I just don't know where to begin.  Twenty pills a day at 20 years old?  You
must have some set of problems or somebody is over prescribing!  How is your
weight?  I suspect there is an emotional side to this also.  The reason I
say this, is that I had some similar problems at about 30 yrs.  There may be
some physical issues, but your anger, anxiety, depression amplify all these
issues.  I have a problem with atrial fib.  When it started I would worry,
and it would get worse.  It was a vicious circle that I couldn't seems to
break.  One thing that helped me was clonazepam.  It's highly addictive, but
did calm me down a lot.  The other thing I had to do, was to accept death as
a possibility.  I also got a healthier outlook at other issues in my life.
I remember one time being in emerge with an erratic heart beat, and having
the nurse yelling at me asking why I was there!  You don't say how higher
your bg is, but it's highly unlikely that the complications would hit you so
hard so quickly.  As far as complications go, there is nothing that can be
done to reverse the damage done.  However, if you control your bg, you can
prevent future problems.  I have to tell you that all those meds you are
taking are responsible for some of your problems. Look to reduce these meds
where possible.
