I am so sorry for all you have been going through. I can relate to so much you've shared. Prayers for you that you can get in to Mayo or another place where a team of doctors will look at all aspects at the same time. I sit here with tears streaming knowing it is horrible to feel so bad all the time, and no one has answers.
Thank you! I do have appointments with Mayo in August. I hope it's worth the energy and expense!
Your appointment will be worth your time. I understand that getting there is no easy task. Mayo doctors treat you like an adult, are extremely polite and kind. The doctors are salaried so it doesn't matter if you need more time than a community doctor. Of course they are busy but rest assured, the doctors will get to the bottom of your problems. Almost all appointments are in the same area. If you need a wheel chair and someone to take you to appointments, that can be easily done. Information areas in the clinic are knowledgeable and helpful. Good luck to you! Keep us posted.
If you haven't been to the Mayo Clinic Rochester campus before, here are some short YouTube video tours that may be helpful. If you click the little box in the upper left you can select the different tour videos.

@airsleeper please know you are in my prayers!
Thank you! My appointment at Mayo is August 9. I'll keep you posted.
Rkaphact, I'm so sorry for what you are going thru. I swear that part of our illness comes from the frustration of not being believed or finding a good doctor willing to work till they find our problem. I have Hashi's, CEB, fibromyalgia, and a fatty liver, diabetes, high BP, sleep apnea & metabolic disease and "non specific autoimmune disease ." I get a multitude of symptoms like you... Has anyone checked your adrenal gland function ? Some of your symptoms sure sound like an adrenal crash...it is a vicious cycle --weak adrenals cause problems , but having constant stress of illness cause weak adrenals . I'll be praying for you !
