TO VAGUE TO DIAGNOSE?

I'm a 30 yr. old female not overweight used to be pretty active until July 29th 2013!  I wont go thru everything and all symptoms since, we would be here a week!  I'm going to list the doctors/specialist and their diagnosis/test results.  I need help all I hear is my symptoms are to vague to diagnose while in the meantime im suffering!

PCP- Low (continually reducing) red blood cell count, dehydration, positive trichomoniasis (on and off positive even though im not and haven't been sexually active with a male since 2001)

Neurologist - EEG/VNG shows Peripheral Vestibular Disease, Left sided numbness/weakness, vertigo, Brain and spinal cord MRI was normal just a few disk bulges

Orthopedic -  bilateral carpel tunnel, bilateral tarsal tunnel

Dermatologist - rash on face, arms and back that comes and goes when stressed or hot

Cardiologist - Positive stress test but the heart cath was clean, perfect Echo, perfect EKG

ENT - 0.5 cm cyst on adenoid, swollen nose tissue, sleep apnea

Gastroenterologist - Gastritis, negative colonoscopy, negative endoscopy, severe constipation

Optometrist - Keratoconus vision 20/400 (left) 20/40 (right)

My physical symptoms are constant pain from head to toe. My left side is always tingly and feel heavy including my face. I lost over 50 lbs. in 2 months now I've gained 18 in 1 month!  My breast have pulled down and no its not due to age its actually visible as to where my chest is swollen and is very sore I don't know why but I do know when I first became "ill" me chest bothered me a lot like muscle spasms (I still have when stressed or over excited).  I'm lightheaded constantly my heart pounds a lot and "skips beats" or flutters.  I'm so confused as well as the "DOCTORS"  each one has ended with me seeing a rheumatologist but now my insurance has lapse I cant get any help!!! Someone please offer any feedback you may have!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

  Hi....I can understand ur frustration and will suggest what has helped me, help myself to getting a DX when I too found it difficult.

Get copies of ALL testing u have had done so far, MRI's get the results on disk and the reports, all other testing get reports as it is easier to get another Dr to review them and give u an idea b4 u even go...so get the copies read thru them as u may not always be told about everything on the reports...and something may have been missed.

Either way it is faster to get another opinion when u have all the info in ur hands...make extra copies so if something is lost in the mail u have back up.

Good luck
