I just want you to know that although my illness isn't the same, I share the same frustrations. 2 years ago, I felt the strongest of my life. I had just run a half marathon and finished with my fastest time.
I had a wonderful marriage (still do) and four lovely children. The very next day, I woke up with chest pains, dizziness, all sorts of horrid symptoms. I had every test, with every specialist.
The symptoms kept changing, and I was completely incapacitated. I ended up in the emergency a few times. The doctors couldn't explain what was going on and finally declared I had a serious "virus".
They told me it could be up to 2 years to recover. I don't know what I had, but it was the scariest, most frustrating and saddest time of my life.
I just want you to know that I HAVE recovered. But what hasn't changed is my horror at how the north american medical system is all about throwing drugs at patients. It doesn't work, and it didn't help.
I still don't know what exactly I had, but I do know that we need to be looking at more than just reacting with drugs - we need to look at lifestyle, prevention and alternative therapies.
Anyway, your blog is great, and don't worry about the number of comments - there's more of us reading than you think!
