POSTED ONCE, BUT NOW MORE SYMPTOMS, HELP!

by kenneltech, Oct 24, 2009 11:24PM
I posted a few months ago, and I'm still confused, and now have even more symptoms.  About 2 years ago, everything started going wrong and has been going wrong ever since.  It started with being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and I was menopausal.  Then I gained about 70 lbs. in 6 months!  (I'VE DONE THIS TWICE BEFORE IN MY LIFE, AND THEY NEVER KNEW WHAT CAUSED IT).  Then, I was diagnosed with rapid heart rate, and they don't know why, then I started getting skin tags and pimples all over my body.  Then, I was diagnosed with edema and "stiff" heart, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes, had to have gallbladder out, esophogeal stricture, esophogus closed and they had to go in and stretch it out, then I got paranthesis of my stomach and am on medication, I have SEVERE restless leg syndrome, so severe that I am taking three times the dosage of requip I used to take, I have it 24 hrs. a day.  Blurred vision, EXTREME EXHAUSTION, depression, brain fog, I ITCH EVERYWHERE and it's driving me crazy.

It's like my entire body systems are ill, and I don't know what is wrong with me, and neither does anyone else.  I have been to about 5 endocrinologists, and all they EVER do is a cortisol test, thyroid tests, and diabetes tests.  I have been to 3 cardiologists, and one says I have a "stiff" heart, and another says I don't, I've had multiple heart tests, including echocardiogram, stress tests, MRI's, a bunch of them. At one point, they said I had hemochromatosis, but now they've changed their minds.  I have also been to my family doctor, and I don't know what else to do anymore, I am tired and sick and I ache.

Can anyone put all this together and come up with some ideas of where to look?  Because I don't know anymore.  Thank you.

Has anyone checked you for autoimmune disorders?

To: kennel tech..
Have you considered seeing a Natural Path doctor.. my mom has a ton of problems and went everywhere to get diagnosed but no one could help her.. she started seeing this lady who does a test on every inch of your body and my mother found out alot of stuff is wrong with her.. she has her on many pills (all natural) and are helping her with her odd things.. most are going away now... maybe its allergies to things .. have youe been tested for allergies?
restless leg syndrome can be caused by the weight gain...i had that problem i doubled up on vitamin d and calcium and that took care of it.. along with leg exercises. Not sure if this helps.. praying you will get to the bottom of this!

I drink more water than that per day, trust me.  Also, I do not eat salt at all, and I check to see how much sodium is in anything I buy, I HATE salt.
