I have to share our story in case it helps a few or even one of you, because I totally sympathize with your pain. I wish I would have found this info years ago, so I feel obligated to share. I've been trying to figure out what has been making my son feel "like c**p" for years, so this is a long story. He is almost 17 now and we've made a few startling discoveries.

It really started when Jay was about 11 - he was suddenly having great difficulty focusing, needed much longer to complete tasks, was always tired, and had severe stomach aches. He saw a Pediatrician who also happened to be a Psychologist - she dx'd ADD - "but with something else going on here". Later she added that he had "puberty-onset dairy allergy/sensitivity". Never once did she say anything about anxiety. Allergy testing showed no allergies, but he stopped dairy anyway and we tried an elimination diet - no real help. Tried ADD meds for awhile - helped focus somewhat, but side effects were way too scary and other fatigue and stomach issues still present, so stopped meds.

Fast forward a year - we do a major renovation on our house. Jay also gets orthodontic braces. Within about a month, he starts having intense pain and pressure in the backs of his eyes. Most of us might refer to it as a headache, but he insisted it was the backs of his eyeballs.

His PRIMARY symptoms/complaints: Pain and pressure in the backs of his eyes, 24/7 ; brain fog - with great difficulty concentrating and poor memory; dizziness; exhaustion, even after 10 or 11 hours of sleep; overall aches and pains for no apparent reason.

His SECONDARY symptoms/complaints: stomach pain; sore legs or weakness, numbness, tingling in legs and arms; lack of coordination/clumsiness; overheats really easily (this is when he feels the worst - so exercising is difficult); nightmares/night-terrors and even sleepwalking; depression; "floaties" in vision.

Coincidentally, at this same time I started having severe and frequent heart palpitations, which were paricularly bad during PMS time. I would also get weird tingling in my head, chest and arms and feel "buzzy" and anxious (not sure how else to describe it). My husband developed painful arthritis, high blood pressure, started having chest pains and was just always extremely agitated and moody. I'll come back to this later.

We started by asking the Orthodontist if there might be a connection with Jay's braces causing this excruciating eye pain, and he had never heard of such a thing, so we moved on to every specialist under the sun. He saw: Allergist (again, no allergies showed up), Opthamologist, Optometrist, Neurologist, ENT, Physiatrist, and others that I can't even remember at this point. They checked everything: eyes, thyroid, sinuses, all major organs, he had a CT Scan, an MRI, and every possible blood test you could think of. Of course I was searching online endlessly for "eye pain, braces, fatigue" and not coming up with any answers. We tried massage, chiropractor, naturopath, elimination diet, accupressure (which, incidentally, was the ONLY thing that provided any relief - if only for a few hours!) By this point, my son was 14 and so frustrated with no-one being able to figure out what was causing his pain that some of the things he was saying were verging on suicidal. So into the ER I took him - and I'm sure you can ALL guess what we were told ... of course they said he has an ANXIETY DISORDER!! At first I thought, ok, that's a new one, maybe that explains it. So I read all the literature they suggested and that I could find. I went to parent seminars and support-groups. I came to the conclusion very quickly that he probably DID NOT have an anxiety disorder (although I could tell from what I'd learned that others in my family probably did!) ... but not Jay. His NEVER-ENDING PAIN AND FRUSTRATION caused the anxiety, not the other way around, dammit!!! Grrrrrrr....

So then we're back to suspecting the orthodontics, and counting the days till they came off. He was devastated when the braces were removed and it made not one bit of difference to his pain, immediately or over time.

The other odd thing that we noticed was that he would feel worse at certain people's houses, in certain classrooms at school, or even in certain stores. He would be running with his gym class and feel pretty good, and then get to a certain point along the route (always the same point) and feel like he'd been hit by a truck, his head was in a vice, and his legs would seize up. WTF??? The only place he discovered where he felt really good and symptom-free was when he was up in the mountains away from everything, or out in our boat fishing in the ocean.

At this point I also clued into the fact that we had done a major renovation to our house at around the same time his symptoms started - I wondered could we have installed some material that's been making him sick? I sought out and hired a professional Building Biologist to come to our house and test it. She ran the full gamut of tests and we ruled out toxins from building materials. She did find a very small amount of mould deep in our crawl-space, but we don't think that is an issue. She concluded her testing by checking for sources of electromagnetic radiation ... and she showed me the off-the-charts reading coming off her Gauss Meter when held up against Jay's Sonicaire toothbrush plugged in and charging in the bathroom. The one he started using when he got braces. The one he still uses even after the braces are off. She tells me there are advocacy groups trying to have these toothbrushes banned. Then she held her Gauss meter up to the DECT 6.0 cordless phone in Jay's room, next to his bed. She said some people really suffer from Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity, so we may want to try removing any electronics from his sleeping area first and see if it makes a difference to the way he feels.

So we took everything out of his room that night: Cordless phone, wifi-enabled laptop (which he would shove under his bed), PS3, tv, clock radio, everthing. When Jay woke up the next morning, he said it was the best and most refreshing sleep he'd had in 4 years, and he could "hardly feel any eye pain at all". And another interesting tidbit: our dog and 2 cats ALL went in and slept in his room that night - they had NEVER, ever done that before! Hmmmm...

