Reply #196: A whole mess of problems

[Enoch1981]

I have what me and my mother suspect to be undiagnosed Aspergers and/or sensory integrative disorder. Presently, I'm on SSI for psychiatric problems. I was diagnosed as Bipolar...though from my research I've come to the conclusion that it's more like Borderline personality disorder. I suppose mental health professionals can't use that one when you're young (my problems started when I was 15). I'm not under any treatment at the moment...I refuse to take medication. I seem to be functioning ok all told, thankfully.

Plus, I have been saddled as of late with unexplained medical problems. In my mind, the suspects are either SLE, hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism (a scary one because of its causes), or some hematologic disorder. I don't feel great but I can usually go about my business during the day...but in the evening, especially on a bad day, I'm almost confined to my bed. On a cold day forget it...staying awake is a challenge, lol.

I'm usually in good spirits, though. =)
