Anyone have any advice on how I should go about getting well?

I am 34 years old, and have been sick since I was 16, which is a whopping 18 years. It first started off as feeling weird, kind of like a brain-foggy feeling. It got so bad that my mom took me to the doctor and they diagnosed me as being depressed. It didn't feel like depression to me, but I was 16. What did I know? I was treated with medication, yet it didn't help so I eventually stopped taking it. This brain-foggy feeling has come off and on since then, but with increasingly worse symptoms. After I gave birth to my son in 2000, I started to feel foggy and forgetful more often. I developed an intolerance to all scents and fragrances, and could no longer where my favorite perfumes, deordorant, use cleaners, etc. It became so bad after a while that I would become extremely ill afte shopping in Walmart and had to lay down immediately after going back home. This is definitely not depression! Stupid doctors...Anyway, I am still becoming worse. Every single thing that I eat makes me sick. Even an organic apple will cause me to get a headache or some other weird symptoms. I had to eat nothing but potatoes for a month in 2004 because everything else made me really sick. I ache all over from eating, feel severe nausea, feel extremely foggy, to the point where I can't remember my kids' names for a moment, and many other debilitating symptoms. I have been to allergists, endocronologists, ear, nose and throat specialists, dermatologists, naturopaths, gastroenterologists, etc, yet I'm still suffering. Does anyone have any advice? I am reaching the end of my rope... I need to be able to take care of my kids and not be so grouchy all the time. Thanks. Stacey
