Re: not another disease again...

You are exactly like me! I feel so ill every day, it feels like I'm dying and I'm only 26. The doctors wouldn't help fgor years because I was young. I can't sleep at night, and spend all night on the net trying to find out what's wrong with me. I'm so ill now, I can't go on the computer for long at all, I feel too ill.

I have thought I had everything under the sun. Told the docs for many years I had hypothyroid, tests were negative all the time, then...positive!! But thyroxine hasn't helped me completely. I've been looking into digestive problems and I'm pretty sure I have gluten intolerance. I'm on the waiting list to see a gastroentologist. The candida diet helped a lot, but not completely.

I've got a doc appt today and i'm going to ask for a blood test for the gluten thing as I can't wait for the appt with the specialist. I'm so ill I can't eat, feel so shaky (not like low blood sugar), can't sleep, extreme fatigue, can't go out i'm so weak.

All i can say to you is, you're not being a hypochondriac, if you are thinking you have all this stuff then you must be feeling very ill to think that way, so something must be up. I doubt you have cancer or anything bad like that, it could be something very simple (like my gluten idea) that's making you feel so shitty, but the docs can't work it out because they aren't doing the right tests.

Keep investigating, but please don't worry yourself like I have in the past! I've learned not to freak out at what I read and think I have anymore. Bug the docs otherwise they won't find out what's wrong. Keep on at them!! In my experience there is no such thing as a hypochondriac and things like Depression are fob off diagnosises the docs give you cos they don't know what to say. Depression always has a cause eg candida!! Everything has a cause. Good luck :)
