Your story is a lot like mine.

I delt with the so called " growing pains". I cried myself to sleep each night with them. I also delt with cronic fatigue as a child.

We lived in the country and Dad only took us to the Dr. for other things such as cuts that needed stitches and nails being pulled out of our feet that we jumped on. He actually had insurance on all 10 of us but just didn't believe in going to Drs. He put me on one a day vitamins to help with the fatigue and I couldn't keep them down. They believed in mostly old time remedies such as hot castor oil in the ear for earaches. I had them all my childhood along with toothaches. We did still try to function as normal kids back then because of the Drs. not knowing about these illnesses back then.

I think a lot of us can endure medical problems pretty damn good. A lot of us have been through hell with the Fibro and the RSD.

I am wondering if these Drs. that believe this will start pushing harder for their ideal to be known and believed.
