Declining Health

The title says it all. Something is wrong with me, but I'm not sure what's the root of it.
The problems seem to be stomach/digestive system related, but it's been so many years and I still don't know if these problems are an effect of an underlying problem or if it is the source of it....

I have had to deal with health issues for as long as I can remember. But lately it seems to be getting worse. Last year I thought it was bad enough with all the bloating, but now in 2011 I think my stomach is killing me, little by little.

I have had trouble just sitting in class due to nausea. It doesn't happen all the time, and when it comes, it comes without warning. I used to have better prediction of it, but nowadays it seems like the sick feeling comes more frequently beyond my control. And then there's the hyper-acidity, where my stomach is constantly releasing acid at all the wrong times.... so when you don't find food quickly, the prolong effect is again... nausea and just an uneasiness that prevents me from living a normal life.

What scares me the most is that my weight has dropped a little again... a downward trend for the past few years... as if I weren't thin enough. It's becoz I can't eat much. I feel sick if I don't eat, but I also feel sick after I eat. So what am I supposed to do? In general I feel weaker you know, like these days I tend to get motion sickness so I worry whenever we go for long distance traveling. I never had this problem before. Last year, I just felt tired all the time, the dark eye circles on my face says it all.... no matter how much I sleep I will still feel drained.

I don't know what to do anymore, aside from praying. I have seen doctors, specialists, and even Chinese medicine practitioners. Nothing seems to offer a solution. No one really knows what's my problem.

I seriously hope I make it through 2011.
