Hi, I am a 21 year old female. For the past 2 years I have been dealing with an unsolveable medical problem. My symptoms are vary weird and seem to have no explaination. I have had serious, chronic abdominal pain, problems eating, nausea, some vomitting, bouts of constipation and diarrhea, severe migraines that have lasted for weeks on end (literally constant head pain that never goes away or lets up), on and off joint pains, sleeplessness, and chronic fatigue.
I have literally gotten to the point where I am in so much pain, I cannot get out of bed. This problem has landed me in the hospital a number of times.
I have had tons of work up, bloods tests, CTs, MRI's, barium xrays, colonoscopy and endoscopy. I have seen an internalist, gastroenterologist, immunologist, hematologist, and rheumotologist. They found my thyroid to be under-active and that I had some sludge in my gallbladder. I had my gallbladder removed in April 2009, which didnt seem to help, then a sphincterotomy for my bile duct in July of 2009. I still suffer from pain, inability to eat, and many other symptoms that bother me on a day to day basis.
Currently I am taking a number of medicines to try to ease the pain and other symptoms, but there is still no diagnosis. I am really getting to a point where I am at a loss for what to do. I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or ideas about this.
Overall, before this started I was a very healthy person. I am still healthy to the point that I eat well, exercise each week, and try to maintain other good habits.
If you are reading this, I thank you for your time, I know this is a very long extensive question. Hope someone can help!
