                        Sounds just like me!!  I was in  the ER once a week for dehydration and once I almost had to have dialysis because my kidneys were not functioning.  The drs told me it was all in my head and I needed behavioral therapy to figure out what I was doing wrong because the meds stopped working.  I went to see a natropathic physician as last resort and it saved my life.  My cousin had a similar experience. The natropath helped her too.  I am now two years out from seeing my unconventional dr and have virtually no problems.  Please look past the conventional wisdom regarding alternative medicine - It saved my life... maybe it can help your mom.
