What happened at the doctors...

so i went to the doctor, he was nice and listened and wants to find out whats wrong. i got 2 of the fibro points cuz i was feeling well that day. but i was having a hard time telling him my symptoms, blanking out and such (which has been a recent thing last month) and hes sending me to a neuro psychiatrist to figure that out first. he said i have a low tolerance to pain. could possibly be vit d deficiency or atypical depression. or something else. who knows...... but he said he didnt want to give me anything until he knows what it is. i go back in a couple of weeks to get more tests after he reviews all my previous testing from other doctors.
