I wish you could see Dr. Adema. <br /><br />That is a good idea to go to a specialist, but I am not sure if I want to spend the money when I am finding things that work that cost money like raw milk - will think/ pray about it.The Professor's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729608417909675769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180355242417922484.post-83074639051845004382012-01-18T10:22:42.203-08:002012-01-18T10:22:42.203-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.The Professor's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729608417909675769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180355242417922484.post-10490492833385556202012-01-18T08:54:00.620-08:002012-01-18T08:54:00.620-08:00Joyful, I doubt that I will find a "miracle c...Joyful, I doubt that I will find a "miracle cure" - just little ways to build energy over time. They are starting to work some - I'm not bouncing off the walls, but my bouts of serious fatigue are shorter and farther in between.<br /><br />I'm sure with you about contentment and faith - if I didn't believe that in heaven I would be completely healed (and be in God's presence for eternity!), I would get a lot more discouraged about being tired now! Plus God's presence helps me through each day!The Professor's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729608417909675769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180355242417922484.post-58466660411039613392012-01-17T21:33:17.975-08:002012-01-17T21:33:17.975-08:00I agree with your first moral!

I recently told my doctor that I was tired all the time and she said that my iron levels were normal, so it must just be that I need more sleep that most people. 12 hours a day?? I think I should get some proper tests done now, so thanks for posting this.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874273438983052621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180355242417922484.post-26898772869896444932012-01-17T15:40:33.114-08:002012-01-17T15:40:33.114-08:00Finding a doctor willing to listen is difficult. ...Finding a doctor willing to listen is difficult. They are in a hurry.<br />They have a favorite antidepressant, it seems, for every woman with any complaint. As much <br />crazy misinformation as there is on the internet, at least there are places to start figuring out your own diagnosis. I was told I had fibromyalgia. My real problem was that I was not sleeping. Still, doctors wanted me to try every antidepressant out there, and I did. <br />I do suggest getting referred to specialists, although my GP sighs like I have hurt her feelings, or am a hypochondriac. When I found the right med to help me sleep (it's not a sleeping med) with no side effects, my GP still wants me to try something else. Took me 30 years to find the right med. Now I have to go to a psychiatrist to have it confirmed that maybe, just maybe, at 62 years old, I actually have some insight into my health condition, and what works for me.Jeanne-mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08634530931571365865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180355242417922484.post-17282936249267583762012-01-17T15:02:42.860-08:002012-01-17T15:02:42.860-08:00I should also mention that I've been to countl...I should also mention that I've been to countless doctors and specialists as well as alternative therapy practitioners. So I think your photo of a needle in a haystack is a very appropriate photo :-) I do hope that you are finding more energy. I find mine comes and goes and it is in times of great fatigue and inability to do much that I am especially thankful for my faith. Without my faith it would be much harder to cope. But faith gives me a life of contentedness (most of the time) despite the circumstances.Joyfulhttp://www.snapthatpenny.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6180355242417922484.post-44360043036725565732012-01-17T14:55:04.398-08:002012-01-17T14:55:04.398-08:00I've got chronic fatigue also and experience m...I've got chronic fatigue also and experience many of your systems, including the pcos. I still haven't got any answers and am learning how to live as is. If you get a "cure" I'd sure love to hear about it.
