Hi

Has any of your Doctors suggested having a medical evaluation done  by a neurologist  to sort out and identify the medical problems?  This would help in deciding on a course of therapy that might help resolve the issues and or help towards determining disabilities issues or vocational counseling. Your treating doctor, or even your family doctor should be able to refer you to a neurologist. 

In the mean time it might help if you take the time to write down a problem list of all medical problems.  Draw a simple body shape, then divide the body into sections.  For each section write down
problems that affect each area.  This way your doctor will have a starting place and you'll be less likely to forget to mention something that needs to be mentioned.  Your family will be able to assist you because sometimes they will see problems that the patient doesn't see.

I know that this must be very difficult for you.  You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