I started researching this unheard of phenomenon of "Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity" (EHS), and I was shocked to find that the list of symptoms not only matched Jay's, they also included the heart palpitations and other symptoms that me and my husband had too. It is believed that there is often some kind of trigger for those who are the most sensitive, and in Jay's case, I believe it was putting that highly-radiating toothbrush into his mouth full of metal twice a day. So things were starting to fall into place now. When we did our renovation, we installed wireless systems everywhere - with those DECT 6.0 cordless phones in almost every room, and of course a wireless router. This router, which we found out are hugely radiating, sat on our main computer desk, so we were sitting within a meter of it. But what about all the different locations where Jay felt the sickest? Turns out the places he felt the worst had the most electronics and WiFi, or concentration of cell phones (he's never had one, thankfully). And the runs in gym class where he'd suddenly get debillitated? The class was running right by a bank of cell phone towers. In most classes he would be surrounded by 25 or 30 students ALL with cellphones in their pockets.

We removed our cordless phones and went back to stricly corded. We planned to go back to cabled internet as soon as we could (it was going to be expensive to rewire our house). I conducted my own "blind test" one day to see how much the router affected Jay. He was sitting at the computer desk working on his grade 11 Math. He was struggling, confused, collapsing on his papers and gripping his head where it hurt. Without him knowing, I unhooked the router and he was honestly like a puppet being pulled up by strings. He suddenly understood the math and started working furiously on it cuz it suddenly made sense, and he was so happy. After about 10 minutes I secretly plugged it back in, and right away he collapsed back into a confused heap. WOW. We have since done a few other similar tests to prove that we were not imagining something that wasn't there, and we were convinced. We booked the networking technician to come in and rewire us asap- no more wireless anything for us! After it was done, not only did Jay feel quite a bit better, but my heart palpitation problems (which I'd been put on medication for) virtually stopped, as did the weird tingling/buzzy feeling. My husband's arthritis calmed way down, the chest pains stopped, and his agitation was reduced by about 90%. Although Jay was feeling quite a bit better, it turned out that he was also suffering from Obstructive Sleep Apnea and huge tonsils all along, which we are presently dealing with. That part of the story I will leave out for now, but I do believe it is all connected.

I could literally go on for hours about all that I've learned about EHS, and provide hundreds of links ... but I know I can't do that on this forum. EHS is an official medical disability in Sweden, where they've done some of the most thorough research. Ironically, Canada (where we are), the US and the UK have some of the highest (worst) "safe level" microwave radiation standards in the world ... the levels that we are "allowed" to be exposed to here are 1000 times higher than what's allowed in China and Russia, for example. The signal strength of all this electrosmog is increasing every day, because the regulations are a joke. This is Big Business folks, and changing the system is going to threaten a LOT of people's livliehoods.

Some of you have said a few things that made me wonder: ie "always feeling sick within an hour of getting to work" and "symptoms suddenly started in the subway" and "I felt better after being away from the computer for a few days". You all have technology in common, and a lot of you said you are around the same age too. Are you aware of where cell towers are in relation to where you live? Are they on the roof of the building you live in, work in or go to school? Did you know that property owners are paid thousands of dollars (ie $10,000/month) to allow those almost unnoticeable transmitters on their roof? You shouldn't be within 500 meters of them, and 1 km is safer. Does your neighbour in the next apartment have a wireless router within a few meters of where your bed is? If you start paying attention to where you are and what's around you when you feel the worst as well as the best, you will know quickly if this is what is contributing to your ailments. We found out too that one of the worst radiating items in our home was the XBox 360 and it's wireless controllers ... which amazingly radiated the same amount whether it was turned on or off. So to be safe, unplug electronics when you are not using them. Getting undisturbed sleep is the #1 thing you can do, cuz if your sleeping poorly your overall immune system takes a beating. So DON'T sleep with your cellphone next to your head. We have all started either texting or using speaker phone IF we have to use our cellphones. We've now met many people who are feeling lots better after testing themselves. One person stopped having seizures after removing Wifi from his house - he couldn't believe it!

I'd be really interested to know if this helps any of you! Send me a private message if you want more info or links. Feel better soon!

I am now having severe pain in the right side of my head and my left thumb and left foot keep twitching I really think i have something serious but i have to wait until thursday to see the pediatrician who probably does not have any tools to conduct any kind of tests so i will probably have to make a next appointment to see a next doctor next week i feel like they are just wasting time by waiting so long to have me see a doc :$

Hi

I also had many of the symptoms you are feeling since I was 15. I am now 32 and have recently been diagnosed with POTS syndrome it is not widely known but worth suggesting to the experts. It is easy to diagnose through a tilt table test. It is worth researching on the internet too

