Your health is extremely important, knowing what’s going on with your body and keeping yourself healhy to ensure that you can do everyday tasks and not get sick. Yet, how are you supposed to do that when you have no clue what is going on inside your own body.

Because of not knowing, people also don’t believe you. You have no name to the cause of your pain and no proof of something serious happening to yourself so no one truly believes that something is wrong with you. Thinking that it is all a lie and just to get out of work or school.

When in reality, all you want is to go to school and be able to do things that everyone else does, but you can’t. Your body holding you captive and not being able to enjoy everyday things the same way as other kids.

Unknown health problems can affect many people, for many different reasons. One of those reasons can be rest pains for no certain reason mixed with spells of dizziness, like what I get. Being told that it’s just “not drinking enough water and growing pains”, yet I drink more than enough daily and later in my teenage years, to the point where I shouldn’t be having them anymore. 

People constantly telling me that it’s nothing and that I’m faking it when I am in actual pain is a constant annoyance. Even those who are supposed to be my friends thinking that I only say I have it because of not wanting to go to school. Saying that I faked passing out and fake dizzy spells or chest pains all the time. All because of the doctors not being too sure on what’s wrong.

So myself and others with the same situation just sit and wait, continuing with tests and different medicines to try and see if anything will help or to finally figure out what is wrong. Dealing with those who don’t believe and those who don’t care, but hanging onto the ones who show loyalty and try to help out as much as possible.
