To Anon/it's all in your head

[Guest guest]

Anon,

In regards to doctors telling you " it's all in your

head " ... I agree and disagree with doctors on this

one. Although I certainly believe in a mind-body

connection, and I believe that certain circumstances

can lead to certain physical problems, it hurts me to

hear that your doctors are telling you this. That's

only going to add to your frustration.

I finally found a doctor who realized that my

endocrine system was really messed up, and was

affecting all kinds of things. I feel worlds better

now that I'm on medication to regulate some of my

endocrine glands/hormones, even though I still have an

elevation in antibodies and a few other wacky things.

Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that even though

emotional states can certainly lead to physical

problems, DON'T let doctors convince you that you're

crazy for knowing your own body. I went through that

once and it was extremely frustrating. (Like we

haven't already had enough stress with our Nadas/Fadas

denying our reality, and then some doctor tells you

it's in your head when YOU'RE the one who's been

living in your body for several decades.)

Good luck finding a GOOD doctor. They're hard to find

sometimes, but there are still some out there. I hope

you find out what's going on and start feeling better.

I think that tackling some of these Nada/Fada issues

will help us physically as well as mentally. If our

emotional state/environment creates a very REAL

physical problem, we still need a little medical help

getting the end result fixed (while WE work on the

environmental circumstances to prevent it from

happening again). Best wishes in your quest for better

health.
