I knew something was really wrong with me so I went to the doctor. I hadn't seen him for two years because I needed that referral to my psychiatrist and he was baffled with what may be wrong with me. The only thing that showed up in the lab was a vitamin D deficiency. And so the first thing that comes out of his mouth is to ask me what my psychiatrist and psychologist think about what I have been going through. I really wanted to hit him LOL seriously I haven't seen the guy in two years and he thinks I'm making up being sick because I mentally ill? Wouldnt have been in his office long before that? I immediately went to another Doctor Who ran more labs and discovered I had hyper reactive hypoglycemia.

Yep, I've had the same problem several times. If the doctors don't see an obvious problem, then they think it is all my imagination. I know psychological state does affect physical state, so it isn't entirely silly, but also I think it gives the doctors an excuse to do nothing.
