Hi, my name if Ashley, I'm 19 years old and I'm just chronically fatigued and sick. First of all, it started in high school, years ago. I was constantly tired, unlike the other kids in my grade I had no energy. I missed A LOT of school and almost failed because it just took so much out of me to get out of bed. I felt weak and exhausted. I went to doctors all the time who would tell me I'm fine. Keep in mind that my parents are health nuts and so my diet and exercise is very healthy. But anyways, I just felt like a zombie, I still do. I'm sluggish and my brain is in a fog. I can't go two months without getting sick with something. I've had strep 4 times. Very recently I've been getting a lot worse. I'm VERY nauseous, which makes in hard to eat. I've been nauseous for about a month and a half. My hands are sweaty, always, for no reason. I'm always cold, even when everyone around me is hot. I fainted three times in one day a few months ago and almost fainted in the shower again. I'm very weak and it's hard for me to make it up my stairs. I'm very forgetful as well and I've been having trouble focusing. I get headaches very easily as well.
Anyways, I've been going to doctors for years about this and every time they take blood from me and it all comes back normal. It makes me feel like a crazy person, like I'm making this all up in my head. I have no idea what could be wrong with me! It's really hard to go through life like this, I've lost all of my friends because I don't have the energy to do fun things with them. It's very hard for me to make it to my college classes. I really need a solution before it completely ruins my life forever. So anyways, my symptoms are nausea, fatigue, foggy feeling, weak, sweaty hands, chills, headaches, and this has all been happening for years. Please, please help.
Thank you,
Ashley
