I do not suffer from depression,anxiety or any other mental disorders.I would just like to find a real,caring,intelligent,helpful doctor.I am still very social every chance i get and get out of the house when i can because i do have good days and of course bad days if anyone can help me i would be very appreciative i have been told things like i have MS,ALS,Lymphoma,A Conversion disorder,Im drug seeking which as of the past 4 years i use nothing but over the counter medications along with my seizure medication of course and i do natural things to help with pain like massage,ice packs, acupuncture,etc.I have gone to counseling which they agree i do not suffer from any mental disorder these are real medical problems which just cant be pin pointed to just one.I have had many test,x-rays,MRI's,Cat Scans,EEG's,EMG's and i get a different diagnosis from every different doctor i get referred to.I am not crazy i am desperate for an answer so that i may get back to who i use to be  and live a normal life.

Hi Starr,

Welcome to MedHelp.

You are going through quite a bit of stuff.  I would recommend that you repost your situation in the MS forum.  

[want2bik1]

You have toxins in your body which are making you sick.  We put alot of stuff in our body which is not good.  Things like mercury, arsenic, lead, artificle sweetners, hydogenated oils, and too numerous to name them all.  These are man made things and not designed to give your body what it needs to be healthy.  They are all around use and we do not even think about them anymore.  When you go to the supermarket and buy a box of crackers read the back of the package ingredients and you will find things you have no idea what they are.  They tell you these things are preservatives to keep the contents fresh.  Yes it kills all the bad bacteria but it is also killing you.  You go to get vaccinated for the flu and guess what there is mercury in that vaccine.  It is a preservative but guess what, your body doesn't like mercury and you have to get it out.  I had to get really sick before I found out the amalgams (mercury) in my mouth were making me really sick.  I had many of the sympthoms you discribe.  I got on a program for mercury detoxification and within a month started feeling good again and all these sympthoms started going away.  Google things like mercury toxicity and detoxification and get the information and you can decide for yourself what you have.  In my  many trips to the emergency room along with the MRI, CAT Scans, blood test and they seem to know nothing.  They try and make you think it is all in your head but your body will not lie to you.  Listen to your body because it is telling you when you are sick and it is not in your head just because they cannot put a name on what you have.  My last trip to the emergency room one of the doctors told me I showed signs of MS in my upper body but since the couldn't see it in the test it must not be MS.  They have to see certain things on MRI, CAT Scans are blood test for you to be diagnois with the specific disease but that doesn't change the fact that you are still sick.

Good health is in your hands and it is not easy in todays world.  You will have to change what you are doing if you expect to see change in your health.  Google the paleo diet and it will explain the diet which has help many with their autoimmune problems.  It will involve a diet based on raw fruits and vegetables instead of the process foods many of us have come accustoms to eating.  There are many things we can do to improve our health and I am constantly discovering more ways.  I try many different things and I let my body tell me if what I am doing is good for me.  Give the diet a try and if you do not feel better in a month try something else.  Good Luck.
