OK. I don't have allot of time for doctors personally. What alternatives have you tried? I have found Reiki very helpful & beneficial for alleviating my own problems. I have also tried & received varying benefits from homoeopathy, acupuncture, Indian head massage, Hopi ear candles & many other holistic & natural healing modalities.
I try to live as stress free & natural life as I can. By natural I mean - good food, fresh air, good sleep & rest & good company.
There could be any number of reasons for why you are experiencing what you are. What meds do you take? Are you on drink &/or drugs [street]? What is your diet like? Exercise? Do you have any known allergies? Have you had an allergy test? Have you tried Google searches with the symptoms you are experiencing? What physical problems (diagnosed conditions) do you have? Have you had extensive physical tests?
What physical &/or psychological traumas have you experienced in your life? I put allot of upset I have had on a very serious accident I had when I was 6.
It is very difficult to get any idea of what could be the matter from what you have posted - which is a set of arbitrary symptoms. The symptoms seem similar to some kind of poisoning; I stress that I am not a doctor however.
You mention stress & depression. I was once diagnosed with psychotic depression, which the doctors told me when I asked them; was that I was depressed without realising it. Sounds pretty odd. But maybe you are in some kind of reaction to stress, or physically manifesting psychological difficulties as some kind of deference. If you are seeing allot of Doctors & they can't come up with anything in 9 months - then I doubt I can shed any more light on the situation. But as I say a more holistic answer may help. I hope that can be of some benefit.
What meds do you take?
I take advair, albuteral, and singulair for asthma (I had a severe asthma attack this year as well that lasted for over 12 hours without me having any way to contact anyone and I was home alone... this called for hospitalization). Ibuprofen for head aches, though I try not to use this often. I take erythrocin, or I did and was just taken off it yesterday, and this is an antibiotic for my stomach. I also take prilosec OTC over the counter, which the doctor told me to take, and rolaids soft chew antiacids.
Are you on drink &/or drugs [street]?
No way in hell do I drink or do drugs! I am as clean as it gets...
What is your diet like?
We have tried many diets... One we tried was a bland diet, which was mainly plain baked chicken, crackers, and non citrus juice. This had no difference from any other diet we tried. I now only eat one small meal a day of something easy on my stomach, and drink plenty of apple juice since it has proven to hurt me less to drink than others.
Exercise?
I try for at least a half hour, despite the pain, each day.
Do you have any known allergies?
Seasonal allergies only, but my body reacts poorly to steroids (which I was once prescribed for asthma after released from the hospital) and I react poorly to Nexium, which I was also taken off of almost immediately after being prescribed.
Have you had an allergy test?
I believe so.
Have you tried Google searches with the symptoms you are experiencing?
Yes I have and my results were possibly TSS, but they are concluding that is not it as of yesterday after discussing it with my GI.
What physical problems (diagnosed conditions) do you have?
I have had malnutrition, dehydration, and massive weight loss due to this. The malnutrition is being taken care of through vitamins, and the dehydration I am fixing through plenty of fluids, though I puke a lot of it up. The weight loss seems to be doing better now as well, I suppose.
Have you had extensive physical tests?
I have had a lot of tests, some I don't even know of, as well as a pregnancy test (which is impossible with my being a virgin), a through scope test and another that revealed I have slow stomach emptying, but the medications don't work as well as they should be.
What physical &/or psychological traumas have you experienced in your life?
I was in a small car accident where we hit a tree last year, though it was like I said, very small. My brother went through severe depression, which I dedicated months to fixing, my parents fought for a while and were almost divorced, my cousin was in a severe car accident after falling asleep at the wheel and is now getting involved with drugs, my aunt got a DUI about a month ago, my friend is undergoing abusive by her boyfriend, who is also the father of her 2 yr. old son, and I am trying to help her with that since she lives with him and his parents are her legal guardians, being sick without a diagnosis has been stressful, and my sister has been especially difficult throughout the whole process.
