    I am new to formula and not very internet savvy. I don't know if it is helpful to add that I am now disabled because of chronic pain and limited movement. I have been going to doctors for years about what is happening to my body and get a few diagnosis here and there, but for the most part I have been labeled as a hypochondriac or mentally unstable like I am faking my pain and fatigue.

    Hi Kimberly. I know what you mean. Drs fobbed me off for years. Told me it was all in my mind. I have jhs not fun at all. 

    Have you been tested for eds or marfins syndrome. You just have to find a dr that listens and tests for the not so obvious. Try to keep a good attitude and help yrself. Sounds harsh but that's how it is. No one understands unless they're in the same boat. 

    Good luck.
