Kirsten, I've only been on PT for a year, and I know some of your health problems precede my posting, so forgive me if any of this has been done or visited before.

You need to be analyzed by a diagnostic specialist and could use some couseling for depression as well. Your symptoms are well beyond what most of us can help you with other than getting things out of your system and hopefully saying words that might make you feel slightly better.

A diagnostician needs to put all your ailments together and figure out what's causing them. Your immune system is obviously shot (something I can relate to), but they need to figure out why. There must be a base cause. Depression can also do very real and serious damage to your physical health and cannot be left untreated.

Please know we're all here, we care about what happens to you, are praying for a solution, and will be there for you all along the way if you need us. Please let us know.

Maggie
