Okay, I've about reached the end of my rope with this.

I thought maybe someone else on here might have some good suggestions for what kind of sickness I actually have and what could fix it.

Here are my symptoms in the order that they are troublesome:

1. Fatigue: I can sleep 15 hours in a day and still feel tired. I sleep for 8+ hours in a night and feel like I haven't slept at all when I get up. I don't snore at all.

2. Dizziness/Inability to see correctly: I feel really dizzy and lightheaded a lot of the time. Also, I see negative images of EVERYTHING I look at when I look away from it. This is especially troublesome when driving.

3. Stomach pain: It hurts when I don't eat. It hurts A LOT after I eat. Antacids help sometimes.

4. Sense of depersonalization: I feel like I'm not myself a lot of the time. It's hard to describe.

5. Peeing: I go 10-20 times a day, drink 6 cups of water and about 2 cups of coffee a day.

Please help. I'm tired of feeling too exhausted to play with my brothers, do homework, or see my friends. Thank you.

In all seriousness you should see a dr.

11/27/2008 10:52:16 PM

weigh more than 80 lbs.

11/27/2008 10:53:26 PM

are you depressed?

11/27/2008 10:53:28 PM

the mental shit you describe all happened to me after i did lsd for the last time.

you probably have cluster headaches. thats what my shit was similarly misdiagnosed as. negative images, shape distortion, color confusion, depersonalization to the point where i was pretty much in 0 control of my actions. good times.

you could be anemic.

with the urination, you should get checked out for diabetes also. you should not be urinating that much at all.



[Edited on November 27, 2008 at 11:02 PM. Reason : seriously, go see a doctor.]

11/27/2008 10:53:53 PM

I have no idea what lewoods posted in her thread. I'm just trying to get some help here.

They told me to gain weight when I went to the dr. last, and I have been, but my symptoms have just gotten worse.

Anemia is a GREAT guess, that's what the dr.s thought it was. I have no blood/urine test that shows any anemia or diabetes though.

see, I know my shit.


keep gaining weight. Food never betrays you, it never lets you down

11/27/2008 10:55:36 PM

i don't think Dr TWW has an MD

I've seen multiple dr.s for this many times.

They tell me they can't find anything wrong with me and to gain weight.

I will probably go back for more punishment and tests I can't afford that will just tell me NOTHING again.

did they check your thyroid?

11/27/2008 10:57:07 PM

sounds like you're depressed....

11/27/2008 10:57:45 PM

yeah, make sure they look at the thyroid, mines been fucked up for years and no one ever noticed until I had an MRI done for some neck pain and they happen to notice the thyroid

11/27/2008 10:59:51 PM

They tested my blood for hormones that would reveal if the thyroid was damaged.

Told me my thyroid was fine.

11/27/2008 11:00:57 PM

See a doctor ... but try iron, magnesium and potassium supplements. I was dizzy all the time since until I tried this. Start off taking several days worth, because you are probably very deficient if you eat crap food, drink or smoke.

11/27/2008 11:02:43 PM

it was funny, my orthopedic guy noticed it and ask me if I already knew about it, I was like "no, what are the symptoms?"

"hard to go to sleep?" check
"when you do sleep, its hard to wake up?" check
"hot all the time?"check
"poop a lot?" check
"weird appetite swings?" check

11/27/2008 11:03:26 PM

Your WebMD symptoms match:

UTI
Middle ear infection
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes
Labyrinthitis
Anemia (normal, chronic disorder, iron deficiency)
Heart rhythm disorder
Medication reaction or side-effect
Supraventricular tachycardia
Panic attack
Viral Syndrome
Small intestine cancer
Diverticulitis
Aortic regurgitation
Appendicitis
Atrial fibrilation
Bladder stones
Bipolar disorder

I would say take an iron supplement and go see a doctor if things continually get worse, go see a doctor.

11/27/2008 11:03:28 PM

I'm gonna go Monday or Tuesday

Will report back with results.

