Laurie, I dont want to sound rude or anything like that, but, it could be your age.? They might thing that there is not a reason to diagnose or anything else because of the possibility of menopausewithin a few years.? Thats not my belief but that may be what wave length the docs are on. Hope you find someone to do a lap and help. Good Luck!!
