Hello,
For the past 3 years I have had the largest range of symptoms and no help. It started with severe diarrhea - blood in stools, weight loss, vitamin deficiency, exhaustion. I started seeing GI's right away..2 years, 2 colonoscopies, 2 barium tests, M2A capsule, abdominal CT scan, and tested for EVERY virus/infection/parasite available, I came back with nothing. During this time, i have spoken with the doctors about my other symptoms - neurological... I get the weirdest night blindness - like a red film is over my eye, it really feels like there is something there, and all i can see is red blur, only one eye at a time but effects both of them. Sirens in my ears, numbness in my arms, hands, legs, feet - not pins and needles, but a dull numb pain. Constant pain in my hands/fingers/elbows/shoulders/back/feet - on and on and on.. uncontrolled muscle spasms in all of these same spots. This is not joint pain. Chinese medicine dr's refer to it as 'wandering pain' (oh yes, i have seen several of them - physiotherapists/acupuncturist etc)
ex. one day 1.5 years ago my left leg swelled up and was unmovable - i went to emergency, where i was immediatly taken in and had two doctors very scared of a blood clot - swelling/discoloration, but all tests showed NO inflammation - was given an inflammatory shot to the hip, and monitored - no change. took 3 days and the use of a cane, and it just went away.
I have been hospitalized and IV treated for aprox 8 hours, 3 times now with severe migraines - no auras/sensitivity
just severe pain and nausea - and this has now started at least 4 times a week in the last year.
oh... and I vomit everyday, along with 4-8 bought of severe diarrhea.
I do not eat dairy/gluten - fast foods/unhealthy foods. I do not drink enough water, cause it causes things to get worse.
eating is my biggest fear/hate - but i do it, a lot - i have to, or my weight will drop instantly(lowest was 83pounds)I am loosing my mind... and because i have SO many symptoms - i hear - 'they cant all be related'
I miss at least one day of work a week
i feel like my mind is so ambitious for life, and its being held prisoner by my body - I am 28 years old, trying to plan my wedding, in total fear of making it through my wedding, and complete fear of being a mom - as my exhaustion rules my life, and getting out of bed is almost impossible some days
does anyone have any ideas of what might be wrong with me??
thank you
