Scotty Tav Member 65 Member For: 22y 2m 10d Posted 02/10/05 02:45 AM Posted 02/10/05 02:45 AM Hi everyone. I have a important question for you all. My sister is very sick and has been that way on and off for two years. She suffers from severe migraines, vomiting, shakes, nausea and a long list of other things. This has been effecting her life in a major way and she has been to many doctors but they just don't have a clue what is wrong with her. She has spent a lot of money on medications and getting passed from GP to GP. I know she needs a specialist but you can't get to one unless you are referred to one by a GP. That is impossible to do if they don't know what is wrong in the first place. At the moment she is violently ill for the last 5 days with like mornig sickness and the shakes. The doctor thought she was pregnant but a blood test said she wasn't so they said it must just be a "virus" (GP talk for I don't know) but it isn't. She has been sick for too long. Doctors have also said they think she is suffering from depression and anxiety and just want to put her on anti depressants all the time. All these do is make her sick. She is really losing hope in finding a doctor to help as this is wrecking her life. She can't hold a job and her relationships are suffering and I am worried that if something like this goes untreated for long enough she may even die. Yes, that is how sick she gets. If anyone out there knows of a exceptional doctor that is genuinely interested in helping her and not get giving here anti depressants could you please respond here or email me at [email protected] Thanks.

She had to cut out yeast altogether (no more bread etc.), and a few other things. Had to go to a natropath to find out though.
