About Me: Female, 23, Nashville - TN, member since Apr 2010
My name is chelsea Harlan. I have ADHd, Bipolar, Depression, PTSD, OCD,anxiety and panic disorder and Social anxiety disorder. I also get frequent dizzy and fainting spells, and have had problems managing my sugar and salt intake for a while.It's like my body is use to a certain level of sugar, and when it goes too long without that amount, my body crashes. I am 6 months pregnant, and this is my second child. I had 9 miscarriages before I was able to hold my first daughter. I couldn't hold them past three months, and it would never show up on a pregnancy test. I didn't get confimration until it was too late and i had a little embyro fall out into the toilet the size of anywhere from a quarter to a golf ball. Doctors constanatly looked at me like I was crazy and didn't believe that I was pregnant, they would just say that they thought it was just because I wanted to be pregnant. With my daughter, I took five pregnancy test, once a month, for each, and all four of the first ones came back negetive. I did not recieve a positive pregnancy test until the fifth one, and I was four months pregnant, then. the second one, came back more normal, i recieved the verification in only the second month. I have frequent fainting and dizzy spells that happen almost everyday in the morning. I don't know why i have them. If I just faint, I can still hear voices around me, and my hearing is just fine, but it feels like my brain shuts down, and the body looses connection,and I loose ability to be able to wake up or snap out of it, and then it feels like my body reboots, and it finally passes, and i come back, but a few times i have ended up having my eyes roll int he back of my head and my right side of my body would start shaking, uncontrollably. i had suffered from a heat stroke, and it happened again, later taht smae year in Yakima, WA. I was pregnant both times, but my baby came out fine, with no apparent symptoms of damage or anything. a lot of times i feel a sudden thirst like i can't get rid of. I also suffer from severe asthma, and find it very hard to walk up hills and up stairs, or sing while i'm walking, because i have trouble breathing.
i want to know know what all of this means, and the doctors told me that I din't have diabetes, and i've already been checked for it, and it came back negetive, I also feel more tired than usual, and most of these symptoms, i felt even when I wasn't pregnant, but it wasn't as often or severe. Even when I go to sleep at night, I find myself tossing ad turning, buecause my hips get so sore at night, and I have to switch to get in another postion, so in the morning i still feel like I haven't even gone to sleep at all. I have been currently having nightmares off and on, at least twice a week, usually lasting for about 5 to 10 seconds each. [Less] i was wondering if any this could possibly be linked to a brain tumor or Progesterone Defienciency, and what can I do to help relieve the symptoms?
