I know there's lots of us out there without any answers. You've taken blood tests, nothing. MRI, nothing. CAT scans, nothing. Doctors have no idea whats wrong and might even be thinking you're making it all up or are a hypochondriac. So since doctors are in awe of our problems, we have to take it upon ourselves to figure this out. 

First things first, lets get some stories and lets try and find some common ground, what do we all share in common?

For starters, is it safe to say we all suffer from depression and/or general anxiety disorder?

    Hi Jay. I suspect here are lots of conditions that can cause these symptoms. I get that way when I'm really stressed out.

    My neighbor recently had a urinary tract infection that didn't have any of the usual expected symptoms. But she was confused, depressed, and spacey. It turned out that after the infection cleared up, her mental function returned to normal.

    One thing you could try is to make sure your diet and exercise program is really good. Make sure you get enough B complex vitamins, vitamin C, and a lot of omega 3 fat acids.
