Hi:
Well, it's just my opinion, but I really wouldn't worry too much about a diagnosis. It is your symptoms you want to get under control, and I think the best relief can be found by taming those symptoms. Even with a diagnosis, there is of course no absolute 'cure', and it may in time be a bit of a helpful guide, but we all seem to react so differently to the same medication. Remember, each diagnosis has a very complex set of criteria, and it may take some time before you actually get a "correct" diagnosis. So, as usual, work with your doctor, and if you don't feel you are getting the best treatment, get another doctor. It may take some time, but you will find in the end it was worth it.
Best wishes,
Jay
