Doctors can't find a link for my symptoms

I'm 16 and i have always been very ill. I was born premature and had extremely bad asthma as a young child, i was diagnosed as being allergic to wheat, yeast, dairy, by several naturopaths when i was young. (wheat and yeast cause massive bloating and swelling as well as constipation, dairy causes alot of excess flem build up.) I have always had chronic constipation even as a child. It reached it's peak around 6 months ago when iwas in extreme abdominal pain and was rushed to the hospital. It turned out i was so clogged up that i was full almost to my stomach. Let's just say it took me weeks of hospital grade laxatives to come somewhat good. They put that down to an extremely lazy bowel due to being born premature. I have always been overweight and no matter how hard i try to i can't lose it. I was diagnosed with Bi-Polar, depression, anxiety disorder and Obsessive compulsive disorder when i was 11 years old.I have always had extreme heat intolerance, i can be sitting in air-conditioning and still be sweating like i just ran a marathon. I have so much trouble with my medications for it they will work great but then all of a sudden stop working and we have to find another one. My periods have always been extremely heavy, to the point that i would wear a super plus tampon and a thick pad only to have it last not even 1 1/2 hours. (i also have problems with dark body and facial hair) I went to the doctor who put me on the pill to control them, it worked for around 6 months but since then i have tried 2 other pills. I am extremely anemic which causes me to be very tired and lethargic, which the doctors gathered would be from my periods but i have been on Depro-preva for nearly 8 months now to test that theory and i have not had a period yet my iron levels stay the same. It has been great not having to run to the toilet every hour but i can't have anymore injections of Depro-preva (sorry if is misspell it) and she wants to put me on implanon. What has finally made me reach out is that around a month ago i had to rushed to the doctors and my blood sugar level was extremely low and lately i have been having so many crashes i never used to have problems with it so now i have another problem. But most worryingly today i woke up and went to have a shower and noticed my breasts are lactating and there is NO way im pregnant im still a virgin. I am getting so sick of constantly developing new illnesses and i really think there has to be something that is causing them all/most of them. I think they have to be realated somehow. PLEASE HELP (Oh and should add that my cousin was just diagnosed with a pituitary tumour so im a little concerned about that since i also have some of the symptoms.)

Hello,

I agree with arachnaphob, sooner the better.

I also want to say, that anti depressants and most medication, needs changing quite abit. As the body can basically get used to the drugs, and it just becomes useless. Changing pills is normal.

Also You look like you're going through allot of stress. I say you should take it easy before your depression and anxieties get worse. - especially the bipolar.

Thanks

You need to see an endocrinologist. It sounds like your hormones are all over the place.  

I see you live in Brisbane.  If you don't want to see a specialist privately, why don't you either go to a major public hospital and get referred to one of the doctors in outpatients or if you go to the GP get them to refer you to the public hospital endocrinologist (or whoever the doctor decides you need to see).

INSIST on a referral to a specialist.  This is your body and your future so you need to be adamant that you want investigation and treatment.

None of what you are describing is normal.

Good luck.