Good luck

To be honest I have the same stuff. I'm 17 and it started happening about 4 months ago. I've been smoking half a pack for about 2 years now, and I've only drank maybe 6 times in my life, and never got drunk. And I've never done any drugs of any kind. But the smoking is definately a contributor. I had this totally crazy panic attack and I literally got seconds away from passing out. I had these crazy headaches for about a month that were ALWAYS there, it felt like something was trying to break out of my head, and something was trying to break into my head at the same time. They eventually went away, And then I got a sinus infection. Now, I'm really tired all the time, andi have this numb/skin crawling feeling on the back of my head, and somtimes I "see" lighting flashes. NO JOKE! I'll be standing there, and then all of the sudded *FLASH!* and then everything will be fine. And I've had some wobbly feelings in my legs. But about the death part, I know what you mean. I've kinda had this feeling that the worlds gonna end, and I'm never gonna get to get to college, or get married. I feel like I could wake up in the morning stand up, go on with my day, and then at any given point.... just fall over and die. The feeling isnt real though. I've had that feeling for about 3 weeks now. And if you "feel" like your going to die... you would have already. And anxiety and stress, is probably the case even though you dont think so. A bad diet, no exercise, and stress and anxiety, can f- you up. Stress can cause your toe to hurt if it wants. So on a more positive note, listen to your doctor, maybe get a counselor, you'll be fine.

Hey guy, I know what you are all going thru and I am going to tell you a litte about how I found out what was wrong with me. The fainting part with me was very low vitmain D. I also though I was dying. For 7 years I fought all the things you guys are going thru
and finally I tolded the doctors to check for Lupus and there it was. My ANA test was neative but I had very high CRP that verify I
had Lupus. Also check for mold in your house or work area. Mold will make you feel the same way. Mold will also give you very bad
allergies. Their are vitmains out there that can help with mold. Watch your intake of sugar and soda's. Go on the natural diet and you guys will start feeling better. I hope this help you. Get on the internal and starting searching for what you may have. God Bless

Amen sister, Everthing you said is exactly the same as what i get, right down to the fear of living to a ripe old age and wasting your youth on worrying about dieing. I hate it sooo much.

I have all of the same symptoms...get lightheaded all the time, dizzy, pass out, really bad chest pains...etc. Ive been tested for the same things all of my life like diabetes, blood sugar, etc..all negative. I finally pushed my most recent doctor to do more testing because Im tired of feeling like this all the time. Turns out I have mirtal valve prolapse and its very common. Prob what a lot of you on here have too. Unfortunately there is not really a pill you can take to cure it or anything but atleast it gave me peace in mind that Im not going to die from it and maybe if its what some of you have it can give you that peace also. Its not something you can die from but it does cause anxiety which can make you feel like you are at times. Hope this helps

Im 23 years old and glad im not the only one feeling this way im going through that hazy head thing at the moment and i can hardly see what im typing, mine all started when i had my little baby nearly a year ago now, it all started about 4 days after having him. And it got worse and worse, i thought i was dying, and as i am scared of dying because i lost my ex partner to cancer 3 years ago its even worse.
I feel sick and hazy and i have slept on and off all day today. My doctor has put it all down to anxeity and depression. He even said post nantal, bollocks its deffo not that. I have gallstones and one night i had a very very bad attack and this was before it was confermed that it was them, an abulance was called and the man said her could see by my face and breathing that i had an really really bad anxeity attack. I was relluntant to take the antidepressants but i was convinced and sure enough month later i felt ok. I came off them a month ago and the feeling of utter dread, all the crying, "im dying" feelings and stress worry etc have all come back, im going to start taking them again as my doctor have put me back on them again. The feeling is UTTER HORRIBLE! And no one under stands they all think im a hypocondriac, i tried talking to my mom and she just said told me to "DEAL WITH IT" i FEEL LIKE UTTER sh*t! night and day when im feeling like this,

Im looking for like minded people like ya selfs who know how i feel, please feel free to email me or something some time

Hey guys,

This may not be useful to any of you but i am 19 nd suffer from M.E/ CFS. In some ways am quite lucky with my symptoms compared to some other sufferers but I often feel very tired regardless of the amount of sleep I've had, I also feel very naeseas particularly after eating.
However this is a relapse of my original onset 2 years ago in which neasea was never a symptom and having looked at various websites some people suffer very different but very real symptoms.

I thought it may help some people to say that a few of the symptoms people are mentioning re found in sufferers of M.E (e.g brain fog, depression, anxiety, headaches, trouble concentrating, fatigue, sore throat, and in my case i did tend to feel really bad in some places but not others)

One thing that i think is important to remember is that you may find that you tend to feel a lot better at home doing things you enjoy rather than being in hot and crowded places, which is what I found.
Having gone ghrough a treatment of cognitive behavoural therapy i realised that some of the sympyoms i was feeling was due to the anxiety of being in a situation that was not in my comfort zone and that was making me feel a lot worse.

Im not saying that everything you feel is in your head, in fact the opposite but by constantly thinking and worrying about it will make you feel a lot worse. I cant give you a way of taking your mind off of things but I have been able to get into uni and am now trying to do my best even if i cant get to every lecture.

I hope you will take a look online about CFS and its symptoms and see if it fits how you feel, but I would certainly recommend a course of cognitive behavoural therapy whether it be CFS or panic attacks as it helped me to realise the changes ways of thinking and coping techniues can affect how you feel.

Best of luck to you all, I hope you can find a way to feel better.
Regards, David
