My GPA was diagnosed by elimination as well. I had both a nasal biopsy (positive) and a bronchoscopy (inconclusive) plus CT scans, X-rays, and blood work.
GPA was the only diagnosis that made sense. Since I responded well to treatment, the diagnosis has stood.
I've never had to be a pain in the butt with a doctor. That said, I had a long written list of questions that I took to each appointment. Fortunately, the docs took time to answer them all. They didn't regard this as a waste of time.
