Hi. I'm looking for a little help, because I'm not sure if I'm really sick or not, but I want to make sure and get a few opinions beofre I sa anything to a doctor.

Alright, for the last 7-8 months or so, I've been feeling awful. My family has been telling me that it's all in my head, but I KNOW what I feel. So, I've been having chest pains, I have a loss of appetite, I get stomach cramps during and after I eat, on and off headaches, constant back pain, constant neck pain, and my eyes feel like they're burning at times.

I have no idea what it could be, and I've asked around, but I found nothing.
Please help me-.-

Those all sound like normal body pains. There are tons of possibilities, most likely common things such as sleeping funny, not eating right, etc... I would see a doctor anyways just to see though.

Hello, I'm not certain if this is what you have but for many years I have struggled with the same thing. People kept telling me that it was all in my head, but my mother and I kept pushing for answers, seeing specialists and a multitude of doctors. For the longest time I felt like everyone thought I was crazy. I kept having knee pain. They would hurt really badly and make a gross crunching noise when I would go up the stairs. I would feel very fatigued all the time. I would get dizzy in bright light. I would have random shooting pains in my chest, legs and arms. First, we found out I don't absorb vitamin D. I got prescribed pills for that, but later my symptoms worsened. After seeing yet another doctor, and running more tests, we figured out that I have the autoimmune disease known as Lupus. What you are describing could be any number of things, but since your symptoms are similar to mine, I wanted to tell you of Lupus. Basically, it's when your body doesn't know what part of you is you and what part of you is virus so it attacks everything. In most cases it is mild. It isn't cure-able, but it is treatable, and many more people have it than most realize. See your physician and ask about it if they still haven't found answers. If people keep telling you you're crazy, keep pushing back! You are the only one that can advocate for your health. It's your body, and only you can feel what is wrong.
