Have you been tested for Hepatitis C? Many of your symptoms could be attributed to Hep C. Type II diabetes also can be a result of chronic Hep C as can RA. Please get tested if you haven't been aready to rule out Hep C. It is a simpe bood test and is often misdiagnosed or missed competely. Your degenerating spine problems can aso be caused by Hep C. Pease get tested to rule it out. Good luck.
has any one ever mentioned lyme or ms, i have alot of similair symptoms and feel like i have ms. your symptoms seem alot longer than mine, i hope you feel better soon.i am still going dr to dr looking for help.
Have you ever received any type of diagnosis for the high ANA, and major symptoms? Lupus is one possibility (you can have it with no rash ever), as is scleroderma (sine sclerosis type if you have no major skin problems). There are 80 different autoimmune diseases, any of which can attack multiple body systems. You say that in 1991 it was your 1st m/c, and that with your pg in 2004 you got heparin shots. Did you have more m/c between? How many? Did anyone ever tell you that you have APS (antiphospholipid antibody syndrome)?

2005 - March, referred to high-risk OBGYN at IU Med Ctr who changed insulin, did a lot of blood work, gave meds for thrombosis; Later in month passed out, told it was due to blood sugar dropping and dehydration, given blood transfusion because hemoglobin again dropped to below 7.0; hospitalized a second time (passed out), hemoglobin dropped again below 7.0.

2005 - May 6, labor induced, epidural given which never worked.
2005 - May 7, Emergency C-section due to low heart rates.

2006 - March, rheumatologist says Ana is elevated higher than it was before and show white cells in urine; ER Visit hospitalized for severe pain in chest (I figured it was another ulcer, no check on gastro); hemoglobin was 11.5 when admitted, after given fluids dropped to 8.0); told that I have too many problems and that I probably have arthritis in my chest, given celebrex, nexium, skolaxin, hydrocodone, and nausea med.
Currently having muscle spasms in left arm, left leg/foot (SEVERE); chest pain (probably arthritis in chest); twitching in left side of body; right hip pain; I can not sleep... keep waking up every fifteen minutes with difficulty breathing, very hot; have had problems with confusion for about a month (keep losing things); have tightness in throat like I pulled a muscle near my shoulders; numbness on top of left foot, up calf, behind left knee. Most of this is only on left side of body... there is a little spasm in my right foot, nothing like in my left foot. Any help greatly appreciated.
