Want answers to health problems

[morcas]

Currently have 11 doctors and have no real answers to health problems since 2009.  Since 2009 I've had constant head aches, migraines, body aches, tingling and numbnes on hand and fingers and legs, rash on legs that looks like rash that people get when they have Lupus (rash worse after blood trasfusions and iron infusions), at times face tingles, leg cramps, dizziness, slurred speech, fatigue(NO ENERGY), stomach always upset, diarrhea, always have nausea. Health History: 3 blood transfusion and over 10 iron infusions with horrible side affects,low hematicrit hemoglobin iron and white blood cells,  Mitral Valve Prolapse, Nodule on Thyroid, over 6 frybroid tumors, cysts on ovaries, endometreosis: inside uterus, outside uterus, on and inside 1 ovary, bladder, and colon. Due to endometreosis ovary is attached to uterus and uterus is attached to bladder and bladder is attached to colon. Dr said it was a big cluster and all bowels are attached to eachother, tested positive for Valley Fever, MRSA in 2011 in result of 2 surgeries, nerve damage on left side of body. Life style has changed dramaticlly went from running 3-4 mile 3-4 times a week to not being able to walk 5 blocks, was a soccer and girl scout mom, was a dance instructor and now Im not able to. All Drs say is that symptoms are due to something else and not what they are treating me for, its like Im going in circles. I cant afford to keep doing this, Just want my health and life back. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry you are having these problems. In addition to the last post, I would add: Have you been beeding due to your fibroids? Do you know why you are anemic?  Also, you could have had allergic reactions to the transfusions. In general a viral infection will cause a lowering of your white cells. As said above there are other things that cause low WBC count. If you are anemic, it may be due to all the cysts and so forth in your genital tract/intestinal area that is making you bleed.. Sounds like you had iron because of iron deficiency. That explains your fatigue, dizzyness etc. Valley fever will clear on its own in a month from the time of onset. It gives you a dry cough , night sweats and fever.  BY the way I lived in Phoenix for about 6 years. I have an idea where Avondale is. Good to keep on top of your anemia with the B12 , folate, Iron and ferritin levels Complete blood count. Make sure you stay hydrated. With the nerve damage is it on the same side as your damage that was done to the nerves? I know they do have drugs to treat for nerve damage. You have to get the drugs right for you.
hope this helps at least for some of the problems.
take care,

I imagine you are aware how the minerals in our bodies can govern how we feel.  The specific mineral levels are low and become out of range and cause many symptoms similar to yours. Getting diarrhea under control is very important in eliminating abnormal mineral and other abnormal labs.
You surely are having a chronic  time    with many issues.
Low enegry is a diificult culprit to deal with while haviing so many other symptoms and a family.  Feel free to comment back and please let us know if MRSA is well addressed by your physicians.

Check vitamin B12 levels to start with. Low white blood cell count along with many of your symptoms are noted with this deficiency.  Deficiency is commonly misdiagnosed. A good article to check out: "B12 deficiency: a silent epidemic with serious consequences" by Chris Kresser.

From Dr Kaslow's website...

Hemoglobin [and hematocrit] is decreased in:

Digestive inflammation (with hidden or obvious blood loss) as might occur with parasites, colitis, hemorrhoids, etc.
Free radical pathology.
Adrenal cortical hypofunction
Hereditary anemia(s)
Hemodilution (pregnancy, edema)
Blood loss (lung, gastrointestinal/hemorrhoids/ulcers/colitis, uterine/menses, in urine via kidneys, hemorrhage)
Deficiency (protein malnutrition, iron, copper, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1 (thiamine), folic acid, B12)
Chronic disease (liver, kidney, rheumatoid arthritis, Carcinoid, etc.)
Bone marrow insufficiency (infiltration with tumor or tuberculosis, toxic or drug induced hypoplasia)

Causes of Decreased White Blood Cells:

Hepatitis
Hyperparathyroidism
Adrenal dysfunction
Rheumatoid arthritis
Influenza (early stages)
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
