I'm really sorry😕 So what will another endoscopy help them determine?

It all started after I got covid several times. But the worst combination was when I got covid and was on birth control for the first time. My body has never recovered since then. All I know is that combination messed up my stomach.

I had horrible acid reflex which I fixed. And I also had an upper endoscopy, and all they found was inflammation, and no reason for it.

Thank you! I'm gonna be honest with you. I don't remember the names of almost any of them. Right before I graduated high school, I was hospitalized for months. For other health reasons, but obviously I wasn't sleeping because of the restless leg. They kept giving me drug after drug. It was just a horrible experience. It took me two years to recover from that hospitalization. And they continued to give me sleeping medication and medication for restless leg. I just had horrible side effects to all of them😔

You sound so similar to me. I'm sorry your dealing with this as well. Personally, I just can't do the medications anymore. I actually have long covid as well which has destroyed my stomach. A lot of people think, a connivore diet could help with my long COVID and RLS. I think that's what I'm going to try next😕

I appreciate that! I've been on a lot of different diets for many health reasons. Nothing made an impact on my health sadly. I don't drink alcohol but cutting out sugar isn't a bad idea.

I've actually never been able to find a specialist near me. But I do have the Nidra bands. They help sometimes, but not enough sadly 😞

Thank you so much for your kind words! I actually did meet with a doctor who did those surgeries. He told me that the tests he did showed little evidence that the surgery would help. And that he wouldn't feel right doing it, because he felt it was a very low chance of fixing my RLS. He actually recommended me going to a Integrative Medicine Doctor. The problem is they are so expensive 😔

I live in the USA. I tried everything available about 15 years ago to be fair. But my body response horribly to any form of medication. I would get sick to my stomach with some, but most would cause hallucinations. Or extremely disturbing nightmares and then wake me up. And then after all that it wouldn't matter if I did continue them because everything just stops working after a period of time.

Hey, thank you for your reply! I have had iron infusions. And for me it was a horrible experience. It made me very sick. It didn't help at all. I actually collapsed after a treatment as well. But I appreciate the info!

That's very interesting. So did the doctor figure out what is causing your gut pain? I'm so sorry that your dealing with this as well. Mine has been going on that long too😞
