    I decided to stop going to the doctors very soon because they were telling me it is just stress, take some rest etc. (collapsing, daily fainting, vertigo, eyes pain, muscle spasms, swollen lymph nodes, palpitations, brain pressure, tinglings, etc etc etc).
    But after half year of having these problems and getting worse and worse even though I was trying to function somehow, a friend told me to visit his good friend neurologist, who was supposed to be very good, and set an appointment with her. I gave it a big hope, I went to another city to her, took a train despite of all these problems, came to her office and she did not even stand up from her chair to look at me!
    She only listened to my story and told me that she also has a little bit of twingle here and there and does not run to a doctor with that and sent me home. I asked her to give me at least an MRI of spine to rull out any serious problem, and she said no, just because I do not think it is necessary.
    I was so angry, so mad, so disappointed, cried in a train back home, and I was thinking like does any good doctot even exist??? Completely lost any trust for doctors. Now I am trying to gain it back but just going to a doctor is stressfull event and I am always like - well doc, I don't know, I just don't trust what you are saying to me... sorry...
