Hi, Badgoyle (like your name!)--Ya know, I don't think anyone can figure out all of our aches and pains and weird stuff. We have all kinds of diagnostic tests and nothing shows up. Why are more and more of us being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, crohn's, lupus, RA, GERD, etc.? I'm sure it has something to do with our lifestyles and environment. We eat a lot of garbage and still expect our bodies and minds to act properly. We take drugs to suppress the "bad" stuff and that leads to screwing with the "good" stuff. We worry and fret and hope for a miracle--yeah, I've been there, too.
I work (part-time, don't have the energy for more) with people with special needs. Some of them are on so many drugs. One problem might be fixed, but another rises up in its place. It's truly a vicious cycle. If one condition is "cured," it invariably brings about a new problem, and it goes on and on. I also believe these folks are used as guinea pigs by the medical community since they're often viewed as "throw away" people.
Maybe working more with holistic practitioners we'd all get better results. The only problem with that is that insurance companies won't pay for it--and why is that?? Anyway, I'm rambling...
Best wishes to you...
