I have looked at many things already but I am still working with my doctor on it. The thing is none of this started until after I got off my antidepressant that I was on for 11 years. It worked well but I had side effects the whole time. Over the years new side effects would come up to the point where I had to get off the medicine this year. Since then I've been dealing with this... Around 8 months now.

Somebody mentioned Lyme Disease but I think it would be very coincidental if that were the case since this all started after stopping my antidepressant.

I have seen that video and already have a call in to see a functional medicine doctor. I am hoping they can help. Although even supplements give me side effects. So I hope I can make dietary changes that will help since I have little choice in the way of medicine right now.
