I'm chronically sick, and there is nobody to help.

I am too sick to work, I have tried to get through university twice, but in both years my health has impacted my ability to attend or perform.

I'm in my early 20s, the doctors are doing nothing of importance to improve my situation, and are just doing busy body hand-offs. They run the same tests over and over again, but never find anything. Because they can't find anything, I can't get any external support or help.

My parents want me out of the house, but honestly I couldn't take care of myself like this.

The small amount of money I had is running out.

Where do I go with this?
>>
>>17245289
You will need to more specific. Are you unable to do any kind of work or just physical labour?
>>
>>17245595
I'm sick enough that were I to work, I wouldn't be able to go full time. Maybe 3 days a week at a push. But I'd still need help sometimes when it gets bad.
>>
You should probably go see a gynecologist. It seems like you have a massive case of being a giant pussy. Though I doubt they'll be able to diagnose you because unfortunately what you have doesn't exist.

You don't have some rare disease. You're just a pussy and you need more people like me telling you how it is and not coddling you. It seems as though your parents are on the right track with wanting you out of the house...
>>
>>17246496
Wow, how insightful and wise this is; why hadn't I thought of that? All I need to do, is more stuff! Thank you Mister Edgy 4Chan user for pointing that out to me, the wooly veil has been lifted from my eyes.

I'll just take the chronic muscular pain, headaches, fatigue, shaking etc. and put them away in a little box, and then I'll just do everything I want again.

Don't be a fucking retard. You think I haven't tried? You think I haven't put in time and effort to trying to get better with the mentality of 'the more I do the more I cope'? It doesn't work. I end up getting really sick to the point I almost pass out walking short distances. This isn't fun.

im in the medical field bro and is sounds as if your immune system is failing but old news to you huh! drink green tea. watch what you eat. get rest. no stress.stress kills yo! hmmmmm. have sex see idf that helps.some peepz are just born fucked. parents do stupid shit and then expect thier babies to be healthy.
>>
Right now your priority should be finding out what your problem is.
Change doctors. Go to different clinics. Go to different specialist (rheumatology and neurology should be the two things you focus on). Look if there is a rare diseases specialist near you. It will be draining, but at the end you'll find out.
Once you found out what your problem is, shit will be easier.
It sounds like something autoimmune to me, and those are easily manageable.

While you are finding out what your problem is, keep your sleep and your diet in check. Eat healthy, lots of veggies and vitamins, and sleep at least 8 hours a day.
>>
>>17247329
>>17247395
Yeah, it's a real possibility it's an immune or autoimmune problem.

If I get sick, like a cold or anything, it lasts for weeks. The worst one was when I caught the flu a couple of years ago and it went on for almost 4 months.

I'm not getting sick easily, but it's really fucking me up when I do. They did a ultrasound on my abdomen because I have pain the right side, said my spleen was a little enlarged but nothing too alarming. They were checking for renal failure.

But other than bloods and that one scan... they've done sweet fuck all over the last few years.
>>
>>17247430
Rare diseases are hard to diagnose, doctors don't diagnose them often and don't recognize the symptoms.

Go to a rheumatologist, they treat autoimmune diseases.
Keep a diary of all the symptoms you have. Take a notebook and write down everything.
Put together an history of all the major problems you've had and all blood tests and scans and whatever.

Also - enlarged spleen can be a manifestation of autoimmune problems.
Did they ever check your white cells counts and that kind of stuff?
>>
>>17247462
White cell and t count were normal.

Just to be clear, I also got screened for Glandular Fever and Celiacs and nothing came up.
>>
OP could it be that you are hypochondriac?
>>
>>17247762
I considered it could be psychosomatic. I thought it was depression related because I'd been depressed and had anxiety problems years ago, but it's been recurring with more and more physiological symptoms on top.

I've got dark circles under my eyes that I can never seem to get rid of, but from time to time, they'll fade on their own, and I can feel a substantial improvement in energy and capability. I've tried everything normal, diet, exercise, sleep, stress management etc., but I can't find a way to alleviate the fatigue.

Also, why would I have the flu for the best part of 4 months? It was horrible. Two weeks of throwing up and bed ridden, followed by 10 more of being very frail, and then a few of just being under the weather. That's clearly not right.

