Is it my adrenals?

My voice over the years has become very low and deep. The more I speak the more I lose my voice. But when I have to speak for long periods of time I feel that I am going to pass out.  I am told I speak very breathy like I am running a marathon. My lungs have been ruled out as the cause. My throat hurts all of the time but is not red. It hurts to touch the front of my neck too. My vision is blurry and at night I cannot get my eyes to focus at all. I have fallen 3 times over the past year one of which resulted in 13 staples in my head. My hands and neck are completely numb,  I do have carpal tunnel in both hands. My eyes look very droopy, My mind is slow, my words are slow, my reactions are slow, I even type slow. Being a very fast person, this is quite frustrating because I go through day to day not being able to be the person that I know I used to be. I feel like I am a prisioner of this body that I can't control anymore.  I have been for numerous MRI's, blood work etc. They thought it was Myastenia gravis but the specialist said it is not. It is not depression or mental , I do not cry, I am not sad, I am quite happy overall, but confused as to where to go at this point. To be honest even controlling my facial muscles does not feel right, my muscles feel like stone. I have asthma, allergies, reflux and hiatal hernia. Any ideas as I have stopped going to doctors because I have given up.

What labs have you had done. Can you post them here?

My opinion - is due to your trama - maybe the fall - you are having definately hormone imbalances going on and just looking at that can start the process to getting you better.

Post your labs.

  There are so many things that can happen to a body after a fall, especially if you hit your head (even if nothing showed on the MRI's).
If you are financially able to, you might consider pampering yourself by getting weekly massages, trying acupuncture, working with a professional nutritionist on your allergies and reflux (there is so much a nutritionist can help with, special tests, neurotransmitter support products, etc.)
Some insurance companies will pay for a portion of naturopathic doctor appointments. If there's an ND in your area, you might give them a call and see what they suggest.

Hope you feel better soon.

(By the way, my nutritionist has been the best "doctor" I've had so far).
