Hello my name is Dom.
I struggle everyday with a mystery illness.
The symptoms go back as far as I can remember and I feel this is something I have had since birth.
I live with brainfog, constant pressure in the head, weakness down left side, cognitive problems - memory problems/getting words out, cognitive processing problems, feels like there is a sort of disconnection in my brain, inability to engage with anything - feels like there is a barrier between me and the world. There is also extreme fatigue.
I have been to doctors and been diagnosed with depression and also bipolar disorder. I do not however think it is either of these. Behind all these problems I am actually quite a happy being. I have had treatment from spiritual healers and shamans yet none of them have got to the bottom of this.
I am really struggling to find a diagnosis or a way for me to move forward and it is quite unsettling. I am unable to work or do anything much.
Has anyone here experienced anything similar? Or have you any advice for me?
I have been considering getting an MRI scan but am doubtful as to whether anything will show up. Anyway, I thank you all for your time and feel blessed to post on this forum.
Much love.
