I am 38 years old and I have been suffering from joint pain and fatigue as well as depression and anxiety. I also have a pain in my chest and feel very unwell. I cant sleep very well and I feel very tired in the mornings. I have started to get muscle twitches and numb feet & hands on occasions. I have been to see my doctor on several occasions and have been diagnosed osteoartheritus in my fingers which can be quite painfull at times. I also have tinnitus and life is getting quite hard. I have elevated liver enzymes ast 71, which my doctor can not explain. I have asked my doctor for an MRI scan but he said he can not justify it at this stage. I also get blurred vision sometimes. I have tried various different things to make me feel better but nothing seems to work. This is affecting my whole life now and I really want to feel better. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
Well the first thing to do is get a full auto-immune blood profile done, along with a full blood count, and also testing diabetes, and the thyroid.
If you have had some blood work done , and you have the results, if you post them , then i will take a look , and advice were to go from next.
This could be one off many auto-immune illnesses, so a full bloodwork needs to be done to start ruling out which it can be , from which it obviously is not.
Also get ESR, done to check for inflammation.
I hope this has helped, and if you need anymore help im here.
I know how frustrating it can be when you are suffering, and not accurately diagnosed, so the best thing to do is get tested , so your GP, can refer you on to the right consultant to treat your condition.
Good Luck
