek the advise of a Rheumotologist...These specialist deal with a varity of diseases...MS is one of their area's of expertise...Having said this, you must first find a physician who will indeed take you serious...If you continue to see a physician that you have little faith in, you will not feel safe with his or her care..Get that second opinion from a new physician...This may help with all the anxiety..Don't be intimidated by your physician...These symptoms are affecting your activities of daily living, which needs to be addressed...I hope this was helpful..Please, keep us posted..Good Luck to you and God Bless...