11/27/2008 11:13:54 PM

these are the symptoms i have. except with muscle aches all the time and heart murmur and just general soreness in my body. and w/o the peeing i don't think i pee that much. only like 5 times a day.

i keep getting a "stress" diagnosis. but i've only had an h. pylori blood test done and an ultrasound on my stomach to look for gallstones. there were none but the ultrasound was the most painful experience ever (and the point is that it shouldn't have been bad at all). and either my white blood cells or my red blood cells were slightly elevated. i forget which. but they were all like "blah blah not elevated enough to be cause for concern"

well. if it is stress it should get better because i'm going to the therapist on tuesday wahoooo. i'm also supposed to go see a gastroenternologist but that is a lot of effort. le sigh.

pancreas?

11/28/2008 12:35:07 AM

it could be your gall bladder. do you have a funny pain under your ribs on your right side? also you could also have some sharp pain around your heart.

i had a lot of symptoms similar to yours. doctors thought it was my gall bladder but it ended up being an ulcer. they gave me some meds that i took for about a month and i've been fine since.

11/28/2008 12:42:20 AM

actually it sounds a lot more like you're a diabetic. the only system you're missing is weight loss, but you're a tiny thing so i don't see that being something we'd notice easily at all.

but those symptoms fit diabetes exactly, especially the peeing and dizziness. seeing it on the web md further secures my beliefs.

i mean my first thought was lack of sex, but, um, i think all of tww can verify thats not true.

11/28/2008 12:55:39 AM

get checked for std's... you probably have syphillis


also... stop living in sin.

11/28/2008 12:58:23 AM

LUPUS

11/28/2008 12:59:32 AM

Its probably mostly mental. The less stuff you do the less you feel like your able to do then its a cycle of feeling shitty physically and in your head.

11/28/2008 1:22:37 AM

yeah, the ultrasound test for gallstones before because i was having acute pain on that side. it was seriously the most painful thing ever. they basically try to shove an ultrasound wand underneath your ribcage.

[Edited on November 28, 2008 at 1:23 AM. Reason : i suggest vitamin b12 supplements. the sublingual cherry flavored ones are good! ]

did you have gall stones?

11/28/2008 11:23:10 AM

anemia

11/28/2008 12:00:55 PM

check for poly cystic ovarian syndrome...it fucks with your hormones and in turn fucks with your insulin. i take metformin because of it, which is a drug for diabetes. it's a long shot, but if all else fails...

11/28/2008 12:04:17 PM

sounds like someone has a case of the mondays

11/28/2008 12:09:23 PM

yeast infection

11/28/2008 12:13:17 PM

It's Lupus.

11/28/2008 12:49:48 PM

Sounds like Tourette's to me

11/28/2008 1:27:20 PM

stomach ulcers? that sounds like the appetite thing to me...i had them once and it was majorly shitty

11/28/2008 1:41:30 PM

You put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up,
You put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up,
You put the lime in the coconut, drink them both up,
Put the lime in the coconut, you such a silly woman!,
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both together,
Put the lime in the coconut, then you feel better.
Put the lime in the coconut, drink them both down
Put the lime in the coconut, and call me in the morning

fun fact about my family - my little sister has a cyst in her ovary and my aunt has cancer in hers.

11/28/2008 10:48:38 PM

sounds like diabetes

holy shit it's nuoq

^agreed

11/29/2008 12:35:57 AM

go get a prescription for cephalexin (antibiotic) in case you have a UTI. start taking weight gainer (GNC). excersize so that you sleep deeper due to real energy loss. eat several times a day to speed up your body's ability to metabolize food. no more coffee- the caffeine may actually be responsible for your energy crashes.

oh, and go see someone who specializes in diagnostic medicine. call BCBS for suggestions.

11/29/2008 1:36:09 AM

Diabetes is a good guess, but my last blood/urine test showed no indication of diabetes or prediabetes.

I have had a debilitating headache for the past three days. Feels like my brain is on fire. Don't know if this is a new symptom or just a worsening of the old ones.

11/29/2008 10:50:16 AM

set em up
