I've been having so many different symptoms since childhood, symptoms that doctors couldn't always explain, so nowadays I try to ignore most of them. Because I'm tired of doctors who don't go beyond regular tests to figure things out and start feeding useless meds. A few months ago I decided hat I want to take care of my health despite of all the negative experiences.
I believe (and that's just my perception), that even though I started developing some minor symptoms in my late teens / early 20s (I'm 35 now), they really started developing more serious symptoms around age of 28, and developed some brand new unusual ones about 8 months ago.
It all started with severe abdominal pain in one spot right in the middle of my stomach, sometimes it followed by nausea and vomiting and one or maybe a couple of times - fever. Doctor said it was gastritis without doing any tests. I changed diet, became more careful with food, what I eat. After a few years my symptoms disappeared but the painful spot in the middle of my stomach remained. Around the age of 32 my migraines (so called complicated migraines) became more severe suddenly, took care of them with topamax. Around he same time I got stomach flu, my family recovered within a week. It took me about 6-8 months to recover fully more or less. I didn't have severe symptoms, but my stomach was upset a lot, probiotics only made things worse. During that time I developed pain on the left right under rib, sometimes it would start in front and then radiates t the back, sometimes just the back. I would have really weird periods when I suddenly become very nauseas after eating something sweet, and then I suddenly stop feeling that way. Periodically I start experiencing pain and nausea right when I start eating. Last year new symptoms appear, I started retaining water (haven't experienced it for since my thyroid was treated at 21), and became extremely thirsty which is very unusual for me. I'll continue in the next message
