I'm sorry to hear that you've had it for decades! Well, I can't say for sure when it might have started - it could have been a lifelong thing for me, but it got real bad over a decade ago. I suspect that childhood course of antibiotics could have been the start of it, but I can't confirm it.
I'd say that in the past few years I've learned to cope with it much better. I do think that the mind and depression are involved with it too and our emotions play a major role, but it's not like the normal doctors claim, that "it's all in your head". That's bs, it's related both to the body, mind and perhaps soul too. I'd be willing to wager that it has quite a lot to do with the gut bacteria and endocrine system. Apparently my pituitary gland isn't working as it should so it has affected the body in some ways, also I have thought that my thyroid and adrenal glands aren't working as they should.
What is interesting about the endocrine system is that all of the glands are directly linked to the chakras. I still lack the proper understanding of the spiritual connections between chakras and illnesses like this, but I've been trying to understand it. Many of the illnesses we have are related to the flow of ki or prana in our bodies, or how they flow incorrectly causing all kinds of symptoms.
Understanding the illnesses of the human body and psyche has been a major interest for me for quite a while now. Perhaps one day science can crack the mystery behind this issue too.
