Hi asdf,
I'm sorry you feel that you are being shuffled around. I share your sentiment, or at least shared it till I visited Mayo. Although, I didn't get any treatment there, but I was at least relieved to know what exactly was my problem and what are the options available to me. I know we have chatted about this before but I would urge you to give mayo a shot. The doctors there see patients from around the world and most if them are difficult cases. They are equipped with a large repertoire of cases and databases to treat hard problems. If you feel that you have indeed exhausted your options there, please don't throw in the towel before going to mayo. I'm not sure if your insurance will cover out of tri state area hospitals, but they do accept all major insurance plans. Mine was pretty much everything covered and I paid only about $100 for my visit. Again, I had no surgery/tests done there except for some blood work.
Please think about it.
