January 2011 - Mayo Clinic

 After 9.5 months of being sick I am finally at the Mayo Clinic getting help.  It's been a difficult summer, fall, and winter, living with this mysterious, debilitating illness.  It hangs around my head like an old tire, pulling me down to the ground.  My muscles are always weak, and breathing is labored and difficult.  Ringing in my ears is near constant, and my chest and lungs feel tight and constricted.  On a positive note, my fingernails have cleared up.

There are only slight slivers of the gold remaining.  Most of the nails are clear.  Vitamin use has increased and the following have allowed me to function where I am.  Without these supplements I would be in bed too fatigued to move around.  Vitamin D3 (4000 IU a day) Fish Oil, Vitamin C (2000 mg day) Vitamin E (1000 IU) Dophilus.  Even so...the condition grips me and keeps me burdened.  In the Mayo Medical System now, so hopefully they will get to the bottom of this and offer me some relief.
