Just out of curiosity, why only sequence your exome? There is a possibility that if the problem is genetic that you could be looking at a change in a regulatory region or even non-coding sequence. Have you considered whole genome sequencing or even RNAseq techniques?

Fair enough. Still pretty pricey I'm afraid, but there are some good companies out there than will sequence for you and then scan your genome against disease databanks and even SNP libraries. Might uncover something interesting. Best of luck in the future and stay strong!
