I have a serious problem that is destroying my life, but nobody seems to have an explanation, or they don?t believe me. A few years ago, I began to notice consistently that any time I would have a prescription drug or an herb especially, I would have a major reaction to it. It's as if I took fifty times the normal dose. This is especially true with herbs. If I only have a few milligrams of let's say ginseng, within 15 seconds the substance has been completely activated in my system and I am bouncing off walls basically and I can't sleep for 3 days straight. I have, over the years, been prescribed 20 different medications and each one seems to give me hell. I can't seem to emphasize each doctor visit to different doctors that I just can't take a drug, that my body can't handle it.

As a side note: every day of my life, I wake up with a ("bi-temporal chronic") headache. It is located on the two "soft-spots" on the sides of my head (not in the center). It is never extreme pain, but it is very uncomfortable and it never goes away. When I was younger I used to drink tons of cokes per day, and I wonder if the long term effects to what would be a continuous extreme overdose of caffeine for me maybe have caused it? Or could it be a preservative in foods that I am having side effects from?


Basically, my life sucks. Like, when I accidentally drank a drink with herbal contents, I was ready to kill myself because of the horrible side effects. I can?t live my life fearing that I will accidentally drink a juice or tea with herbs in it, and I can?t keep fearing that I will go into the emergency room and doctors will give me a typical dose of a drug which would be fatal to me and normal for anyone else.


Please reply back even if you don't think you can be of too much help.
