I Have Been Seeing Dr.'s Since I Was About 11;

I have been seeing Dr.'s since I was about 11; it first started with fainting/dizzy/shaking episodes. They said I had hypoglycemia. Then later about 16 they had me on insulin pills and then took me off, plus I was having massive amount of spinal pain, abdominal pain, chest (rib cage) pain, and I always had some kind of throat infection. During a car accident in 2011 they found lumps in my throat and told me to have them examined. They said I have thyroid nodular goiter. The problem is I have so many nodules that even the person ultra sounding them said it was ridiculous yet no dr. seems to think there is much to worry about? I have had Dr.'s arguing and fighting over what to do- I went to a proctologist cause I also have abnormal bowel movements that can range anywhere from white, mucus, bloody, green, and they are always pebble like no matter how much fluid intake I increase ( I almost feel sick from drinking water). I have changed my diet so many times it is ridiculous. I am always tired, fatigued, in pain, have uncontrolled sweating, and the list could go on. Every time I try to go to a dr.'s office- they seem to want to think I am crazy or having some sort of panic attack when I am just trying to figure out what is wrong with my body and wish they would stop ASSUMING that I am just having some sort of panic attack or whatever. I have had a pain mng. dr tell me I should go to a mayo clinic, but there are none near me and the only one that is doesn't accept my ins. I go to the ER, but they do not do much ( except a couple of times I kept having EKG tests done and they wouldn't tell me why)- they just refer me to some OTHER dr. I do not understand. I at times feel like I am almost dying or something- my friends and family look at me and ask me if I am OK- apparently I look ill- Dr.'s seem unconcerned with anything I try to explain or figure out. I am not trying to tell them how to do their job, but I feel like I am being patient profiled and pushed aside when my body keeps sending off massive warning signals I just cannot ignore or everything I have tried does not work. I do not know what to do anymore. I feel like my dr.'s just want me to die in my home. I am 27 now and have been dealing with massive symptoms that everything online tells me to see a dr- find immediate medical care- etc. Yet everywhere I seem to go- no one will do tests or help me. b
