A beloved English teacher of mine was diagnosed with MS after years of problems. She was jubilant… “I TOLD them I was sick!” (the rest of us were devastated)
There are many cases on record of patients who had persistent symptoms but kept being reassured by their regular doctors (ordinary GPs) that they couldn’t find anything wrong. And they were being honest. They couldn’t find anything wrong. But specialists could. Nobody can be expected to know everything, but everyone should be humble enuf to say “I myself don’t know, but I can aim you at someone who might be able to help.”

The cramping and headache are due to all that paperwork you did in the waiting room…!
