I swear, when someone's talking to me now, I can barely understand what's happening. I know I'm no spring chicken anymore but I wish I was 16 again lol when I experience things it's like it's a memory or like I'm at the back of my head. It's hard to explain. Every thing here is getting gradually worse over the years. Suffice to say, I'm not looking forward to my 40's..

That being said I feel like I'm making a big deal out of something most women my age just get on with and put up with for the rest of their lives without complaining

None of that has anything to do with you turning 30. Get a second opinion.

I've had multiple opinions and all have come to the same conclusion. Einstein once said the definition of insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting a different result, and I've done that enough already because I have a stack of papers about a magazine's thickness in lab results.

I'll just hop in and mention that I have chronic illness that never shows up on any blood test. You cannot test for the conditions I have. It was an extremely difficult process to get any help or taken seriously. Doctors would do the standard tests and be like, well you look ok. But I was extremely not ok. Nobody would help me or care though.

I went through the same phase mentally as you. "Well if everyone is saying I'm fine then I must be fine and just lazy or a hypochondriac." Dragging myself to work. Passing out while standing. Unable to function. Actively deteriorating month to month. Until one day I crossed a threshold and had a serious life changing medical event, that I still haven't recovered from. My body forced me to listen, and the severity of my symptoms couldn't be brushed off anymore.

If nothing else, pay attention to whether your condition is getting worse, or staying the same. If you're getting worse, please consider seeing a specialist.

25 years is how long it took me to get a diagnosis.
