Not sure what could be wrong with me...pl

I'm really not sure where to go from here, but I'm hoping someone out there can help me out!  Here is my long pathetic story, please forgive me.

I'm a 27 year old male.  About the year 2003, I went out drinking one night, woke up the next morning and thought I could have done something really bad (not sure what, but my mind just ran).  This was very debilitating and made it so I missed some work.  I actually believed I could have done this stuff.  However, after worrying about it for a couple of weeks, my life went back to normal.  I went to the doctor and was placed on one anti-depressant/anti-anxiety pill after another.

I realized during this time that when I drank, I would worry and think the worst case scenario.  It was like I was halucinating for days after consuming alcohol.

Since 2002, I had two daughters, grandma died, got engaged, got divorced, bought a house, had to sell the house after divorce, my ex got engaged two months later and married less than one year later, my parent's got divorced after 27 years of marriage, my daughter was born emergency c-section and hospitalized with pneumonia.  During this time I had a job I completely hated.  I literally felt like the world was on my shoulder's.

Since 2003 I was on the following medications with little to no help (not on all at the same time, almost one right after the other);

Xanax
Paxil
Cymbalta
Buspirone
Clomipramine (had to go to E.R. on this stuff after one dose)
Clonazepan
Mirtazipine
Zoloft
Zyprexa
Seroquel
Prozac
Celexa
Toprol XL
Welbutrin
Lexapro
Risperdal

In October 2005 they did a TSH test which was 1.74, two months later .94, then 1.20 (range .35 - 4.82.  I had a full check up with the following being in the high range; iron/serum, Triglycerides/serum, absolute eosinophils and a low Urea Nitrogen/serum.  My other tests; Free T4 was .91 (range .59 - 1.17), T-4 Total 6.4 (range 4.5 - 12.0), T-3 Uptake 34.6 (range 25.0 - 35.0), Free Thyroxine Index 2.21 (range 1.12 - 4.20).  My absolute eosinophils was at 608 in 05' and in 06' was at 901 (range 0 - 500) which they say was do to hay fever although I have an allergy shot at least once per year.

In April of 2006 I was scheduled to have my gall bladder taken out, however; they put me under and stopped the surgery on two separate occasions as my carbon dioxide levels were way too high.  I was sent to a cardiologist who said everything was fine and okayed the surgery.  They went through with the surgery.

My latest tests are (although I have no idea what half of them mean);

I have been tested for everything under the sun from thyroid to CT scans. I was diagnosed with sinusitus and was prescribed Avelox 400 mg per day and Ru-Tuss twice daily with no help what so ever.

My results and ranges;

% Saturation 55 Range 20-55
Homocysteine, NUTR/Congen 45.8 Range 5.4-11.9 umoL/L
Cortisol Binding Globulin 31 mg/L Range 19-45
Methylmalonic acid, Serum 229 Range 87-318 nmol/L
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin 26 Range 7-44 nmol/L
T3, Reverse 0.19 Range 0.11-0.32 ng/mL
Renin, Plasma activity 1.9 ng/mL/hr
T-3, Free 377 Range 230-420 PG/DL
TBG 14.6 Range 12.7-25.1 mcg/mL
Iron, Serum 179 Range 45-175 MCG/DL
Ferritin, Serum 227 Range 20-345 NG/ML
Folate, Serum 3.4 NG/ML
Vitamin B12, Serum 253 Range 200-1100 PG/ML
Free T4 0.73 Range 0.71-1.85 NG/DL
TSH 1.39 Range 0.50-5.00 uIU/mL

I have now been placed on B12 injections and take 5,000 mcg of B12 sublingual daily when not taking injections, Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 5,000 IU per day, 4 caps per day of B Stress Formula to give 200 mg of B6 and 800 mcg of Folate, 4 caps of Omega-3 fatty acids, 1-4 caps of Taurine.  I also currently take 20 mg of Prilosec for Acid Reflux disease and 10 mg of Ambien to sleep.

In the past I have had gall bladder surgery, double hernia, throat dialations, numerous concussions and lymph nodes biopsyed.

I have so many symptoms it's not even funny, but I wanted to get any intake on this information without giving any symptoms to see what everyone thought.


My typical day;

I wake up exhausted, but feel better after waking.  Throughout the day I sweat like a pig and feel very heavy (even when only doing minimal things).  I feel very stiff in my movements, off balance, feel like everyone is watching me, because I feel so off.  My eyes feel like I am squinting half the time and after this they feel like they are going to pop out of my head.  I get very nervous, parnoid (not that the CIA is coming or anything like that).  I feel so slow and almost like I am staring.  My movements feel so off.  When I go into a store I feel so nervous.  My body feels like it's going one way while my mind is going the other.  I get tingly sensations in my hands and feet after a very short period of time.  I feel like I can't hear very well anymore and everytime I talk to someone they have a tough time hearing me.  My throat has that need to be cleared feeling (although there is nothing to clear).  By the end of the day I am so tired and wore out mentally.  I literally don't feel comfortable leaving my house anymore.  I have that impending doom, everything is so overwhelming feeling.  My ears pop and hurt all the time and off and on it causes me to feel like I have a sore throat.  I have basically quit doing things with family and friends.  I would love to more than anything, but I feel so strange around all them.  I could just cry half the time, as I don't know what to do from here.

Whatever this is, I feel it stems from the way my eyes feel.  They feel like if you were to keep your eyes crossed for awhile, plus the feeling of popping out of my head.

do you know if you snore heavily.  As heavy snoring/sleep apena can cause many symtoms in a person.  You should see if getting tested at a sleep lab shows anything.  It cant hurt to try.  When you have sleep apena people stop breathing while sleeping causing lack of oxygen which can cause many symtoms throught the daytime.  I know someone who was checked out and they are not on oxygen while they sleep and their world has changed 100% for the better.

Hang in there blue it will get better. Perhaps once you get the B12 def under control other thing will start getting better. B12 def causes all sorts of odd things to occur. For me: Mental confusion, forgetfulness, exhaustion, depression *and thus panic because I know my brain is not working right. I feel hot at night when sleeping and sometimes during the day different pieces and parts of me will not only feel cold but will be cold (one leg, 1/2 my face). One eye gets blurry and one ear is hard to hear out of. Legs, feet, back, trunk, hands, arms, head and face get numb depending on the b12 level and the day. At some points I even had no appitite and lost wt. I have to say it is odd. My b12 was as low as 94 and is finally up to 230. I still have issues but they are starting to go away as the b12 blood level goes up. My family and friends have been  great and help me out when my mind gets really foggy. Hang in there perhaps as you get more b12 shots some of your troubles will resolve.
