I've been to 6 different doctor's and I still can't get an MRI what am I doing wrong

Posted , 1 user is following.

ok, in 2012 they found i had cerellbelar tonsillar ectopy 3mm. for years it didnt give me too many problem. but i knew nothing about the disorder, i was never told i needed to go see a neurosurgeon. nothing. i wasnt given any information on the herninated discs in my neck and back, the degenative disc disease. so, being ignorant i didnt do the internet research because i wasnt that big into computers then like i am now. anyways. in may 2018, i fainted and headbutted the footboard of my bed. didnt hurt anything, no bruises or anyyhing broke.so i thought. that bump to the head started a chain reaction of symptoms. ive been to 6 differnt doctors and not one of them have listened to me. i even went by what the specilaist nurse advised me to do and schedule an appointment with a primary doctor(what am i, 6 years old why do i need a primary doctor) so i did. requested an mri, i needed to have one so that i can update my old one from 2012 and so that i can get in to see a specialist. i thought everything was going smoothly until she stepped out of the room to speak with her supervisor, i knew then i made a mistake. turned out that she was in her first year as playing doctor. and apparently her first patient. she came back in about 15 minutes later to tell me what i had was normal. IN WHAT WORLD IS THIS NORMAL?! then everyone on this planet should have their brains falling out of their skulls and then we can call it normal. well, she ignored me about my heart, muscle weakness, depression, she did check my lower back onky to give me a vaccine that i should of never recieved because i have an untreated and unstabke neurological disorder. didnt matter to them about the side affect i went through all weekend long. the whole office went home early that day and the nurse answering the phone dam sure wasnt going to call anyone or be any help. then i found another doctor i thought might help. she listened to me about my head and back. she understood. again so i thought. i fainted 3 times in one day last week and i sent her a message about needing to see a specialist sooner than what we spoke about. she tells me that her remembered that we spoke about a specialist but i wouldnt be fainting from my lower back problem. go to an er and they can help me cause a specialist could take weeks. so once again my feelings are hurt. no body is listening. what am i doing wrong? what do i need to say? there are no specialist in mississppi for chiari malformation. keep in mind. im at my breaking point and im giving up. i just keep thinking there is just one other way.
