Hi, I completely understand how you feel it has taken me nearly a year and a half to be diagnosed and all my doctor does is prescribe medication to help me sleep. I have refused all conventional medication other than diazepam when my muscles are so tense that I cannot move. I personally have found that pain killers and nerve treatments have had no effect on my progress on beeting the condition. I am now staring Osteopath and Acupuncture treatments to see if they help. I feel my condition was created by a lower back injury. Hope this helps!
