I'm Tired and Don't Want To Go On

@dfb This is m first post, new to this site.
Your kindness to others is something I try to do as well. Your original post said so many things that are true. Some health providers mean well, for sure, but the big picture is broken. Insurance game - they rule the health world. One thing that Really stood out to me was the comment of yours that I have quoted below. For me when I had a brief reprieve from suffering only to go back to suffering it was devastating. How did that feel for you when you lost that feeling of being better only to suffer again?
“ My interventions are dietary changes and vigorous exercise. These two changes allowed me to, with my providers help, pretty much get off all of the meds I was on. In November I felt the best I have felt in twenty years.”

I wish I had something significant to share, but the reprieves are only for a couple of days. Get hopes up and then it’s like a carpet ripped out from under me when it’s back to the new “normal” in life.
Off topic but On a positive note:
Yesterday I had an appointment. When I left I forgot my purse in the entrance room. I never ever do that (that is one of my OCDs), but I was so distracted from being distraught and upset. A nice man caught me just in time as I was in the elevator with the door closing. And handed it to me. I found out later in the day that the nice man is actually homeless. Nothing was taken from my purse like cash etc. I’m so touched by this, I will never forget it.
My father always said “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all”. With that in mind I am not well. I feel hopeless and helpless as I and my providers search for answers.
May you live in peace and good health.

@sphb welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect and congratulations on your first post! This discussion “I’m Tired and Don’t Want to Go On” is a bit daunting isn’t it? You mentioned insurance and referred to dietary, exercise and meds interventions quoting another member. If you don’t mind replying, what interventions have you had experience with? We are all looking for a “reprieve from suffering”. Would you be willing to share?
