I don't have any medical advice about your condition but I can tell you it makes a difference to be proactive. If a doctor doesn't listen to you and try to resolve the problem and test out all explanations then change doctors. Too often we just trust that all doctors are equal and know best but in reality they often try the easy or most common solution instead of taking a deep look. Unfortunately it is the patient who has to be willing to speak up, research, ask for tests, and demand answers. For example, I had a friend that suffered from terrible migraines for years. She knew something wasn't right. Doctors acted like she was just complaining or exaggerating, some put her on medications for depression. Finally, after two years she insisted they do an MRI and in depth testing. When the doctor ordered the test with his nurse she overheard him using a condescending tone and rolling his eyes and he told his nurse it was because she had "little headaches". Yeah well guess what.....she had a tumor on her pituitary gland that was so bad that if it got any more pressure then she could go blind at any moment. They rushed her into brain surgery within 3 days. So my advice is this: Research, Be informed, Question Everything, If a doctor doesn't listen Find another one! Don't be quiet and complacent.
