please look at Lab work and help

hello,

I am a 29 year old female, mother of one (three year old) I don't smoke, don't drink, don't do drugs.  Overall I am fairly healthy.  But I feel unhealthy all the time, please help.

Here's the facts:
Positive Tilt Table Test
Potassium = low 3.3 - doc. recommended suppliments
SGPT (ALT) = low 8
Esinophil% = high 3
hematocrit = 36
MCHC = low 33.8
Vitamin D = low - levels not, but enough that my doc recommended suppliments
Everything else appears normal, I even had: thyroid tests - TSH, T4, T3; ANA Titer; Cortisol (AM); ESR (Sed rate); B-12 level check; Protien; Albumin; A/G Ratio; Globulin; and CBC work-up

Here's the symptoms:
fatugue
numbness hands and feet (possible carpal tunnel)
restless leg syndrome
shortness of breath with little physical assertion
weak hand grip
cognitive fog
memory loss (short and long term)
weakness
hoarseness (voice changes, hard to explain)
slightly enlarged tongue
thinning hair
skin changes (no wrinkles but I am aging very quickly)
Skin tags
loss of elasticity in skin
headaches
mood swings
climbing steps or sitting for a period of time can bring symptoms about
joint pain (knees, elbows, hands - i have even had fluid removed from my knee that appeared "clean")
occasional chest and rib pain
pale
dark circles under eyes
Non-restorative sleep

What could be wrong with me? I have found a few possibilities but I don't know what tests I need, or if I'm even on the right track.  
Possibilities:  Amyloidosis
                    Leukemia
                    Renal Insufficiensy
                    Parathyroid disease
                    Villous Aedenoma
                    Renal Tubular Acidosis
                    Fanconi Syndrome
                    Cystinosis
                    Sarcoidosis
                    Myelofibrosis
                    Multiple Myeloma
                    Gout
                    Hashimoto's Disease (and other thyroid disorders)
                    Aldosteronism
                    Cushing's Syndrome
                    Adrenal Tumors
                    Hepatic Dysfunction

My doc. just wants to treat my lab work with suppliments, rather than finding a cause for these abnormalities, what should I do?  I feel like I am being robbed of my life, my quality of life *****, I can't do anyhting I am always sick.  Where do I turn?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Thanks for writing to the forum!
A positive tilt table test indicates a neutrally mediated syncope or NMS. This is due to a break in a very complex nervous parasympathetic and sympathetic system. There are various drugs in the market to regulate this. Your doctor can prescribe anyone for you.
From you symptoms it sounds like chronic fatigue syndrome. The symptoms include widespread myalgia and arthralgia, cognitive difficulties, chronic mental and physical exhaustion,headaches and concentration difficulty and memory problems. Sleep related disorders and hypothalamic disorders too behave this way. You would also need a kidney function test.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
