Oh dear! I have had a bad experience with doctors over here as well. They seem totally uninterested to find out what is going on, which I find shocking. I would have expected a bit more interest in their jobs. I understand they are overworked, but don't they feel at least a bit curious when they come across something they haven't seen before?
Anyway, I hope the drugs work for you. I am going to give them a try, I am not sure about herbs.
I wish you luck and get well soon.
