I need to ask you guys something about health insurance... I'm from the UK so I know very little about it. Infact the concept of private healthcare is totally foreign to me (and unacceptable, but I'll save that for another discussion!!!). :ymad: I need a local health insurance policy for where...

Thanks, I really appreciate your kind words. Wow, you're really being tested at the moment, I feel for you. That sounds like a medical nightmare, esp dysautonomia masking the symptoms of other illnesses, it basically gives doctors a license to palm you off with the line: "it's probably just your...

That's horrific man, but you've lived through it all. You must be a strong dude. :hang: As far as social life etc. I find that you have to almost view a longterm illness as beginning a fresh chapter in your life. You may be unable to play sports or socialise as much as you did in the past but...

Jeez. My sympathies man. I hope things work out for you. It sounds like you may have to take the leap and accept surgery, it sounds like things couldn't get too much worse for you as you are now. As a kid I always thought a bag would be the worst possible thing to live with. I couldn't get my...

I am going to be 100% honest with you guys. I feel so low... 10 years ago I was diagnosed with CFS and I gradually managed to overcome it during the last 2 years. My wife and I moved to the Carribean 3 years ago because we felt it would be of benefit to my health. It was. In the last 3 years I...

I actually went to the ER with pain under my left rib yesterday morning. Dr did bloods, basic XRay of abdomen, urine test and discharged me. I then found out that my international insurance won't cover me because of a preexisting condition. I feel pretty low. Seems like whatever is going on with...

Thanks for giving me such a warm welcome guys. I find the pains in my gums and jaw strange. I guess they could be unrelated to my bowel problems but it'd be a coincidence because I've never even had a filling in my life. I have a really bad taste in my mouth too, sour and metallic. My face is...

Thanks you guys! The strange thing re my dental problems is that I don't have any gum disease. My gums are in pretty good condition, they just receded fast and ache like crazy. My dentist couldn't find the cause of it but suggested he thinks is symptomatic of an overall health problem...

Hey you guys! :thumright: I've been reading some of your posts for the last half an hour and there is some inspirational stuff in this forum. There's also a lot of knowledge, and I hope I can get some opinions from you... My problems began approx 2 years ago. I was fairly healthy in general...
