I've had those same doctors (endos, neuros, family doctors, etc) who have dismissed me and said all I needed was a psychiatrist. Maybe so, but I still wanted the tests run just in case there was something else wrong with me. The MRI did show a pituitary tumor, but a doctor at Johns Hopkins assured me that was not causing my symptoms and I believe him. But, like I said before, you need to have those tests so you aren't wondering whether or not there is something wrong. Been there done that. I know what you're going through and I still believe there might be something else going on, but I've had all of the tests and nothing comes up. I did eventually find a doctor who was open minded and who pretty much ordered any test I wanted. Maybe you'll have to do the same just for peace of mind.
