Chronic Fatigue: Kicked it’s butt

0ver 20 years ago I contracted Mono and several other viruses. Today it sounds like I had Guillain Barre. Of course over 20 years ago the doctors had no clue so it was in my head. Doctors in general sit on a very high pedestal and they need to come down to earth. I engineer electrical systems and when a system stops working properly I troubleshoot and find what stopped working. It took over 2 years to beat enough information out of doctors for me to troubleshoot the problem. I contracted Mono for which there is a test, so that much we knew. I never got better. Terrible muscle and joint pain throughout my body. Extremely weak immune system. I developed extreme allergies, which I never had before. I always had pneumonia My equilbrillium was off pretty bad too I was always walking into doorways.This is what happen after 2 years. Okay they tried this and that and gave a lot of drugs a lot of antibiotics. I was taking drugs for side effects from other drugs. After 2 years I got extremely angry and decided it was time to “troubleshoot”. I cannot remember the names of the all the drugs. I remember some of the antibiotics. I was on Amoxicillin and Keflex. We were going to try a new drug. Okay this drug it’s is for the relief on the symptoms it is not a cure it won’t cure me. I threw that sample prescription right in the wastebasket in the exam room right in front of the doctor. Just like this, this is how it went down ” I have been coming in here for 2 years and you have been giving stuff that is for the relief of the symptoms of Okay we are going to knock this $hit off Doc because I am sick of being sick I what a cure” “Well there is no cure we don’t even know what you have” Okay let’s start small so you can keep up. I have allergies where I never had them before. Well body chemistry changed and now your bodies immune system goes into overdrive when you are exposed to and outside substance like duct or animal hair maybe pollen. Okay great something is not working properly and now I have reason why this is called troubleshooting. Now we have find out why. How do we work on allergies? How do we test for allergies? Doctors response: I do not deal with allergies. I never saw that doctor again. I went to an ear, nose and throat specialist. He did not cure me of my allergies, but he gave me enough information to take in the next level. I set up each symptom I had and knocked it down without drugs and I did not follow anything the doctors wanted me to do. I spent the next 2 years going to appointments and got information from them about how things in the body work, but I never followed their directions 3 years from the time I threw the sample prescription in the waste basket I was running 33 miles a week and felt like a million bucks. The doctors for the most part I not even looking in the right place. I could write on about each symptom and exactly what I did there is scientific explanation for everything I did, but my time is up for now.
