I am very glad I came on here. It is hard for me to talk about this with most people, which means there is a loneliness to it as well. People who don't understand (including doctors) do not usually take a positive, "don't give up" kind of stance, so I cannot overstate how good it feels to hear words of encouragement and advice from people who actually do understand.
Reading these posts over the last day, I have not been able to stop thinking about my problem. I'm back in school, not working...I think that it is the right time for me to make a very serious commitment to figure this out, without taking anything off of the table. Even if nothing comes out of it, I think that the effort will leave me better off than just laying down and accepting things as they are. I have been so depressed about it and, frankly, ashamed that it has been hard for me to research it. This strategy has not worked for me.
I did not know what to expect coming on here. It was only a day since I first posted and look at how many people replied with advice and encouragement. I want to thank you folks for being so kind. Truly awesome.
I am taking all of your suggestions to heart and going to let this settle in for a couple of days. It is clear that there are a lot of different things that I could be doing. I need to formulate a plan of action and then commit to it. It probably starts with research and specific vitamins, probably more therapy and maybe neurological scanning down the road. I think that the commitment will be the key, and this is what I have lacked.
If you guys have specific suggestions as to which vitamins might be most beneficial to me, this would be greatly appreciated.
It will help me to keep posting regarding my progress and what I am doing, so I will probably keep doing that here. Maybe someday it will be a good story.
Thanks again.
