Janene if possible you should be trying to see another GP about this because it doesn't sound like this one is listening to you.
I've had a similar experience with one GP and the best thing I did was to change GP's to someone that was willing to help with the situation. It is a ridiculous situation to be in to have a serious problem and have it ignored in that way. Don't doubt yourself - persist in trying to see a specialist - either via this GP but if possible try to see if you can find another GP that is more helpful.

surfing injury 2004 - transient paralysis from neck down for 15 seconds, resolved fully - herniated c5/c6 disc plus some bulging at c3/4/5. Initially had dermatome pain after injury which resolved - general parasthesia in arms/legs was fairly mild after injury but has been worsening.
