What to do when no one believes u?
I don't have much of a support system...but now my mom doesn't believe why I am sick, despite tons of test results that show heavy metal toxicities, bacterial/fungal infections, and other imbalances.
She is convinced my issue is anorexia.
This makes me infuriated! I had an ED a LONG time ago, but she always thinks that that is the cause of everything. Not this time. I haven't had ED issues since high school. I eat very healthy, never skip meals/snacks, and I don't over-exercise.
Why does she not believe the test results? Why is she so fixated on the ED? Yes, I am underweight, but that is b/c of the toxins and infections. Try gaining wt when the body is overburdened and the immune system is using up every frickin calorie I put into my body. try absorbing food when LGS and infections are rending my GI practically useless. Nothing in my body is working properly BECAUSE of these infections/toxins...but she cannot conceptualize that.
How do I get her to see the actual problem?
She is frustrated b/c I've seen a lot of docs who haven't been able to help me...all they do is diagnose me. She hates alternative medicine and is very western minded. however, in my area (illinois), there aren't many good holistic docs and we've been taken advantage of more times than not.
I unfortunately depend on her financially right now b/c I cannot work...and my disability insurance doesn't even cover the cost of my rent. I am also under her insurance.
I feel like a rat trapped in the corner of a room. IDK what to do and this extra stress and lack of support only makes things WAY worse.
Any advice? I'm afraid she is going to go off the deep end and send me to an ED treatment center or hospital (she did this this past spring and it made me SO sick)....or I'm afraid she will pull away from me, not support me, and then I will be screwed.
I'm SO overwhelmed....IDK what to do anymore. PLEASE help...
