My heart truly goes out to you.
'SAM' gave you some great input in the post above....lots of good info!

It saddens me to see that you don't feel you 'belong' here....
I completely understand your frustration regarding your complex medical condition, but you DO belong here! We may not be able to diagnose or attain to 'resolve' your symptoms.....but it's the SUPPORT you need to help you as you wade thru your issues. NT is the greatest forum I've ever known!
Most of the 'other' forums I've come across are spattered with strife, discontent, spam leaks thru.......not here. This forum has a very commited team of members who work round the clock to make certain that this remains a 'safe' place, so that we can remain as one big family....each of us are suffering in our own way, yet we still gain strength from one another, even just to get thru another day.

Please accept this hug from me to you and to say that you DO belong here! Your 'family' here CARES about the issues that you are facing and what this is probably doing to you psychologically...

I remember when my father had a 'stroke' of some sort years back. It took FOREVER for the doctors to finally pinpoint what was happening to him. He'd suffered a stroke in the 'thalamus', which is basically in the middle of the brain. The frustration we all went thru as a family during that time was beyond comprehension. NObody seemed to be able to offer ANY help. We weren't getting answers, and frankly, we thought we were going to lose my dad. He thought so as well.
It took time, but as the weeks and months unfolded, he was able to get his life back.....but without the support and network of friends/family/church etc, we ALL would have just figured it would be easiest to just 'give up trying'.

The thing I love the most about this forum is that it covers ALL the bases!
If you aren't getting the medical answers, well, there's a forum to reach out spiritually. If you aren't spiritually inclined, there is a forum just to 'vent' if nothing else. There are forums that center in on healthy dietary/supplement changes we can make. There's even a forum (one of my favorites ) to just 'let it all hang out' and be silly and not even have to make any sense at ALL! Humor truly does help when it's appropriate.

It appears that you aren't getting any 'clear' diagnoses, but you've certainly got SYMPTOMS. Share your symptoms and, like the poster above, you'll get others (just like you) who battle the frustrations of not knowing what is going on. That right there is valid reason to 'belong' here!! Half the time NONE of us know what the heck is going on to our aging bodies!!!

If we had to fit any particular 'mold' to belong here.....then this forum would be empty. You belong here because YOU are suffering. That's what we are ALL here for.

You 'belong', Craig

Truly Caring
