I am not depressed, I have a very optimsitic outlook on Life. I do suffer chronic pain mostly from Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Snydrome. And I can't exercise, my lungs have a disease that makes it very hard for me to breath so I'm alwasy SOB. I also have a very fast heart beat with no known cause. I think my heart is normal. My thyroid tested normal too, at least on the blood test.

Is there anything that can make me not so sleepy? Even the Provigil barely helps (it's a drug to stimulate me). Sometimes I feel like I can't function at all, and go into a deep sleep.

Could this be environmental? Allergies? And most of all, what will reverse this condition before it does affect my heart from lack of exercise? I'm really worried. 44 years old. Non smoker, don't drink. Will a homeopathic doctor help?

If this is worrying you, just download this page, and take it to your doctor, and give it to them. Or get a second opinion from another doctor. Maybe a specialist.
If you are going to get a second opinion, from a homeopathic doctor, make sure they are registered, and are a general practitioner,or specialist, with an interest in homeopathy medicine.
Only a trained professional can give you advice. Also let everyone know, that this is worrying you, by talking about your fears with the doctors/specialists that you consult. Talk about the fears you have mentioned above. Download the page and take it with you.

I told her to ask her rheumatologist if he had ever heard of a relationship of RA to allergy, and he said yes, there were foods that seemed to make it worse. Then I asked her to find a doctor who knew about clinical ecology, and to be tested for allergies, which she did, and then called me.

She said "No wonder my hands were so sore and I kept them under running water in your sink, (warm or cold?)"
While she was here she had corn on the cob, corn bread, deep fried fish (dipped in corn meal to fry), and cream style corn, and when the testing showed allergy to corn and she left it alone, the pain went away. She had not been able to raise her arms up high at all, but can now put them straight up over her ears, also eliminating the things she tested allergic to. She was allergic to corn, beef, garbanzo beans (!) but that included peas, beans, peanuts, and when she stopped eating the things on the list, she got enough better that her doctor was arranging to have new joints for her fingers.
But her age and cancer canceled that plan.

Why not Google Theron Randolph, and see of you can find one of his books, "An Alternative Approach To Allergies".

I did google "juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, allergies", and found the web site below, and I'm including a book mentioned in this article about Heidi, who had JVD. You'll find her story interesting reading.

"I was given the book Is This Your Child by Doris Rapp. Dr. Mercola began testing Heidi for allergies and found she was allergic to all types of mold, formaldehyde, milk, wheat, corn, beans, peanuts and tomatoes. The connection between what she ate and how she felt was amazing. Corn products produced excruciating pain. We discovered many food products have corn hidden in their ingredients…."

http://www.rheumatic.org/heidi.htm is the site, and Dr. Doris Rapp has other books on allergy also.

I hope this information is able to give you a much better life to look forward to. May God bless you.

Canajoh, my husband & I feel the same way. We are questioning the sarcoids. I have already had a 2nd opinion which came back inconclusive for sarcoids but they still said it was sarcoids. This is my health they are playing with. By the way, my doctor is making arrangements for me to go to the Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis, MO. but they have been booked up. Sad to say.

Thanks to all for your support.

whoa! reading your question, i can almost feel the pain — that's tough. all i know is the reason why you're having pulmonary hypertension is because you're having lung problems that's why you're on oxygen and cpap. but the rest? not really in my area of expertise but looks like your problems stems from neuromuscular disorders. and now they found spots in your brain to which your doctor would not do anything? try seeking second opinion — to tell you the truth, if i were the doctor and you have all of these conditions — it IS tough and i wouldn't know where to start.

i think they should have tests done to you to see where the root of all problems originates and try to fix that and slowly working outwards to other problem areas as well. the most important thing is to find out where it all originated and treat that. because im guessing the symptoms you're getting right now are side effects of that "root problem"
