Sick and tired of being sick and tired.....
I just need to vent. It's hard when you have nobody to talk to or people tell you "it's all in your head". I am 42 years old and sick.....For over 10 years I have been dealing with so many health issues and can't seem to find the right answers. Seems having government insurance doesn't get you answers at all. I have been desperate for answers for so long, I ended up giving up after feeling like I was in a dead end circle. But, I am so tired of living this way and I know this is not a normal way to live, so I don't want to give up. I want to keep going, but, don't know where to begin. I have seen different rheumatologist, neurologist, primary doctors, etc. The first rheumatologist runs tests and diagnoses me with several different arthritis' and puts me on several medications (not to mention a chemo treatment that made me sicker). Kept me on all of the medications for years, even with me continuously telling him that they were not helping, I didn't feel any better at all. Decided to see a new Rheumatologist, only to be told I was misdiagnosed by the previous one and I don't have any types of arthritis and "nothing"' is wrong. Same thing happened with the Neurologist, first one tells me I have a brain aneurysm, get a second opinion and that one tells me I don't have an aneurysm. Several neurologist, diagnoses and medications, still feel the same. The most recent neurologist tells me I have every symptom of MS, yet, can't treat me for it or diagnose me, because I don't have MS lesions on my brain. (was that so called aneurysm seen on my scan by the first neurologist an MS lesion).
It's never ending and still no answers. I don't even remember what it like to feel "normal". I have been so desperate for answers for so long. I just want to feel somewhat 'normal" and be able to enjoy this short life we have. I miss being able to get up and live a normal life and enjoy the day. I miss being able to get up and go to work. I miss being able to run around the yard playing with my kids. I NEED ANSWERS AND CAN'T GET THEM. Thank you so much for letting me vent, there's so much more I could have written, but, it would have been so much longer than what I have already typed.

Of course if your on medications that needs to be taken into account. All my information comes from books written by Medical Professionals or their videos. When it comes to vitamin/mineral supplementation Dr Berg is the best source I have found yet. Almost every book I have has recommended supplements to some degree and I have books from several different specialist. I understand your apprehension though.
@trfire Care needs to be taken with supplementation. I wouldn’t want people to rush out and ingest the items noted without first checking with their doctors.
