Hi LT:
Well, you can't argue that you don't have symptoms, real symptoms. To me the question is why is the medical community so uninterested. Are you seeing the same doctors in the same clinic every time you go. If so, maybe a visit to a different clinic is in order, ie a 2nd opinion of sorts.

Do you have a long term history of going to the clinic on a frequent basis and then finding out nothing was wrong. If so, maybe you've earned a reputation as a hypochondriac and the doctors are now skeptical of everything about you.

None of us are doctors on this forum, so we can't give medical advice. But, what we can do is tell you what each of us had and what they did to treat it. Of course all patients are different, so they might not offer the same treatment to you, but something totally different.

Do you know anyone in the medical community personally, such that maybe you could discuss it off the record with them like maybe over a cup of coffee, the idea to see if you have a bad rep.

I'm 3 weeks new to the forum myself, so I don't have the experience to give you the answers you seek. I'm hoping others fill in those gaps.

good luck LT

Tony
