My son is BP, I had doctors tell me he wasn't. The one doctor that insisted he was, was his regular primary doctor. It took years before it finally came to be that he really was BP after all. Everyone is different and not everyone's symptoms are going to be the same. Your mother's history can be a good indicator since BP is hereditary. Hang in there....
