Hi, I'm new here and here is my story:
I am currently 34 years old. When I was about 20 years old, I rapidly developed all of the following symptoms: debilitating chronic fatigue, extreme sensitivity to temperature changes (especially cool/cold), poor circulation, weak/poor immune system and immune responses (colds, etc. that last FOREVER, extreme allergic reactions to foods, environments, smells, everything basically...sometimes I wonder if I'm not allergic to myself

), skin rashes and acne breakouts, heart palpitations, weird vision disturbances (floaters, etc.)...and the list could go on and on.
I went to a doctor after awhile and was told that I may have had some sort of viral infection, but that, based on every test known to man, there was "nothing wrong with me." Well, for someone with "nothing wrong with him" I continued to decline over the years. I have seen numerous doctors that have all told me "nothing is wrong." I did see a doctor a couple times that put me on thyroid meds. He monitored me on the meds for 2-3 months, but no changes occurred in my health. Then he put me on cortisol, which (again) did absolutely nothing.
My next step was to make an appointment with a woman that deals with nothing but natural remedies. I am really glad that I met her because she's a great person and we have remained friends over the past 10 years or so. And she did manage to bring my well-being up several notches...for about 3 months. Then I started my downward spiral again, even though nothing much had changed in my lifestyle, diet, exercise, nutritional supplementation.
And that's basically the cycle I've been locked into for the past ten years or so now: I start myself on a whole new diet/supplementation regimen, it works for a short time, then completely gives out on me for no apparent reason and I'm back to square one.
There is seemingly no end to this nightmare. And, if you are like me, it is truly a nightmare...except that you can't wake up, take a deep breath and say, "Oh, thank God that was only a horrible dream!" I have been to countless MD's over the years. Tests have been done on my thyroid, my adrenals, my heart, my liver, my kidney function, my digestion and...nothing. Some people have tried to convince me that this is all psychological and that, if I read some self-help books, it'll all just magically "disappear." Well, that's just bull****. I DON'T WANT THIS illness, disease, sickness, whatever it is! And that's the very worst part of it all...having NO diagnosis whatsoever. If I at least knew exactly what I was dealing with, then maybe I could actually DEAL with it. But no. No, no and NO. No answers, no respite, no health, no energy, no circulation, no normalcy, no comfort...no LIFE.
As I sit here typing this it comes crashing down on me yet again how my body has declined over the past 14 years. I basically have no good days now. I am always overwhelmingly exhausted, no matter how much or how little I do. My circulation gives out on me all the time; it feels as if someone is dunking me into a tub of ice-cold water. I get frequent colds and flus that hang on for weeks...once, I had the flu for a month...a MONTH! Then it takes several weeks just for my body to recover from recovering! The allergies are a whole other problem. I can't even walk through the mall anymore...all the scents send my sinuses into a fit and I start coughing or sneezing or whatever. I get frequent heart palpitations. They come on me for no apparent reason. I can be sitting on my couch, relaxing, and my heart starts beating hard or rapidly. My skin has been erupting in acne the past year or two like when I was in high school.
I am in a very dark place. If there is anyone that knows what I'm going through and can share some information or suggest anything helpful, I am open to just about anything at this point.
Thanks for your time,
Steve.
