What Treatment Is Suggested For Irritable Bowel Syndrome?

Please Read and Advise Accordingly Good Evening, I am a 29yr old female, 5 5.5 & 150pds. I lost my insurance last year and I m getting rather concerned about my recent symptoms. Although I am young with three children, I have been through smit alot medically. I was adopted and I am unable to obtain family history unfortunately. In 2002, I had a DVT surgically removed from my calf after severe chest pain and my left leg became swelled to the point of not being able to walk. I was also told I have micro valve pro lapse. I also was put on 150mcg of synthryoid for a thyroid problem. (which I still have enlarged noids&can not gain control of my levels) Between 2002&2004, I had five laparoscopies due to severe endometreosis&ovarian cysts. I have also had a colonoscopy which concluded I had irritable bowel syndrome. In 2005, my daughter (youngest&fertility treatment induced) was born premature due to me developing a blood clot even after being on lovenox. After she was born, a DNA test was done on me&I was diagnosed with Factor 5 blood disorder. On Thanksgiving of 2008, I was in a horrible car accident and now have titanium in my hips up to my center spine. (Two back surgeries) I also have a heart filter in to prevent clots after one was found. I am now, naturally, in quite a bit of pain on a daily basis. Lately, I have stopped taking my daily aspirin because I was getting horrible migraines. I can not afford and am on none of the medications I was on previously. But now I am always nauseous, I m fighting tiredness by five pm, my stomach doubles me over in pain, my spine is always burning causing me to not sleep (I ve tried natural remedies and melatonin to help which has not), I wake up in night sweats, my arms get numb on occasion (I ll sometimes get unexplainable bruises or little red.dots on my face&legs), a week between bowels, hair loss, and my left calf (same leg as DVT that was removed) tingles&aches at night, and I wake up in the morning almost feeling like I have the flu the first thirty minutes. I am honestly getting very concerned though because over the course of a month now, these symptoms are getting increasing worse. I am honestly scared to go to the ER and know what s going on. I m often judged because of my age and health issues. I have three amazing children and a supportive husband. But my health is preventing me from keeping up with them when I am not feeling well and the physical pain is getting unbearable at times. Could you please give me some insight? Will my body over come this pain and heal itself or could I possibly be dealing with something serious again? And if so, possibly what? Thank you kindly&happy holidays!
