This is a very interesting site. I'm glad I stumbled upon it.

I am a 29 yo stay a home mother. I have had array of strange symptoms since about the age of 19. Starting with episodes that include my vision going out and my left side going numb. I have been tested for everything you can imagine - to no avail.

Two of the doctors that I was seeing felt for sure that I was dealing with MS. All tests proved them wrong.

I finally turned to a therapist. Hoping that maybe someone in the psychology field would recognize something. Again the guess was MS. Coming from a therapist whose husband lives with MS. She sent me on to a neuro-psych. Once more the testing showed nothing.

I finally felt that doctors were not going to be able to diagnose me, and stopped seeing them . In the mean time I researched everything I could. So many conditions sounded like it could be me, but not completely. It's like a huge puzzle with no solution.

In all my research, I have adopted a much healthier lifestyle . In every opportunity I try to make the most healthy discussion.

My current symptoms include

- brain fog
- extreme fatigue
- memory problems
- teeth problems
- migraine type headaches

and I could go on and on.

I think they all have to be connected in some way. The problem with doctors seems to be that they will treat each symptom rather than find a cause. Maybe it's because they can't.

I am currently seeing a doctor again. This past weekend, I was driving and suddenly felt like I was having a hot flash. It progressed to a loud throbbing in my head and a tight feeling in my chest - like I couldn't breathe. I pulled over into a parking lot and thought that I might have to call an ambulance. It was very scary. When I bent over I vomited a tiny bit and started to feel a bit better. I told my doctor this and she said I was having a panic attack. I am not convinced at all.

Just another strange thing that happens to me without any explanation. I am having problems with nearly all the teeth in the rear of my mouth and much as it horrifies me to loose my teeth I am considering having them all removed and going to dentures. I do realize that extraction brings up health issues as well. It is something I need to take a lot of time and research. Maybe I will get some ideas here.

I have two children. My oldest was vaccinated - because I didn't know any better. He spent much of his young childhood on antibiotics and different meds for this and that. My youngest was not vaccinated and has never been given anything other than Tylenol. I was told by his pediatrician that if I chose not to vaccinate, that he would not continue seeing us. I told him I would take that into consideration - we haven't been back since. Nor have we needed to.

That sums it up in a nut shell I think. I am very interested in what you may think
