Yeah. I do. It started about three years ago when I started having a lot of problems at home. I had tests done and it all came back inconclusive. I went to the doctor a few times with the same complaint, sometimes with the added side effect of severe stomach and kidney cramps. But the same tests never showed anything up. Medically, apart from my anaemia and a hernia I'm completely fine, so there's nothing going on there that we can chalk it down to. But my doctor noticed that each time I went to him with the problem I was complaining about the same things; being unable to sleep, loss of appetite, strain at home and with school...Eventually we both just dismissed it as another side effect of stress. I almost wish that it was something medical, because at least then I could do something solid about it. I can't exactly cut out everything that stresses me out otherwise I'd be living in a cardboard box in the woods lol.
