Hello. I am a 24 year old female. Ive become trapped after a year of doctors visits and an untreated illness. I have now diagnosed myself with multiple disorders that my doctors have confirmed to be true. Ive visited a pshyciatrist on a monthly basing and he has been unable to provide a solution to my issues. Here is a list of my symptoms along with examples of situations. I appreciate any help/input I can receieve.
- Shaky hands constantly. Has been happening since I was younger.
- Extremely restless legs. They do not shake. I must have them bent at all times, other than standing. I sit on them while in chairs or have them up against my chest, as well as while driving. I have a horrible habit of chewing my cheeks, excessively until they bleed, and cause weeklong welts.
- Dizziness. Get extremely light headed when standing up. Vision gets black, feel a rush throughout my whole body, head gets a heavy feeling, I smell a strong chemical and need to sit down immediatly. Some times this results in blacking out for seconds to minutes.
- No energy. Lazy, no motivation to get up and ready for the day (ex. doing hair/makeup). Vehicle and house is a mess. Cannot work out, exhausted during and after when I try. Out of breath shortly (athsma).
- Focus. Cannot focus on more than one thing. Ex. being on cellphone, reading, writing.
- Dazing out. Someone will be talking to me one on one. As hard as I try to stay focused and listen to what they are saying, I cannot remember a thing they said. I have to stop and remind myself to actually listen to them. Almost been in car accidents due to dazing off in space and not focusing on the road (Ex. staring at something in distance).
- Chronic fatigue - Absolutely exhausted. Regardless of amount of sleep I recieve I have such extreme tiredness that I fall asleep uncontrollably. (Ex. falling asleep while driving and shaking head to keep awake, falling asleep suddenly while working. Not knowing ive fallen asleep until I wake up to my head jolting sideways). Falling asleep in meetings. Sleeping in vehicle during my work lunch breaks.
- Borderline personality disorder
- Depression
- Anxiety
So far I have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (Abilify 5mg & Seroquel 75 mg0), depression and anxiety (Cipralex 15 mg). Last week I went to the doctor advising them I think I have inattentive type ADHD due to symptoms I have. After doing a checksheet they agreed it definitely could be ADHD and possibly a minor case of narcelepsy. Which I am now prescribed Concerta 18mg. I have been on it for 6 days and I have not noticed one difference. I am still exhausted, tired and falling asleep at my desk. My main issue right now is the fatigue. It has become so severe that it is affecting my life, safety and ability to work. I was on long term disability from May 2015 to May 2016. My managers are starting to take notice of my fatigue and falling asleep at desk. I cannot function whatsoever and I need new eyes and advice as to what it could be.
Doctors have ruled out low iron. thyroidism and anemia.
