Hi, we're looking for a good relationship counselor in the area. Ideally someone who is open minded, sex-positive, and preferably not religious-based, but not a requirement. Thanks in advance

I have had an undiagnosed progressive chronic illness for about 2 years now. I started having symptoms in March 2024 and became completely disabled by it (unable to drive or work, fully housebound, partially bedbound, lost all of my hobbies and friends) in April 2025. I started going to doctors in April 2024 and I have been to over 200 appointments. I haven't felt like I've been taken seriously at a single appointment despite not being able to work and losing everything. I started having my husband with me when I lost the ability to drive which helped a little, but I'm still not treated with much care or concern. We are both extremely frustrated and I continue to decline. The only thing I've been diagnosed with is 'migraines' despite my list of 100 symptoms that affect all parts of my body. I've tried dozens of migraine treatments and none help, and my symptoms don't align with migraines at all in my opinion. I've tried to voice this without seeming argumentative, but I'm just dismissed every time. I've tried getting second, third and fourth opinions, but it feels like everyone is following the same script or procedure. Has anyone else experienced something like this? How did you handle it?
