So, you know how I said that I'd tried so many doctors, I was now looking for a witch doctor to see if they could help? Well, I found one. Through my sister, who got a facebook message from a friend who had seen me holding my head at church, and who knew a friend who had a doctor. . .anyway, I went to see him a few weeks ago.
The door says "chiropractor", but I've been to chiropractors, and that wouldn't be my description. He uses EFT (emotional freedom techniques, you know, tapping?), herbs and supplements, chiropractic adjustments, and some really weird stuff. Like telling me that the left side of my brain is slower, and so I need to push, pull, turn all the joints on the right side of my body twice a day. And wear blue glasses for four hours. And eat two tablespoons of sea salt a day. And he checked out all my supplements by putting them on my tummy and asking my body if they were good for it or not. Luckily, all but two were, so I haven't been completely wasting my money.
I'm supposed to fax him my last blood tests, but I haven't found them yet. Maybe because I haven't looked yet. But, I have been so tired lately. He gave me some pills for my adrenal glands, which he said were completely worn out, and promised me energy. Instead, I feel like I've been catching up on the last seven years of real sleep I've missed. Which is nice in its own way, but, man, I feel like such a slug.
I'll have to admit that although I laugh a lot at all the weird stuff he does and has me do, I have a lot of respect for the guy. He has a really thorough understanding of the body and how all the systems relate to each other and interact, which is reassuring. And he gets that emotions affect the physical state. Not to mention, he's pretty darn cute.

I have a dear, dear friend who went to a chiropractor who also practiced EFT. She'd been on all sorts of fertility treatments for four years - she'd been through the works. Her body was so hammered from all of the hormones and everything else they'd put her through that she was breaking down.
She was put in touch with this guy - in much the same way that you were put in touch with your doctor - and she was pregnant a week after her visit with him (and no, it wasn't his ;)).
She was emotionally wasted for a few weeks because of how much she released - much more than he expected or thought was healthy at one time - but she was pregnant and so very glad.
I hope he helps you as much as my friend was helped. Doesn't hurt that he's cute.
