Oh honey. :/ A few years ago I had similar troubles and absolutely no answers. I got told I was fine, went to a psychiatrist instead of a neurologist by accident which made me really think I was crazy, lots of tests with "normal" results, some packs of steroids to make the hivey rashy things go away, and had a few ER trips for what seemed like anaphalactic shock and some serious gut pain with diarrhea that left me in tears on the floor curled up into a ball

dearest, thank you SO much for the feedback...it really means a lot to me. i haven't (yet) gone down Acupuncture Road, and never even thought of (or was referred to, ahem) Osteopathy -- but both are great ideas! I am a longtime big believer in the mind/soul/body connections, and how overlooked they are in our society -- more vigilance on our part, as usual, is called for -- and I definitely think that the experiences of the last year and a half are, in part, some sort of message my physical self is trying to impart...hard to translate, sometimes. I'm always torn between wanting to take whatever is available to cease pain/discomfort, and the desire to not drown out the voice & message in order to learn whatever is being shared...if that makes any sense, lol. Most important is your lovely voice of sharing. I'm glad you're feeing better now - your strength & support is a balm. xo
It may be weak consolation, but I'm on the path to wellness too. One week of sobriety on my 365 days to new health! It's been a long road from the death tunnel I was in 8 years ago, lots of ups-and-downs, relapse and despicable debauch, but all with an inkling of hope behind it. It's amazing I was able to ace this past semester in the condition I was in, but I see it as the storm before the calm. I've nurtured this beast for so long, never wanting to give it up. But the body and mind mandate it now. And it's not just about sobriety, I've had disease and emotional discord that have demanded equal attention these years. Drink was just the last denial, the last washed-up habit that I felt necessary to cling. This is the current hurdle in leap. And I'm strong enough now to do it.
It may be weak consolation, but I send some strength to you.
Yay!!! Path to Wellness 09!! It's immensely encouraging to see your sweet face on the same path. And thank you for the strength donation - all input is welcome. Sometimes its hard to remember that we all have something to share & learn from one another -- so corny but its true. I share what strength I have with you, too. And consolation is never 'weak' - it's a gift, and here's my big Thank You note!! xo
While I am not the pinnacle of healthy I have some ideas. Mild exercise (like you don't need to go crazy at the gym five days a week or anything). More wholistic eating. Regular massage. And.....quitting smoking. You KNOW I will help in any way I can...cuz I lovvvvvvvveeeeeeeeee youuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
