I am so sorry that you are suffering so much. I hope you can get an answer after 30 years; that is just crazy! I couldn't imagine dealing with all that as long as you have. God bless you and I wish you better health and some answers to what is ailing you. I think I'm going to look into natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory foods and start making a concoction for morning breakfast. Maybe I could make a smoothy (no sugar) with blueberries, spinach/kale, etc. I don't like eating certain fruits and vegetables but this may be a way around that. My son's a Chef so I may ask him to fix whatever tastes nasty, probably everything, lol. I keep thinking of this story I read many years ago how a girl in her early 20's was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and how she formed a diet that was very strict but was overflowing with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory foods, etc. She actually put herself in remission and was cancer free. It can't hurt at this point.
I had Hoshimotos disease since 2008 (had a Thyroidectomy for Thyroid Cancer that was left undiagnosed and they didn't find out until after my surgery that it was cancerous; I knew it was cancerous by the way I felt. I was already having black outs from my thyroid crushing my wind pipe, but that's a whole other saga, geez louise that really sounds bad, but I guess time heels). Although I would never admit it to my kids (both have Special Needs and one is now completely self-sufficient, the other is still a project in the works), lately most days it's hard to get out of bed with the pain and get moving for the first half of my day. Here it is 2 pm and I'm ready to lay down. I'm exhausted just from vacuuming the hallway and doing a load of wash. I've been going to Physical Therapy post knee surgery, but sometimes I feel tired after that too. If I find anything that can be of help to any of us, I will definitely post it. There has to be something out there that is naturally healthy and is not another pill. My prayers are with you.
