I've had symptoms as far back as I can remember. I had several fillings put in my mouth due to the large amount of candy I was allowed to have. It seemed that in my childhood I was always sick. I had pneumonia, mono, infections, viruses, etc. Later on in my adulthood, I was also diagnosed with endometriosis.

After we got married & we adopted our daughter from China, my symptoms got even worse. I went from doctor to doctor and all I would get is some sort of diagnosis & told to try this. But nothing would work. The test results wouldn't show all that much either - high cholesterol, border-line anemia, etc but my symptoms would continue.

I would feel tired all the time, hair falling out, cold when others are warm, headaches, body aches, restless leg syndrome, foggy mind, additional weight gain, dry skin, food sensitivities, bloating, food cravings, depression, moody, cry easily, & the list goes on.

Presently, I had the fillings in my bottom teeth removed. In a couple months I will have one side of the uppers done then the last ones done some time in the Spring.

I am not sure what type of treatment to do afterwards but I just want to get better. I have been sick way too long & life is just too short to feel this way all the time.

Thanks!
