Waiting.....

by Cissa, Jun 21, 2009 09:43AM
Hello and first of all I just want to say that I am seeing a Dr for all of these symptoms but the appointments are so far away...It is hard to wait so this is just supplimental information for my peace of mind.

Reasons I went to the Dr to begin with

* Drastic and sudden change in vision
* Diarrhea
* Joint Pain
* Extreme fatigue
* Headaches (often)
* Pain in right side
* Weight gain and constant feeling of bloating in belly area
* Edema
* Hair loss

I went to the Dr with these complaints and she noticed some additional things that made her believe there may be some liver issues...she suggested Fatty Liver Disease or Autoimmune Disease...

* Blotchy red palms
* Spider veins on chest, neck, face and arms

Urine test showed blood in urine, elevated fasting blood sugar

I am scheduled for a sonogram but that is a few weeks away and the follow-up with my Dr is two weeks after that. I am so nervous because when I research these symptoms, it really does sound bad. I am trying hard not to self-diagnose myself because I know the dangers of that....but I am still very worried.

I guess what I am hoping to hear as a result of this post is that all of these symptoms can be nothing. That it is possible to have all of these and not have a problem.
