Unless your condition is obvious or catastrophic, you're SOL with doctors. If they do not immediately know the diagnosis they either guess or decide you are just a complainer. Your description of symptoms means nothing. They do not research anything if they do not know it immediately. I have narcolepsy and was able to diagnose myself off Google after every doctor had failed. I finally went to a sleep specialist at Stanford and he confirmed with testing.
