Worried about wierd symptoms

am literally feeling very down about my situation - I shall keep it brief.  I am really worried about my health, though tests have all been fine.

Started in Dec: Due to give birth, I start getting spots in front of my eyes.

After the birth felt fine.

Late Feb: Three infections: Wisdom Tooth, Vaginal infection and a mild chest infection (one after the other through Feb)

Experienced pain, tingling, shakes, flushing, numbness, pain and itching from waist down, skin itching generalised, sore tongue, tongue coating, itchy throat, tickly cough.  

Had bloods taken - results were normal.

March - blood spots on skin, itching, developing anxiety over symptoms, painful joints and tendons.  Bloods taken - normal!

April - mouth sores after eating, painful tongue, twitching in tongue, spots in front of eyes, tachycardia, cold hands, nails change colour (lilac/blue with red bands at the tops) blueness on knees, pallor, loss of weight, fast weight loss, fatigue, painful sinuses, ear pain.  - Bloods and Chest X Ray - normal.  3 week long heavy period.  

May - Skin thinning, more loss of weight, painful muscles, tachycardia, pvcs, ectopic beats, arrythmia, toenails coming off, cold painful hands and feet, aching legs, buzzing sensation below waist, numbness in back, spots in front of eyes, blood spots, shortness of breath.  More blood tests, 3 ECG's - All normal (apart from tachy)

Told by more than one GP and at the hospital that it is Anxiety and have been made to fill in Mental Health Assessment forms. Being referred to see a psychiatric doctor.  

Having more pain, weakness, weight not improving when I eat better, getting lump in throat sensation after eating, getting palps while eating and after walking up the stairs, pain in left arm, pain in chest, vibration sensation in abdomen, legs and chest, blood pressure fluctuates, feel tired, feel out of breath from walking up the stairs, having to take deep breaths a lot, now feeling depressed.

GP refusese to test me further believing it is all "in my head" that is causing the physical symptoms.   Been given antidepressants.

I have been in touch with the local PRimary Care Trust and more to try and get some tests, feel worse day by day, this has been going on too long.  I am scared, I have rang counsellors, health advisors, GP's are not helping.  Asked for MRI, asked for Holter monitor for heart rate, asked for another chest x ray, asked for Echo.  Been referred to mental health team in June, plus a gyneo to check out that.  

Can this be CFS (Chronic Fatigue?)  Or it be MS?

Hi, I posted a response to you over on the Neurology Support Forum.  Please read it.  I can't write a long answer today.  I think you may have a condition known as dermatomyositis.  Quix

What tests have you done so far?

It amazes me how easily doctors will tell you have a psycosomatic (spelling??) condition when they don't know what is going on... I don't know why they do that, but believe me, I have been through this and know how you fell.

Well, If I were you I would see a neurologist. And a good one (do your homework, so you won't end up spending a lot of money like I did.

I am seeing a neuro in an university, and she says she doesn't know what I have, but I trust her. Doctor are not God, and they can't know everything. and sometimes they are dealing with new diseases, etc. I am "happy" with I don't know. Better than "it's on your head".

I know that many symptoms can be caused by emotional disorders, but if you look deep inside you can tell if it's a physical problem or not (I was in the best time of my life when all this started... couldn't be from my head).

Good luck!
