Why can't I work? I'm only 34. Why can't I have a normal sex life, go
clubbing, go horseriding, walk my dogs, drive my car, visit my friends,
etc. etc. etc.
At least some people are doing something instead of sitting on their fat
arses twiddling their thumbs. The more I read about Dr Shoemaker, the more
excited I am about my symptoms. Not that being diagnosed with IBS, chronic
fatigue, sciatica, acid reflux, non-specific dust allergy, can get anyone
excited!!!
I live in the UK and don't get access to a lot of the American drugs
everyone in the chat rooms are talking about. But I am going to see my GP
asap and WILL NOT be fobbed off with another prescription or sick note.
If I am successful I will let you know how I got on!!!
