confusion, panic, dizziness, eyes seem weird

I really need help.  I'm 21 yrs old and when i was studying abroad i just felt gradually and gradually worse.  Feelings of confusion, panic, easily startled....and just feeling in a fog.  I was also very sick with something later on and ever since i feel 20x worse.    Now my eyes feel like they are crossed and when i talk to someone and look at them, it seems like my eyes get more and more blurry to where i have to look away.  Everything looks dull and it seems like my eyes can't focus to objects correctly.  Besides that, i'm always feeling confused and feelings of being in a fog...like everything around me is going on around me while im not there...occasionally i will get a twitch as well. I can't concentrate on anything nor think straight at all... I had a test that said i had mono but a long time ago(7months ago), but all my blood tests/sugar levels are fine according to doc's.  Now they are treating for depression and im on wellbutrin.  im pretty much at the point where i'm becoming suicidal b/c i can't take this anymore.  I used to love to run, read, and do so many things and i can't do anything anymore.  i've been like this since march and if i remain like this for much longer i cant take it anymore.....i have job interviews and all sorts of things right now.  Somebody help

I'm a 21 year old female with two toddlers and I have been working at a deli for about two years now. Not until seven months ago I've been getting these enormous headaches and have had an MRI done for it they said they found nothing. Then I was tested for mono but I didn't test positive for that. I was given a ***** in my finger for a blood sample and they found that I had pylori, which is a bacterial infection in between your rib cage. Then I took all the antibiotics to get rid of that and the headaches didn't go away. So I went back for a blood sample. A week later I get a call saying to come in to speak with a physician. When I got there I was told I had Lyme disease but I hadn't been bitten by a tick so it wad weird, but I went on the prevapak and when I finished all that medicine I'll admit I felt a lot better, but then a couple weeks went by and the headaches came back slowly but that time I told no one. Until It started to bother me so bad i went to go see an eye doctor. When i saw the eye doctor he told me my vision was perfect but referred me to an optimologist for a better look at the muscles in my eye. So ok i just went to that appointment on the fifth of July and the doctor checked me out and asked me some questions and told me i possibly have a sinus infection or problem to take Sudafed or something good for sinuses. So i go and buy Sudafed. Made me feel great. Also i was again referred to another doctor this time an ears,nose and throat doctor. I get there she tells me i definitely have serious allergies and she had prescribed be zyrtec to take only at bedtime. I started taking that the same night i got it and it was fine til i continued taking it and realized it was making me feel worse. Now i stop taking that medicine and find out i have this huge bite behind my ear that was infected and have to take two antibiotics for that. I just finished the medication and i still feel like crap. My medical was shut off so now i sit and suffer til i can get it fixed. I just want to go back to being myself. I hate it. I live my kids so much and i don't want to keep feeling like this. My head neck back and shoulders always in pain. I always feel lightheaded. Im always stressed bitching and complaining about every little thing. I give my kids their way so they won't scream and yell because it makes my problems worse. I need serious medical attention. I need it now. I don't want to continue feeling this way anymore. I haven't been eating right because at different times of the day the thought of food makes me sick and then i get more sick feeling when i don't eat. I have trouble going to the bathroom i always have to urinate. I always feel like the world is going on but im not in it. Its crazy. Someone want to talk to me to help get me through this let me know that im going to at least be ok. Im only 21 i have a longer life to live. It can't be my time just yet. Call me 4016440960

I'm a 61 year old female who started experiencing brain fog, unusual fatigue, some dizzyness (mild).  I went through a battery of ultrasounds on carotid, stress test, CT and MRI tests.  No TIA's (I have severe heart cholesterol disease) but nothing showed.  During this time I had discovered I had cataracts, had them removed and a lot of the brain fog has diminished.  

I am much improved and besides God's mercies, I think changing my eating and exercise habits and getting enough sleep has helped me greatly.  And I do mean 'changing'.  I was eating too many sugars and carbs. I know that sounds ho hum...I've heard it all before, but IF you  are a person who needs to change both of those, you should try.  It's a simple thing to do.  Get smart on healthier eating and starting moving.. Even if you start out at 5 or 10 minutes a few times a day and it's walking.  God bless.

you have all the same symptoms i have, the yawning thing caught my eye, I also have burning eyes that feel swollen, all of the symptoms come and go, some days I wake up and feel great and smile and want to just sing im so happy but then it comes back, sometimes its headaches so bad and they just come out of nowhere and usually along with it is sensitvity to light, and feeling like im not really in the room maybe more like a dream, it scares me so bad that i have panic attacks and my heart even feels like it aches, my doctor thinks im depressed and thats why im getting the head aches, I laughed and said No Im not depressed and that i get depressed cause i dont feel good!  had ct scan, lately it's been really bad, just the thought of driving to go to the store or something simple sometimes just freaks me out! do you get pressure in your ears and feel like they need popped alot? what's really scary is if you google all of your symptoms nothing good comes up, it also seems like maybe nobody belives me, have you had any dental work done? I have had like 8 teeth pulled in the last 10 years, it seems when i get one out I get better for a while? I think maybe its some kind of infection but.....
