The wheelchair sounds pretty good; anything that lets you conserve some of your energy and maximize your out-and-about time without costing four days to recover for every one out sounds very sensible to me. Good luck with it. And with everything; that's a difficult row to hoe, that list o' symptoms.

I have a strategy suggestion. Feel free to disregard if irrelevant.

(But first, I want to offer you sympathy and good wishes in coping with this long list of troubles.)

Some doctors seem to stop taking me seriously as a good observer of symptoms when I stick things in there that sound like me making a diagnosis. So, depending on what kind of doctor this list is for and how well he or she knows you, I might consider altering some of the things to be more 'facts' than 'conclusions'. Such as describing the premenstrual characteristics rather than saying severe premenstrual syndrome, or saying "Clinic A diagnosed as excema, 1999", or saying "typical of descriptions of irritable bowel syndrome"
