Would you keep paying tens of thousands of dollars on medical bills?

As opposed to what? Killing myself?

Yes, I'd continue to spend money to see doctors rather than kill myself.

Or if you're saying you'd stop spending the money and just live with your symptoms then I'd say fuck that too. Keep seeing different doctors. The world is full of people who had serious problems for years and doctors couldn't figure it out, until finally they found one that could.

Also, +1 on the doing your own research. I've found the internet just as useful as doctors, if not moreso. Just don't be an idiot, you have to be able to tell the difference between a reliable source and an unreliable one.

And if doing research online is difficult due to your vertigo then let us do it. Come here and describe every symptom in great detail. Post pics of the discoloration on your asshole if you have to. We're your bros. We'll do some research and cure the fuck out of you. Doctor Mayberry is now accepting new patients.

I think you may have the wrong guy. I have talked about my past hookups on here, and I may bend time a bit just to avoid doxing myself in any way, but don't recall that one.
 
I'm in a scenario similar to that. I have a stomach issue that doctors don't know how to treat. For awhile I was seeing doctors all the time. There came a point were I had enough. They didn't have answer. Service was all to often lousy, and sometimes dealing with rude health care workers was awful. Costs can be high, though insurance was paying the bills. I was another person that fell through the medical cracks. I've read a lot of people fall through the cracks of health care, something like 75%.

For awhile family members kept pushing me to pursue more testings, see more doctors. They had greater belief in the medical system than i did at that point. So I'd agree, would do more torturous tests if asked, but required that the family member come to the appointment with me and talk with the doctor so they could see for themselves. As I'd tell them, I didn't mind, maybe they will have better luck, asking the right questions, getting the right treatment, though I doubted that would happen. In the end they heard for themselves that no treatments were available for me.

That would be terrible to have a dizzy condition like that. A few times i've experienced dizziness that wouldn't go away for a few days. I couldn't imagine living with that for life. that was something I brought up with a doctor, dizzy issues. As I expected he didn't have much to offer me with that problem and what he had didn't work. I have learned through trial and error that some foods can make me dizzy when eaten. For example, a Chinese rice dish with soy sauce, spices and vegetables will make me dizzy for 3 days after being eaten.

You become sick and after 3 years of seeing doctor after doctor, specialist after specialist, spending tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket, would you keep it going by seeing other doctors and specialists?

Let's say you're dizzy all the time, your balance is fucked up, and have anxiety and panic attacks. You can't watch a movie in one sitting, can't play a videogame, can't read, can't look at your phone for too long, etc. because all those make you even more dizzy and give you vertigo if you keep going.

tbh its all maid up in your mind. there is nothing wrong with you other than aids, which you seem to not be testing for.

test for aids. go find out you are positive and then deal with your issues.

I can't watch sad movies, I can't think about my childhood or listen to sad songs because my anxiety ramps up. I can't stop thinking because if I do, I get a panic attack. I can't just sit on the porch and relax, my mind has to constantly be thinking of something or else I get a panic attack.

Oh shit I think I got you confused with @Brampton_Boy

Alphaboy, Omegaboy, Brampton_boy... This place has more boys than a priests basement
 
Sounds like you have two separate issues. Issues around anxiety and issues with vertigo. I'm guessing they play into each other, but probably should be addressed as two separate issues. Have you seen a therapist about your anxiety? Do you have a solid meditation practice?

Yeah, it's dizziness, my gait is all messed up, like my head is moving around, anxiety and panic attacks. Watching movies, reading, playing videogames, texting or looking at the phone, scrolling specifically, makes me dizzy. Can't focus, my memory is jacked.

Google search sucks. It's hard to do any research because the results are completely different from what I'm searching for

I will tell you if you pay me $100

It's a little known nerve
 
I'm also sensitive to sound like when listening to music and there's a "ting" sound from a cymbal or something and it's hard to put into words but all I can say is it's uncomfortable.

I also have a hiatal hernia that's getting worse. I wonder if it's got anything to do with it. I feel it pushing up into my neck. I'm weary about doing anything about it because the side effects are pretty substantial for a hiatal hernia surgery.

I was given metoprolol by my doctor to help with anxiety/panic attacks and it's helping a lot. I'm wondering if this means that the heart is causing it.
 
I mean if we're honest most doctors are googling stuff as much as we are.

If there is no hope then what's there to lose? Let's start getting weird on experimental chemicals and huge doses of mushrooms (why not do it all while seeing colors?)
