When your doctor doesn't know: don't give up if your illness is a mystery

Doctors sometimes find it hard to make an accurate diagnosis for patients who are sure something is wrong with them. In these situations, individuals must take it to themselves to find the real cause of the problem. They should not be intimidated by their doctors and seek the advice of other physicians. They should also educate themselves about their health.
