came up quite frequently, my daughter was diagnosed with that, a constant fluish feeling, tired all the time, no energy, two doctors got into a heated argument as to whether that was my condition or not and each presented a ton of medical arguments both pro and con, I had a full body scan, x-rays, and MRI's, I am not ashamed to admit that I dread an MRI, that ten foot long narrow tube scares the crap out of me, get tied down, and noway can I get myself out of there, then the bastards always have computer problems that drags a 45 minute eternal session into a 90 minute session, my doc wants another one, wish my insurance covered Green Bay, that have one 4' in diameter and only 2' deep for the Packers, well I am larger than most of the Packers, anyway, I have plenty of severed ligaments throughout my body and I think that is my major problem, heard growth hormones can help this, but can't find a study and it is illegal so I am told to prescribe these for a healing condition, heard of one study that had good results for us older folks. I use to cuss my CH's, but found it better to completely submit to the pain and to use logic, that not much is wrong with me, lie back, take O2, deep breathes, and pray it passes.
