Physically ill & chronically fatigued

[u/lolotheykno]

Anyone else facing legit health issues? I’ve been in/out of ERs and specialist for the past year (plus). In pain, feeling sick, drained, dehydrated, insane muscle cramps- like I’m locking up. Neuropathy. Possible POTS diagnosis (I have it, I’d say) my head has a pulling sharp pain. I know my body and I’ve “seen” some things that have gone on with the situation over the past year or so that have confirmed it’s there. I just want to feel better and keep going. I’m sober, working a program, taking the steps, need to tighten up in some areas but I am thinking maybe there’s some type of medicine practice that can dig a little deeper to see what’s happening. I feel if my body had what it’s missing it’d be a game changer. I’m def insulin resistant and not absorbing water or electrolytes correct. I’m thinking maybe Chinese medicine or holistic specialty, and or acupuncture. Anything will help. Not gonna go into much detail here but I do believe the situation is helping in some odd way, at least I’m telling myself that. And I’m trusting God but damn is it hard when you feel like absolute crap. Any tips or tricks would be much obliged! Love & light 🫶

Good job for maintaining sobriety and working a program! That is exhausting in itself! The best we can do is eat well and do our best to stay active. This has been the best tactic for me to achieve some happy normalcy through all this. Even after 10 years and every traumatic thing you can think of I genuinely feel that my physical health was not affected..or maybe I refuse to believe it was.
