    Hi there, I'm a 36y old mum from Scotland. I have had multiple health issues over the years and now at an stage that I cannot bear to go to any more doctors. I'm a nurse by profession which is good and bad :)

    I suffer currently from Kidney stones, swollen finger and toe joints with horrible pain. I also have high uric acid (only blood test which is elevated). Over the years I had a deep vein thrombosis, lung embolism, optic Neuritis, saliva gland removal, gallbladder removal. Always run low fevers with CRPs of 20-30. It was suspected MS, Lupus and now apparently Gout or Osteoarthritis.

    Now it is time to review if there's no other cause than this being physical. I have had multiple emotional events e.g losing my father to cancer. That I truly believe there's unhealed trauma.

    Thanks for having me.

    I hope you find some answers here! Repressed stress and trauma definitely impacts on us all, but some more than others. As you are a Mum and a nurse - I expect you have tms type characteristics - people-pleasing, perfectionism, looking after every one around you - except you....! If so - then i expect you will be able to rid yourself of many symptoms, by understanding how your mind and body interact = sometimes not in your best interests!! Good luck!
