If anyone can help me and possibly guide
me in the right direction, it would mean a
great deal to me..I am a 21 year old
college student; pretty active and fit
guy. About 5 months ago (may of 2005) I
became very ill. At first I though it was
just a flu virus I had came down with but
it began to gradually get worse. I began
to have a nauseus feeling in my stomach,
very bad dehydrated feeling no matter how
much water I consume, and the worse case
of fatigue and sleepiness I have ever felt
in my life. It finally got to the point
where I could no long work at my job and
my life has pretty much been on hault ever
since..As days turned into weeks and weeks
into months, my symptoms began to
worsen..Besides my constant abnormal
fatigue, I would find it very very
difficult to wake up whenever I slept..It
feels amost like being in a drugged up
coma type condition where I want to wake
up but something inside of me won't let me
making me struggle just to even get up. I
have vomitted on a number of occasions
sometimes for no reason. Through all of
this I have lost a whopping 30 lbs.! Each
day I feel as if I am going to throw up..I
feel like I have the worse flu or
something of my life. My neck is stiff,
I have swollen glands and lymph nodes on
my neck and armpit. Now for the worst
part: since the end of may until now, I
have been back and forth from the hospital
over 20 times! It has depressed me soo
much now because they cannot tell me
anything! I have gotten tested for
everything hoping that something would
come back poitive so I would at least know
what is wrong with me. I have gotten
tested for diabetes, thyroid, kidneys,
liver function, mono-spot, mri of my
brain, cat scan, and even aids! All of
these have came back either negative or
normal. The doctor I am working with
seems to be clueless at this point as to
what to do because he doesn't even
know..So now I feel like its a waste of
time to continue even going in hopes of
getting proper treatment or help. I am
very depressed. I start school this
coming monday and I am still very sick.
Its so hard to even get out of my bed. I
have been sick for about 5 months now! I
have never needed more help in my life
until right now. I feel very alone and as
if no one really understands how I feel.
Please anyone, if you read this and can
help me, anything, it would mean so muchto
me..This has become a very emotional time
for me. Please help me.

Hi there! Have you thought of getting a
second opinion from another Dr., possibly
an internist, have you checked out chronic
fatigue syndrome on the internet, I am no
Dr., it could even be stress, I would
definitely think about a second opinion,
hope you start feeling better soon, let us
know what you find out.
