That would be my first choice, but unfortunately, that's part of my
problem. In my area (or, at least I'm assuming its because of where I
live) the doctors don't make it a habit to listen. I was in my primary
physician's office a few days ago. He was constantly cutting me off
before I could finish what it was I was trying to explain. I have
almost the same problem with my cardiologist. Both will just look at
the data, tell me whats wrong with me, and not listen to anything else
I have to add, like information about previous history.

I'm not particularly looking for a diagnosis, or even anything
concrete. I'm just hoping to get other views on it, so that next time I
go in (or switch doctors) I can just hand them a list of plausible
ideas, and maybe get them to sit still and listen for more than 15
seconds.
