Wow, again, thank you alllll so VERY MUCH for your suggestions. This is another one I recieved from a dear friend (name is omitted):
Hey girl,
I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. I had something similar but I don't know if it's the same thing. I first got my period at 11 yrs. At this age is when I began to experience vision black outs, dizziness, bruising easily, Periods with huge blood clots. For a while doctors could not explain what it was, until I ended in the hospital almost dead. Any way I had a condition called ITP- Immuno Thrombocytopenia Purpura. It is an auto immune disease. My spleen which works to fight germs and stuff in the body had instead turned against my blood cells. I had to have my blood count checked weekly for a while to make sure my platelet count wasn't too low. I was also on prednisone for a while. At age 13 I had my spleen removed and haven't had a problem with that since. I get the dizziness and vision blackouts very rarely. Well, I will pass this blog along for you. And I will keep you in my prayers.

I want you all to know that I am definitely looking up these suggestions, and am doing research on all.
Now for some good news:
Last Tuesday, I went to a specialist that was referred to me by a coworker. I went to her an ABSOLUTELY LOVED HER. First off, she actually sat down and 'interviewed me'. She was with me for a full hour and a half. Once she (somewhat) understood my condition, even teasing me and tellin me that I am a 'walking textbook', she told me that she is going to start from scratch, and find the problem. I felt very comfy with her, and am going back this Friday.
I thank you ALL for your support, and will keep you posted...literally.
