Hello all-
So I have a series of symptoms and I am having trouble getting doctors to pay attention to what I am saying. I am just going to list the symptoms and see what kind of doctor you would suggest. When I was pregnant with my daughter I started having pain around my gallbladder. It was the most intense pain I have ever felt in my entire life. Because my daughter was to big they did not want to operate and they did not want to do scans until she was born so they put me on dilauded 4 mg. ever 4 hours. I was on that for 8 months as well as promethazine and after my daughter was born they thought that my symptoms would decrease. Instead they increased. They changed my medication to Morphine slow release 30 mg. every 12 hours and no promethazine. Here are all of my symptoms I am experiencing from head to toe:
1. extreme migraines: the worst I have ever had and I have suffered since I was 17. I can't see when they come on and I end up in the ER because they are horrible.
2. Pressure at the top of my head: When I do not have a migraine it feels like their is pressure on the top of my head sometimes and I usually have a headache every day.
3. I have a pain that comes on rarely and is in the back of my throat. When it happens my whole throat and chest seem to burn from it. Occasionaly it will seize up to where I can not breathe for a second and then t is gone and sometimes it is just this dull ache in the back of my throat and in my chest.
4. Pain around my gallbladder
5. Stomach cramps when I ea
6. My left hand seems to go numb sometimes (the doctors have blamed this on anxiety because I have severe anxiety but I know when I am experiencing anxiety symptoms and this is nothing like that.).
7. shotting pains occasionally in my toes and finger tips
8. shotting pain along my right collar bone (occassionally but to the point where it would drop me to my knees).
9. At night I shake. I lay down and I feel like I am vibrating. I can not sleep at all. I just vibrate and it drives me nuts.
10. Anxiety.
11. My liver enzymes are elevated.
I think that pretty much sums it up. I saw a neurologist and he did not seem to want to listen to me. He told me I am imagining things and blamed anxiety. My grandma suffered from MS so it is a huge concern of mine and he won't take me seriously. What should I do? Who should I see? I have a primary care, a g.i (who has done two endoscolpys and a colonoscopy), an obgyn, a pain center who is working with me and my medications while all of this is going on, the neurologist who won't listen to me, and a psychiatrist who is working with me on my anxiety. I have 2 young kids and want to get better.
