God that sounds so frustrating and scary. I am SO GLAD you brought a friend with you, and I agree with you that changing your doctor(s) sounds like a good step.
Very minor thing from my own life, but I've been having a medical issue for months that doctors dismissed because the tests came back negative for their hypotheses, & then finally I got back one of my old doctors and she was instantly like, oh yeah, here's what you have, it's super common, let me immediately give you meds & a referral. I say this to validate the reality of what you're going through! Not all doctors are created equal, some just do not listen or care, and it's not your fault that these particular medical professionals are behaving badly.
I hope you get someone who listens to you better <333
