Brain Fog, Tinnitus & Feeling Weak

Hi,
I have seldom gotten more than 4 hours sleep per night, that in it's self is debilitating enough. After a life time of this and 12 years of those symptoms and many more it really eats at you, which dosen't help at all. I have had lots of diagnoses most of which have proven to be incorrect until this year, when I had a diagnosis of autonomic polyheuropathy. Finally knowing I was not going crazy was the biggest help I have had.
There can be many causes for these symptoms. A full blood work up would be my first step if it hasn't happened yet. Such things as vitamin B12 deficiency can contribute to those symptoms. A chemical imbalance in the brain can cause many issues. This can be a reflection of what we eat. There is no substitute for a balanced diet and mild exercise. The only way to get answers is to keep pushing for them until you are satisfied. Many times I have gotten to the point of giving up and considered suicide. The endless struggle with medical people who just don't appreciate your situation or understand just how devastating this can be to deal with confounds me. I often wish they had to live a week of my life.
Now I don't care how many black marks are on my file, I will not give up and will always push for the help I require, no matter what. I am my greatest advocator, as we each are, use it to get the help required, what is there to loose, everything to gain.
Cheers
