I'm sorry to hear about your frustrations. Our health system can be quite frustrating!
If you're not happy with your diagnosis or treatment, it's best to get a second opinion if possible. I'm not familiar with the ins and outs of medical records, so you may want to ask your doctor, or get a second opinion on even what to put down, if it's going to affect you.
Here's a link to Mayo Clinic that explains all about it-- including tests and treatments. I hope that helps.
