A couple of comments:
First, when doctors accuse the patient of being a hypochondriac, it just means that the doctors don't know what the problem is, and, being doctors, the fault must lie elsewhere--with the patient. So it is your fault that they don't know what is wrong with you. Sweet, huh?
Second, with the type of illness you are describing--Lyme disease, CFS, FMS etc you need a particular type of doctor. One who isn't a skeptic. You need a doctor who specializes in these types of conditions. If you can find a CFS or FMS doctor in your area, they will be able to do the type of testing necessary to determine what is going on. You might want to visit the site beatcfsandfms.com or it might be beatfmsandcfs.com or maybe .org. anyway it is a great site and will help put you on track.
I've been on Selegiline and doubt your symptoms have to do with this, but I'm not a doctor.
