Ok so its been almost 11 weeks that I've been having problems
It started when I was sitting in class and it felt liek my brain shutoff for like 2 or 3 seconds and I didn't realize what was happening until I started coming to, it took me a few seconds to realize where I was or what was going on too.
After that I felt very sick for about 1 day and was fine except that I felt very very lightheaded and just out of it and thats remained so since this happened. I've noticed that I"ve become very easily fatigued and generally am always tired and unable to do any physical activity as it drains me out. I'd say about about two weeks into it was when I realized i was having problems physically. Ever since this episode in class its been the same stuff.
My doctor has run a lipid panel, metabolic panel, platelet count, hepatic test, and has done a thyroid test also, all haev come back as being perfect. He also checked my urine and said it looked good too.
Righ tnow I'm wasting money so if anyone can please give me an idea or point me in the right direction then I'd really appreciate it thank you.
Here are the symptoms!
1. Lightheaded or foggy headed, it gets to the point of almost passing out if I don't eat every 5 to 6 hours.
2. Constant fatigue and absoutely no tolerance to physical activity.
3. I've had a couple episodes to where I would be sitting there and it was almost as if I had passed out or lost consciousness for just a few seconds but thats only happened maybe 2 or 3 times in the past 2 months
5. This is unusual for me but I gained almost 20Lbs in about 2 months, I never gain wait so its out of the ordinary.
6. If I don't sleep for long periods of time then my body feels worse than it originally did, and I often wake up in my sleep and feel very cunfused and out of it in the head.
7. Sometimes I feel better than other days but generally I feel terrible.
8. I'm not having severe memory problems but it does effect my ability to remember things because it makes me nervous and hard to concentrate. although I can still be alert and to math and things to that effect while this is going on, it just feels like I'm not getting enough oxygen to my brain and like I'm about to pass out, almost like I'm drunk but more organized thoughts.
9. I had an MRI and the results stated I had injured my right lateral ventricle but they said the damage was miniscule.
10 Sometimes and very rarely I get ringing in my ears that is VERY loud to where I cannot hear anything and it slowly tones down over a course of about 15 seconds
11. I've noticed that my immune system is being hindered as whern I get a cold it takes others a few days but me twice as long.
12. At first I had a constant headache and i would have migrane that felt like sinus headaches that were extremely bad, they feel like they are on the inside of my head and go all the way down to my upper neck and make it hurt, and its generally on one side. If I take any pain meds it goes away within the hour though.
13. Sometimes I get sensations of falling in a direction like forward or backward and my balance has been a bit off liek my body doesn't know how to properly keep me from falling over or something. Its not severe but it gets annoying.
14. Sometimes I get joint pain in my legs and feet, its not regular but its not normal for me and I was at one point for a week having shooting pain in the muscles of my leg that lasted maybe 4 seconds and would go away. It has since stopped.
That pretty much covers it so if anyone has any suggestions or anything to offer I'd really appreciate it.

I have 2 suggestions. The first is have a 4 or 8 hour glucose test done. This will require you to not eat for several hours then go to doctor's office or lab and drink a solution that is high in glucose. From that point your blod sugar level will be checked every 30 minutes to an hour to see how high it gets and how fast it drops and also to see if it levels off or continues to drop. If it stays high you may be diabetic. If it continue to drop below normal levels you may be hypoglycemic. If that is not your problem some of the other symtoms you are having sound very close to the ones I am having (wide spread pain, fatigue) just as a precaution have your Vitamin B , and Vitamin D levels checked. I have low Vitamin D and was amazed at the symptoms that can be caused by this. Hope this helps.

lymes disease or possible oncontroled undiagnosed diabetes.
