I don't feel like surfing any more... Health help...

Reading between the lines, and I could be wrong,  it seems a visit to a regular doctor has not been involved in this.

Being a DIY kind of guy and very well educated, I can tell you that that the well of information that these natural 'professionals' draw from for applicable herbs and OTC remedies can be  contained in 1 reference manual, although I had 3 overlapping ones for comprehensive reference to all the remedies and herbs. I went through a health crisis a couple of decades ago and more or less brought myself up to the level of knowledge of a cheap natural health professional hack by reading many materials over a couple of years and was not impressed by the number of books and level of knowledge it took to get there.
I've had friends visit these kind of 'professionals' and have been shocked at some of the old medicine(old, abandoned and superceded OTC remedies) that were advised to my friends and at charge. As if paying for what doctors were dispensing as advice and remedies at the early 1900's or even up to the early 50's and then abandoned could be carved out as a career.


My experience is that anyone with the required intellegence and curiosity and drive can become their own naturopath.
However, I presume with your naturopath you are getting up to date and modern stuff. I dont see a problem with your choice of an alternative health professional , nor do I understand your situation.
Anyhow, I guess I'm saying if its that serious, you really need to stick with a regular modern medicine doctor until you can be properly diagnosed.

The alternative health route should only be option after modern medicine turns out to be a dead end or if *perhaps* you are one of those hypersensitives whereby every modern drug you've tried the side effect were just overwhelming(although I dont think this case applies)....then the natural or less effective , non-modern or not FDA controlled remedies are to be preferred.

It could be that maybe you have been to a regular doctor, but maybe have abandoned the route.

I am a prayerful man, you have been added.

You gotta power through it man. I have a shit load of problems and I have days when I don't even get out of bed, but somehow I get through. I've had to deal with Coronary artery disease including a heart attack since 1998, at 39. Then I found that I had 2 badly damaged disks in my neck, which required bone fusion of C5-7. Then I went through treatment for depression, only to find out that I have a very bad sleep apnea. The sleep apnea is probably the root cause of most of my health issues. I had surgery for the apnea, but I still have it bad.

I did some serious soul searching about a decade ago, when I started thinking I was clinically depressed, and found my way back to God. I've trusted God's judgement since then. Amazing things happen when you believe in God's power.

When I was at my darkest time, I always found some strength thinking about riding waves. I've gotten through a lot since the late 70's just being near the ocean and watching it, thinking about the time I'll be able to be back out there riding waves.

You may have to work back into shape slowly, but don't let yourself get depressed. The mind is an amazing thing, and positive thinking can do wonders. Same for negative thinking, it can do you in. Stay positive, ask for help from the heavens above, and never give up the thought about surfing again.   

Sorry to hear of your condition. You should probably have a regular medical doctor run the hormone tests on you also. This is the type of condition in which doctors legally prescribe steroids for hormone therapy. The doctor would probably prescribe you low dosage which should minimize the chances of negative side effects but enough to put the pep back in your step and get you out of this funk you're feeling. Hope this doesn't offend anyone. Steroids aren't just for muscleheads. They do have their place in medicine when used responsibly.

Tachyochardia is a bitch!

Are they trying to tell you you have to many nerves in your heart?

Stress is the big culprit!

Weight is another one and last you may not be able to handle caffeine.

You need clean food and water a nice white sand beach, a couple of good boards, warm water, in a tropical local with a great uncrowded no drama reef break and some pretty girls to look at!

Take six months of the above and nothing else I would wager a million dollars you would come back from it healthy as a horse.

That goes for the rest of us stressed out over worked under paid blood bags being squeezed for to much by society.
