I graduated, but most of my teachers and friends believed I was just being a drama queen until they actually saw me getting sick, and some of them still didn't believe me.

I really don't have any friends either, it seems they all went away in the last couple months, my best friend is my boyfriend.

My mom abandoned me back in December when I was 17 and now I live with one of my old friends' family..

Thankfully they actually accept the fact that I'm sick a lot, and that sleeping medicine doesn't work...

It will get better, just hang in there and see if you can find a better doctor!
Sorry to hear about your situation, I hope you are doing better

Sleeping pills dont work for me either

I hope things will get better.. like you said if I find a better doctor that listens and takes things seriously then they will get to the bottom of it

just gotta find that one doctor though.. its hard

Insomnia, chronic nausea, you name it. Its hard to watch her and her own family thought she did it for attention so needless they no longer are in our lives. She trys to live everyday as best as possible but it is hard. Do Not Give up on finding a solution and my prayers go out to you my friend!
Thank you very much for the prayers and good wishes, I appreciate it!

I am glad your mom got properly diagnosed, It seems like there are a lot of people who have medical problems that dont get the proper diagnosis until its to late, its a shame

Maybe if you can find a doctor willing to work with you and maybe try to diagnose one symptom at a time, they can find an underlying cause for most of your issues.

I just looked at your post again and noticed you're from Canada. If the social medical care the reason no doctor is willing to spend the time to find a diagnosis?

Good Luck!

This is what I said, I said how can I fake an arrythmia? they said "its unrelated to the main issue"

I said "what a coincidence..."

I hope if I can find a doctor who has the brain to figure this out .. But im not betting on it happening anytime soon

Also, I dont think it has to do with being in canada. I think its just that its such a weird case I think it puts off the doctors that are use to dealing with sniffles and colds
