just a thought
good luck

Very interesting!

Thanks for the tip Brian!! I will most certainly will look at having a glucose tolerance test (if not by my neuro, i can easly get my family doctor to have these setup for me).

Thanks again for taking the time to reply. Its much appreciated!

No other drug abuse...or dietary conditions that I know of. (Which makes it all the more fusterating.)

Its comforting to see other people my age are also inflicted by this... you don't know how many times I have heard "At your age its near impossible to have this"

Thanks again... hopefully we can all get through this togeather.
Yes I understand. Basically once a week I am told by someone you are too young to be here or have these problems. It is hard and especially I feel like many my age can't relate but I try to focus on the good supports I have. Do you have family that can help you? I really encourage you to ask them to go with you to apts. I agree with Brian a well. You sometimes have to look outside the box. I would see your gp. Hang in there
