Sick....

Jun 29, 2008 12:38PM - 12 comments

Well I feel like I'm getting sicker by the day, right now I'm exhausted, the lymph nodes in my groin/neck are painful and throbbing, Im having really bad right upper quadrant pain, and sore throat, as well as headaches, body aches, and peripheral neuropathy..... Why can't anyone find anything wrong with me? This is soooo frustrating!!

Been a while... still searching

So its been a while since I've posted and I'm starting to feel slightly better in some regards, i think i've gotten over my fear of HIV for the most part since ive been tested for HIV1/2 several times - all negative, and all my heps (A,B,C) have been repeatedly negative....

Regardless though i know there is something all wrong with my liver right now... i have no tolerance whatsoever to alcohol, one drink can make me sick, i get recurrent intense headaches, i have a sharp right upper quadrant pain, and i have a few vericose veins which i've had since the symptoms started but only recently realized that those could be a sign of liver malfunction.  I've also had joint pains and itching along with some pretty intense fatigue and a sort of "brain fog" and some muscle aches.  My labs continue to stay within the nl ranges but are creepy up slowly each time they are drawn.....

With all that being said, if anyone bothers to read this, do you know of anything (infectious or whatever) that could be causing my liver problems.  As i said earlier Heps A, B, and C have been ruled out and I also took an ANA test (i guess for autoimmune hep) that was negative, although i understand that everyone with autoimmune hep does not have ANA.... any advice would be appreciated, I'm desperate for answers.

I've though about Chronic Fatigue too, but I dont think that would cause my serious liver problems.... please help!

Im getting so sick of being sick, i get up everyday just hoping either everything will disappear, or someone will be able to diagnose me and correct the problem, on top of alll of that my mom is now being completely unsupported and even stated shes beginning to think its in my head..... i just want this to end and to go back to normal, or atleast to have a diagnosis and know what it is, i can hardly take this anymore!!!

Well I am at a loss, there is something undeniably wrong with my body and I cannot fix it because I don't know what it is!  It is driving me absolutey insane.... And im STILL not convinced its not HepB: the only test they ran was Hep B core Antibody, total  and Hep B core Antibody, IgM, what if i had neg antibodies but still had the virus?  Im not convinved.... i think i need one last test for the Surface antigen and for the Surface antibody to see if im immune, i just can't take this anymore, ive never felt so isolated/alone/depressed (you take your pick) in my life, and i just wish there was someone out there to help me through this, i feel like im dying and no one cares/can help.... im calling "request a test" tomorrow for one last test for HepB (the ones they didnt feel the need to run, why i dont know) hopefully its all neg again... maybe i have autoimmune hep? all i know is i am sick of this, and i just want it to end!  Hopefully results back in a few days and test tomorrow, hopefully life isn't as cruel as im thinking it is right now, i dont know how people with chronic diseases avoid depression, just the thought of it is killing me, i admire each and everyone of you, you guys have the strength and the courage that i'll never have.... god bless you!
