I now believe I have mercury poisoning, but 10 years ago when it was a mystery I was depressed and the doc put me on antidepressants. Some time thereafter, I began to be sick like you are and could literally not get out of bed. I woke up at night a lot. I called in sick to work a lot. I shortened my commute (was an hour like yours) and that controlled the issue so I could function. However, the problem was never solved (even after trips to Cleveland Clinic for specialists). They told me I was sick because I was depressed and to double the antidepressant. When I wanted to become pregnant, I decided to discontinue the antidepressant so it wouldn't affect the baby. Well, after about 4 months, it was like a switch was flipped and I could sleep better (still not normally, though, I now believe due to mercury) and I could function semi-normally. I had tried ditching the meds before, but I guess I didn't give it long enough for the residual in my system to clear before deciding it was not the meds.

If you are taking antidepressants, this may not be helping your situation.

I never filed for disability.