>i'm a massive pussy
>excuses
>wah wahh
>excuses
>gets verbally attacked and acts like an even bigger bitch
See, you're doing it again. You're acting like a massive giant gaping vagina.

This is some psychosomatic problem that can be solved when you stop whining and thinking you're a bitch, because it just makes you a bitch.

inb4 edgy again. No, let's just take a look at your life. You're 20 something. You live at home. You don't work. You have no education. You have no skills.You have no income. Your life is caving in around you because you lack the means to move forward. It's called stress you fucking baby.
>>
>>17247780
Are you edgy or genuinely retarded?
>>
>>17247801
>thinks being realistic is being edgy

Occam's Razor would say that you're just being a pussy and you don't have some disease that can't be diagnosed. It's incredibly rare in the year 2016 to come down with some disease or ailment that medicine can't diagnose. Keyword incredibly rare. Meaning it does occur but the odds of it happening to you? Slim to none.

Keep crying. It's just going to prolong your "sickness"
>>
>>17247780
be honest here;
you aren't of the most successful variety of people?

It sounds like you're legitimately trying to help the guy, only the way that you're trying to help him is literally some way that you've learned from people who were only pretending to legitimately try to help you when you were in his situation or similar, and now you suck balls and have gotten used to it so why wouldn't everyone else too?

Getting your health issues under control is of crucial importance for someone who DOESN'T actually want to be a burden to others, and fyi I don't think you understand what "psychosomatic" means.
>>
you should start taking vitamins, b12 will help with your anxiety and energy levels. vitamin c will help with your immune system. iron in case they reason you feel frail is because you have an iron deficiency. and fish oil.
>>
>>17245289
Go to a psychiatrist.
You only think you're sick. I know my fair share of people like you. Get your shit together or prepare for the consequences lazy fucker.

And there goes the buzzword that makes everyone reading this thread instantly acknowledge that you are undeniably fucking dirt.
>>

>I'll just take the chronic muscular pain, headaches, fatigue, shaking etc. and put them away in a little box, and then I'll just do everything I want again.
PSYCHIATRIST.
Go, faggot.
Even the fact that you think your problems sources are physical is enough for you to be crazy.
>>
I have narcolepsy. I will be tired for the rest of my life. I have to take uppers everyday so I don't fall asleep on my ass. I went to university. I have a job, I pay taxes. If you're not mentally disabled, you honestly have no excuse. The world doesn't wait for you to get better, anon. It moves on with or without you. Get going.
>>
>>17247928
That's literaly what he is asking; what can he do to move on...
>>
>>17246669
how do u sit when ur on the computer? are ur knees and back in a weird way or compressed? do u move ur neck at all? maybe u just need a desk that allows u to be more comfortable as well as a better chair. and i actually have muscle pain from this problem as well.
>>
>>17247395
no need to scare him...if it was autoimmune or immune system problem it wouldve shown up on a blood test.
>>
>>17248025
I am not trying to scare him!
The best thing he can do is find out what the problem is and work on it. Until he finds out, he won't feel any better.
Unfortunately not every autoimmune disease is identifiable by a blood test, otherwise doctors would be useless.
I had amazing blood exams for all my life, but I have an autoimmune disease and I've been bedridden for 2 years because of it.
>>
>>17247938
Is it really? Sounds more like he wants us to throw the pity party for him.
>>
i think you should follow their advice, take the vitamins recommended here and go see a psychiatrist. also are you sleeping well? if not maybe take melatonin an hour or two before you are ready for bed.

Huh, made a thread asking about medical help and just got one person shit posting over and over again with absolutely nothing meaningful to say.

Firstly, it's not not me claiming I have some crazy rare illness. It's me saying the doctors are running the same tests over and over and finding nothing, a general blood panel, and one ultrasound, are not a definitive means of diagnosis. If it were, we wouldn't have the other innumerable medical technologies for aiding with diagnosis.

Secondly, you're sick and therefore nobody else can be sick? And you're trying to play me off as being a special snow flake? Good god you're a fucking faggot. At least you got a diagnosis. Just because you had a psychiatric problem doesn't mean everyone else who's sick does.

Thirdly I've had these problems since I was about 10. I just pushed through them. They are becoming too much of a burden to push through.

But it's easy to shit on one sick person online right Anon?
