I have severe insomnia, chronic migraines, IBS-C, depression/anxiety, and have tried so many different treatments and prescriptions. It’s so debilitating and frustrating. I’ve spent the past 18 months changing up every medication that I’m on with no luck managing any of these issues.

I can see why you are frustrated,

I have PCOS, T2 diabetes, psoriatic arthritis and osteoarthritis, osteopenia, hypothyroidism, Sjogren's, DDD, metabolic syndrome, fibromyalgia. I think that's everything!
All of my health issues are well controlled and I do my part by having a healthy diet, exercising, and regular PT. I also don't smoke or drink alcohol. Basically my life revolves around keeping my medical issues in check and staying as healthy as I can.
I haven't had a pain free day in 33 years. Pain is my constant companion and I don't remember what it was like not having pain. And while I occasionally have a bad day emotionally, I'm a positive person. Lots of people deal with much more than I do and they do it with a smile.
My health concerns do control my life and body and they probably even define me on some level. But I control how I respond to them. Just call me the "glass is half full girl". @

Depression/anxiety disorder, widespread osteoarthritis, Type 2 diabetes with a device sounding if my blood sugar gets too low, ileostomy bag due to Crohn's, both adult children estranged from us due to THEIR mental health issues = very bad insomnia. Just about to give up at age 71.
