I too had some bad experience with dr's. I felt like they did not care.
I felt like they thought I was crazy. However, thanks to our family
dr.that has been so patience, understanding and has done alot of
research on his own the finally have come up with some.
The family dr has suspect that I had PCOS for the last 2 years. I know
that I had inferility problems along with being overweight. But my
ob/gyn still does not belive that I have pcos. In return I get sent
back to the family dr who then send me to an endro. This is where we
have finally got some answer. I did not have all the details from the
endro but what I know right now is that I do have an insulin related
problem and something.
Anyway my advice to you is keeping persuing the issue with the dr.
Eventhough you might some of the mad they will get the point. Also, you
might what to see and endro for this. So far this has helped me.
