@ London - there's a clinic about 2 hours away from me, where I was supposed to go inpatient for a month - Riverview. I just couldn't handle the thought of being away for a month, plus could never afford it financially, and I'd have to get a new pdoc and T that the clinic provided.

The doctor that you went to sounds like an idiot - sorry. Can you maybe get your medical records from your previous doc to collaborate your dx? And show that to him. Sometimes a GP (Normal medical doctor) is a good starting point to get onto the right path and they can refer you to a pdoc. It's not going to be easy, and you're going to have to be patient; but we're here for you and are more than willing to offer support :-)
