I went through a 10 year wild goose chase from one doctor to another, across 4 states, until last year. I felt something was wrong, but couldn’t get answers. Last year, I got a new insurance plan, and with that, I got a new doctor who ordered a full-spectrum blood test and diagnosed me with severe anemia. My iron levels were so low, just a notch above life-threatening.
That was treated, and wow… a heavy fog lifted from my head. Doctors have a very limited range of what they know, or what they remember from medical school. It’s unfortunately a hit and miss to get the right diagnosis and treatment for many conditions.
