"Need help with symptoms but no one will listen"

About: St. Michael's Surgery

(as the patient),

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia several years ago but my symptoms seem more like dercums disease but because of the fibro diagnosis the doctor seems reluctant to test or consider for anything else.

I think this is wrong and upset that the doctors just seem to want to blame my symptoms on a previous diagnosis which may well be a wrong diagnosis rather than refering me to someone who could look into my symptoms further.

no pain relief they have given me have worked at all.

I am in extreme pain, think constantly about ending my life to escape this hell

Any activity makes these nodules that already hurt swell up and intense burning stabbing, pulsating aching pains seem to radiate from these nodules in my thighs and spread all over. 

i have memory problems, get migraines, extreme fatigue, anxiety, weight gain that i cant seem to lose, bloating. and diagnosed with diabetes  and have 2 dvts.

I wish the doctors would listen to me and refer me to somebody who can help me.
