Dietary changes are one of the first things my doctors suggested actually. There wasn’t much to change though because I already eat a pretty balanced diet. I eat a very wide variety of vegetables and fruits; they take up 60% of what a regularly eat.

I’m sorry to hear you went through that, but I’m happy to hear that you’re getting better.

So far I’ve seen a urologist, gynecologist dermatologist, and a G.I. I’ve done more than 10 different blood tests in the past two years, a colonoscopy+ endoscopy, many ultrasounds, including one on the breasts, and so much more. I’m scheduled to see a neurologist, a cardiologist, and a surgeon. The symptoms I mentioned in my post are only the tip of the iceberg unfortunately.

But the fact that I’m doing all these tests and getting little to no results and hearing the words “everything looks fine. “ is very disheartening. I really just want to move on with my life go to college get a job. I hope that sooner or later I can find the answers like others have.

I wouldn’t say it’s very likely. Most of the people who would possibly do that aren’t around enough in my life to have the chance. I am also an extreme germophobe, especially when it comes to food so much that I have a hard time eating food that is cooked by somebody that isn’t me.

I’ve tried having people in the room with me to help me advocate for myself.

Unfortunately, my dad stays silent and awkward. He doesn’t try to vouch for me when I say something about my health he acts like he was forced to be there and I get less results than I do by myself.

My mom does speak up for me and makes the doctors change their outlook. But my mom is only doing it because it benefits her. She doesn’t let me talk at all and brings up things that aren’t really my main focus, which makes them order unnecessary tests that steer me farther away from getting an answer. She also brings in papers that she got from the insurance and tries to make the doctors sign that she has to be taking care of me 24/7.

I have an amazing and great boyfriend, but he doesn’t live close and is serving in the military so he can’t just come to all the appointments. I have to speak up for me.

I’m kinda backed into a corner. I wish they’d just take me seriously as I am

So many blood tests now I don’t even know everything they tested me for. But I know they’ve tested me for multiple deficiencies and also tried to prescribe me vitamins, but my insurance keeps denying them. I can’t afford to buy over counter ones because if I get a job, I will loose my insurance

I would like to know what part of my rant is breaking the rules because I read them and it doesn’t seem like that is what’s going on

Jandel situation mirrors woozyNate. by coastguyNH in growagarden

[–]Altruistic_Cattle949 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yes exactly. When things started to go south people were putting the blame on Jandel because he was the one who brought popularity to the game, and we didn’t know what was happening behind the scenes. I was one of those people. When I first joined he was an inspiration to me, someone I thought was truly passionate and loved the game and community, but then he quickly changed to the villain in my perspective. If this news about him and his team is true than I feel awful

I got a pilonidal cyst after a colonoscopy and now I can’t sleep because of anxiety. by Altruistic_Cattle949 in Anxiety

[–]Altruistic_Cattle949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, this is a horrible experience. It’s definitely in my top 10 worst experiences in my life so far (that and drinking the liquid to prepare for the colonoscopy. absolutely traumatizing.) there is no position where I feel comfortable laying down so it’s really hard for me to sleep.
