abnormal sensations and pain

[5thmelody]

I have recently become concerned about a number of symptoms that have been around for about 2 months.  I am a 25 year old female.  My symptoms include sharp jolts of pain throughout my body (mostly limbs, face, and inside eyes)  I am thinking it is nerve related because it is the same exact pain as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which I've had for over 5 years.

I've also had another strange pain in my arms and legs that is hard to describe.  Like a "numbing", dull, throbbing pain if that makes any sense.   All this in addition to mild tingling all over body and a crawling sensation mostly on my scalp and back.

I went to a clinic in my community since I don't have insurance right now.  I came out wanting to cry because the doctor made me feel very rushed and like a hypochondriac.  She said to me "well, we can test you for some serious diseases like Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis, but you don't want those do you? "  I really wanted to say to her "well, I'd love some Lupus actually" .  As if I am there because I want a disease!   Then she said  "so I think you're fine. just do some yoga and come back if it all persists"  And she got up and left!! Am i crazy, or is this rediculous?  

I went to an eye doctor yesterday and he said my eyes looked very healthy, just a little dry.  (Now I'm not sure if the deep sharp pain in my eyes is caused by dry eyes?

Also, I am extremely tired all the time.  I can't stand the heat, I feel drained and weak when it is very hot.  I become dizzy often and have experienced what I now think was vertigo on 3 separate occasions in the last 1.5 years (about 3-5 days each time i would lose my balance easily and my vision would do funny things like drag and jump around + plus everything would be turning/shifting in a way).  I just figured I was dizzy because of my anemia (iron) and didn't think much of it,  but it turns out my iron has been fine since Feb., but I still get very dizzy sometimes.

I've also been very clumsy these few months.  I find myself bumping into walls when I try to turn around  corners.  I'll lose my balance sometimes when I'm standing.  Kind of feel like a drunk.  Sometimes even when lying down, I'll feel same visual effects as being drunk.  And  my vision flickers when it is dark.  My speech has been clumsy too.  I'll get stuck trying to think of a simple word or names of people very close to me and my words will come out all jumbled, even when I try to repeat and correct myself.  Mentally I feel a bit less sharp than say about 6 months ago when still in school.  

I really didn't intend to write for this long.  I don't know if I should take my symptoms seriously if a doctor doesn't ?  Should I see a neurologist?  I'm thinking of paying for a visit to my family doc.  but I have a feeling she's going to simply tell me to stop worrying and that I'm fine.  I'm just frustrated with not being taken seriously... as if it's all in my head.  Is it?

Thanks for the comments.  My mom has diabetes and it runs in her side of the family.  I checked yesterday morning after fasting and it was normal (95).  I'll be seeing my doctor on friday, definately no more clinics for me.  It's just a pain because all the health insurances I have applied for have denied me because of a hospitalization in december (for what doctors think was antibiotic associated colitis).  That's a whole other issue that wasn't really solved.

These symptoms sound a lot like what I felt like when I found out I was a Type 2 Diabetic.  I was very tired and weak all the time.  Vision getting worse by the day. Dry eyes and mouth.  If you know someone with a diabetic blood meter, get them to test you.

No it is probably not all in your head. You do need to make an appointment with a neuro. You need to do so quickly because it can take several months sometimes,  to get an appointment. As far as that clinic goes, I wouldn't waste my time going there any more!!!!
