Sorry I haven't been in touch.

Hey everyone. Sorry I haven't been in touch. I am just having a hard time dealing with everying. Nothing is changing. My cognitive problems are still there. My intestinal problems are still as bad as ever. I still am not able to drive because of the cogn. probs. I am trying to work at least 4 hrs. a week in the office when I am feeling up too it.

My headaches are back and bad. I was think that the Imitrex pill that I was given for the them would help. But actually made me feel worse and deathly ill. So I won't touch those anymore.

I still haven't been able to find a doctor that will believe and listen to me. Except my Intergrative Med Dr. and his can't do everything. I need a GI specialist that will listen to me and believe me.

I am tired of not being able to eat FOOD. And am even tired of trying. I can't even get the powdered stuff and water my Int. Med Dr. has me drinking to try and keep nutrients in.

And if that all wasn't enough. Just because I am trying to work an unguaranteed 4 hrs. a week. I got rent raised to $192 a month ( untilites not included). For someone that has no medical insurance not even medicaid, just medicare. Getting only $16 in food stamps a month. This is suppose to be section 8 housing.

I am still doing the acupunture but that is getting to the point where it has done all it is going to do Sallie and I both feel.

So I am praying to hard my knees are raw so to speak. The depression is hard to fight and winter makes it even harder.

So someone please where do I turn to now. What do I do? How do I get a primary dr. that I can trust? How do I start to find one if I have such a hard time trusting drs. to begin w/?

Thanks Everyone.

Hi antlin, I'm so sorry that you continue to suffer like this. It just isn't right! Could you remind me of where you are located? Do you have a health food store or holistic med pharmacy around? You can send me a private message if you aren't comfortable divulging that info in the forum. All the best to you, along with my meager prayers.

I am sorry in your difficulty to find a doctor to listen..seems to be going around these days.....

I have lots of thoughts and prayers comng to you through cyber space....had they done any tests on your tummy????

Hi.
Just out of being an headache sufferer, next time you have one , take 150mg of aspirin, only if you can take them, and see if you get any relief.

If you get some relief get back to me , and i will tell you what steps to take next.
Regarding two simple bloodtests,
But seeing as you havent got any medical insurance, and the cost of tests, then try to keep the expense down.
If the aspirin give a little relief, then  it maybe a illness called Hughes syndrome.

Good luck, sorry to hear you are suffering.
