Hi Ona,
Feeling like giving up certainly is understandable considering your case.
No Ona, please don't even think of giving up. You've had quite a challenge, most than anybody else I have read of or talked to. Your stress is not helping the situation any, and I was wondering if they can't seem to help you and your getting worse instead of better, could you ask your dr. for a referral for a second opinion, even a third and a fourth. They ought to get their heads together and be treating you with kid gloves and taking you under their wings and possibly even try some new procedures if they find they are available for your condition. It just seems like somebody has dropped the ball here and is missing something very important, what it could be I don't know, but that's why we have doctors.
Please try not to give in to this--I wonder if there is a teaching hospital near you that they could send you--they should consider all alternatives for you, I can't see why they aren't doing more for you. Ask your dr. if there are any clinical trials that might be helpful for your case--my gosh, he knows he isn't doing anything for you at this point.
My prayers and love go to you Ona, hugs from Bea
