Adam,
I know you are really struggling right now, your posts are VERY clear about what is happening to you. I think you are probably smarter than a lot of the docs you come across (there are a lot of 'average' docs out there) I wish you could see my pdoc, he would talk to you and try to figure it out and know who was worth seeing in other specialties, but he is in WA.
Please bear with me, I couldn't help but find your story of the ER doc encounter amusing in a way. Many years ago my eye really hurt. It was the middle of the night, I went to the ER. I am sitting on the examining table and in shuffles, I mean SHUFFLES, the doc, in his socks, rubbing his eyes from sleep. He must have Just Woken Up. He looked in my eye...said, 'nothing there, I'll patch it and go see your eye doc tomorrow'. With the eye immobilized I go see the eye doc, he flips my lid with a q-tip and lifts out a bit of cinder (from the wood stove).When my kids were little I removed a lot of things from their eyes with that technique.
I can still see that ER doc in his socks. ;o)
