What type of doctor should I see?!
Question: What type of doctor should I see?
I have seen multiple neurologists, a gastroenterologist, and my pediatrician. I have been diagnosed with migraines (3-5 a week). Irritable bowel syndrome (nausea, vomiting, cramping) sometimes associated with migraines sometimes not. Along with the nausea also comes with a flushing feeling most of the time. I also get severely light-headed upon standing, and I have fainted multiple times.
I have had chest pains and had ekg's done and everything came back normal. I also have many minor muscle and joint aches.
I am currently off migraine meds because none of them gave significant improvement without debilitating side effects. I take Vyvanse for add, and it seems to help somewhat, but at a dose that gives me maximum help, I suffer from the side effects.
So, if anyone could diagnose me that would be great, but more realistically, I'm wondering where I should go next on my tour of doctors? I'm thinking of going to the mayo clinic in Chicago as my next step.
Thanks for any help, as my family and I are at a loss right now.

I'm sorry for your frustration. I can't imagine how you can function properly with all of that going on...Since you're running out of options...have you tried natural remedies such as AloeElite? It helps with digestive disorders, including IBS. Even if migraines are not associated with the IBS, at least you can relieve yourself of the digestive disorder. I attached a resource, hope it helps, good luck!

I think you need to find a diagnostician someone like House on telly who can look at all your symptoms rather than the few that they are interested in

you should try to free your positive energies - pray (only if you really believe) or look for a yoga master.
I'd find an osteopath. They are trained to treat the whole patient. It sounds like you need it.
go to local gp.
