To many problems
by Jeanspeare, Dec 01, 2006 12:00AM
I seem to have constant problems that know one seems to be able to explain. I've had pain in the pelvis area since I was 12, 13 I was in the hospital for it. They came up with many Ideas but no straight forward reason. I've had strep throat, mono, laringitis which started at the age of 13 and up, dry throat, itchy throat and has now gotten to the point of a cold feeling chest and dry coughing (I am now 25)my heart I feel sometimes as if it skips a beat and a sore chest. I am now taking a puffer once in awhile to help my breathing when I feel short of breath. I get tired, and irritable at times and recently got up in the middle of the night fell to the ground not able to feel one of my legs, it had seemed to fall asleep on me. Going back a bit I was out of work with numbness in both arms, which a doctor claimed I have tendinitous but physio therapist said he believe it had to do with my neck. Very recently I had chronic diahrea start for almost two weeks it subsided with some pepto bismol (My hole life I have had stomach problems from bloating to constipation but never diarhea (diarrhea)) It was so bad that when I ate anything that I would just end up in the washroom as if it was all just running through me there was a little blood. Thankfully it stopped though my stomach now doesn't sound the same it makes very loud noises. And I am now waking up choking from a really dry cough, itchy throat and no coughing medicine helps it just worsens. I've seen 8 different doctors now trying to find what's wrong with me I think there starting to think I need to see someone.

For the bloating, I would consider getting checked for Celiac Disease (intolerance to gluten, which is a protein in wheat, rye, etc.), lactose intolerance and other possible food allergies. Also talk to your phsyician about irritable bowel syndrome.
For the numbness, I would suggest seeing a Neurologist. They can do an EMG test which will be able to tell your physician the health of your muscles and your nerves that control your muscles.
For your respiratory problems... perhaps if you find out you do have allergies and/or food allergies, they will get better ? If you do not have any of the problems mentioned above in the first paragraph, then make your physicians check you for any & all autoimmune diseases (if they haven't already). One thing that helps me breathe better at night is those breathing strips that you can purchase at any drug store.
and most recently was diagnosed with CEBV ~ chronic epstein-barr virus and CFS ~ chronic fatigue syndrome and it has been thought that I also have Fibromyalgia (still to be determined)
... this may be a long shot but you may give it a try ... I have been searching a very long time to figure out what was going on with me ~ and I feel ... "Knowledge is Power" ~ it helps to know instead of working against myself now I can work with my body to get better.
Hope you find out the root of your symptoms!
