Hi sassyc68.
In my small family, between the of 3 us, we have: 3 Reiki practitioners, 2 holistic health practitioners, 2 hypnotherapists, 1 dietitian, 1 EFT advanced practitioner, 1 yoga instructor, 1 independent medical researcher and a few more.
Please reconsider your decision. It is a very unclear - almost murky path-
the conventional medicine way. No standardized testing and pain/symptom management drugs is typical.
I can just sense that you have reached and probably surpassed your mental tolerance threshold.
Unfortunately you may not have gone deep enough with your natural approaches to reach the causative level and get your issues corrected at their foundation.
Things to rule out before anything else is considered:
1. Low Thyroid Function!
2. Low adrenal function! (in association with stress, specially biological
or hidden stress)
3. Low methylation!
4. Past suppressed traumatic events- possibly some not held in memory!
5. Deficiencies.
There may be more.
I have found that these factors, when present and not corrected, do not allow the body to function, to repair and to heal properly,
regardless of the other medical condition(s) a patient is suffering from!
Medications, alternative therapies, may help temporarily, however, no real breakthrough can manifest, when the above imbalances are overlooked .
If interested, post a brief med. history/bio, including diet, any meds, accidents, surgeries, tests, traumatic events, present fitness level, family situation and anything else which you consider noteworthy.
Looking forward to your reply.
Hang in there.
Niko
