I swear I think I have the worst immune system in the world. If it's not one thing, it's something else. In the past month almost, I have not felt 100% for even one day. I have constant headaches.. every single f-cking day. I throw up in the morning every once and awhile. I'm almost always shaking. I'm easily irritated. I know some of this contributes to my hyperthyroidism, but the other stuff is just random. I just want it to go away.. because I'm FINALLY doing better in school and I don't want to get behind because of me NEVER feeling well. I do not have any energy like ever. >>

No, I'm not pregnant like some of my friends have suggested. >> I'm soooo tired of going to doctors and them giving me no answers. All I get is that I have a virus, or something along those lines. They give me medicine.. but it doesn't go away. It has only gotten worse lately. I really don't know what to do. I wish I could just suck it up and go, but it's soooo hard.

What am I going to do..

im sorry to be so forward about this, but it is in the spirit of helping out...

Are you on any birth control? My friend had similar symptoms when she went on the pill. It lasted for a while until they found out it was adverse sideaffects to the birth control pill. After that the doctor gave her a pill that had a lower dosage of hormones and she was fine, or at least much much more manageable.

edit: for sake of privacy, i wouldnt reply to this post. Just take is as a suggestion

I'll reply.. it's ok. Yes, I'm on birth control (to regulate my period), but I am on the lowest dosage (ortho tricyclen lo).. and I don't think this is it because when I was on the higher dosage and got morning sickness.. I would throw up once and be okay. But this is almost like a constant need to throw up. I seriously have to go lay down to prevent it. Thank you though for helping.. <3 It could be it, but I don't know. Maybe I should stop taking them for awhile and see if I notice a difference. But I really don't think that's the problem. SIGH. >> >>

Did you get check lately? musta got some sort of disease from Mynzeyes. jk

I went thru something close to what ur describing this time last year. lasted 3 months and i did numerous tests. Had them put a camera down my throat into my stomach and such. They found nothing. I went to the doctor just about every week for 2 months and they found nothing. I then got better and now its coming back a bit.

stress causes alot of that crap as well.

PMS >>

yes stress would probably be a good factor contributing to your sickness. I definetly feel worst when im stressed and depressed. But luckily this past week is so much better than the rest of this past month.


Keep your chin up things will get better. You cant get down on the little things. if its not someone in my family dying or something of that nature then i try to let it slide now. Its not worth the emotions

take vitamins and drink oj. works all the time. if you feel like your getting sick, take Zinc...so good for preventing colds

-NYCelica+Jan 28, 2005 - 7:32 AMUm, no..


-boosted_K2+Jan 28, 2005 - 9:28 AMThat's a good possibility. >>


-DamDirtyApes+Jan 28, 2005 - 9:51 AMEw, I hope not.. what are the symptoms to that?


-Jdog1385+Jan 28, 2005 - 5:51 PMThank you. I do need to start taking vitamins.

If the doctors keep saying its a virus then medicine wont work. Viruses dont have cures, as previously said vitamins are the way to go.

Whats up with womens immune systems? I never get sick and if I catch something its hardly distinguishable from not being sick. Most guys I know are the same way. But women I know are always sick and ****. I really don't buy what people say about women having a better immune system and high tolerance for pain, because all my experiences show the exact opposite, I think its just fem-nazi propaganda.

Viruses have cures, hense antiviral drugs but I don't think typical antibiotics work on them, it has to be a case specific drug.

just fyi drinking juice with vitamins is a bad idea. it coats your stomach so it doesn't absorb the vitamins as much. you will notice an immediate difference when you switch to water

Drink water at least 8 16 oz glasses a day, yea I know it sounds like a clite' but 90% of fatigue is caused by being dehydrated. Also take 3g of vitamin c a day and take a good mult vitamin in the morning. You will be suprised at how much better you feel. You could also try green tea, its a very good AO and is just plain good for you.

don't know you very well jen but from what we have talked about it is stress. Simply put you worry about things too much and its taking its toll >>

Everyone at work has been sick lately. I'm glad I never get sick. Hope you feel better >>

never knew that..learn something new everyday. but your right, water is always the best liquid to drink..it flushes your system out

It could be Ebola. Either that or athlete's foot. Are you experiancing any anal leakage?












Maybe you should just ask a doctor what's wrong.

i always thought ortho was high in hormones >> anyways sounds like you have a low iron count from what you describe to me (anemia), but I would hope doctors would pick up on that...

I don't know about stress being a cause or even contributing factor. Im the king of stress, I have anxiety about everything. The only thing Ive got out of it is chronic heart burn.

Is this a fact or just another old wives tail?

its true, stress can lead to ulcers... >>

Take Vitimin C >>

like orange juice... whatever... When i get sick, I just drink a lot... My theory is, is that if you drink a lot of water/whatever, it will wash away the sicness outa yur system! >> so far its worked with me >>
