New member with Questions about symptoms...

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to read my post. I

have been very sick for quite some time. I am the sickest person I

know, with the best test outcome I have seen. Most of my tests come

back NORMAL. I will give a quick history of my symptoms, which may

or may not be related to what has been going on now.

I am 26. When I was 11, I had a hep b immunization and it made me

sick. I was in hosp and was homeschooled and ill since. In my lkate

teens and early twenties I was a bit better. I did have a bad

stomach. DIarrhea, nausea, bloatedness, gas, upset stomach, lack of

appetite, feeling sick every time I ate etc. Beano helps a bit.

About 2 years ago I started to get aseverly restless feeling ( not

restless legs, this was different, like adrenaline running through

my body, mybody almost felt liek I was buzzing from my chest

throughout the rest of body) It was highly uncomfortable. Of course

the fantastic doctors here diagnosed me with, you guessed it, stress

and anxiety and depression. (Grrrrrrrr. I demanded for tests, and

the only test (they didnt tets much) that came back abnormal was a

high cortisol test (normal 170-500, mine three tests AM, came back

1200, 1257, 1087) I had a slightly high Thyroid (tsh normal 0.8-5.0

mine was 4.97, and my T3 was normal 3.5-5.8, mine was 6.3) However I

have had 6 thyroid tests since and they have all been normal. I have

had one positive ANA test, one negative ANA test. I go up and down.

EIther I feel liek I am crawling out of my skin, I feel intoxicated

with some sort of an adrenaline type feeling, pee often, shake, feel

nauseated. Or I go weeks feeling the complete opposite- Tired, achy,

joint pain, extreme malaise, like poison is in my body, Headache,

Vertigo comes and goes (liek an inner ear infection, without the ear

infection) No appetite etc. SOmetimes random symptoms that can

happen at any time are not being able to eat even though empty and

hungry because i feel like my whole body is tense including my

stomach muscles and if I try to eat I gag and can barely swallow,

headache, diarrhea, constipation alternate. So those symptoms seem

to switch from one to the other. SO then September 27th of this

year, All of a sudden ( I have a history of sometimes getting

palpitations an drapid heartbeat) My heart started to just beat

differently, I was getting tons of palpitations ( sometimes 3 a

minute) skipped heartbeats, rapid heart beat, pain in my left arm

and chest, dizziness with palpitations ( sometimes when I breath otu

I get adizzy spell with palpitatin, breath in skipped beat with

dzziness) This happens worst at night. I wake up for th epast month

eveyr night with rapid heart beat in the early AM, or middle of

night. So I went to the E.R, where they said its stress go home. My

ECG had some changes with t waves s stuff that I dont understand.

They said 'its fine' My only test that came back abnormal in the E.R

was very high ketones in my urine ( I dont have diabetes). I had

never heard of ketones before...overthe next few days My heart

symptoms completely dissapeared (this was oct 5th) but I was so

nauseas and shaking so badly and I stopped peeing I peed only a very

small amount and it was dark orange. Went back to E.R High ketones,

but they sent me home. I drank 8 bottles of watter a day and still

felt so overly dehydrated I thought I was going to die. I bought a

home ketone kit. No glucose in urine, normal glucose blood test, btu

high ketones in urine. ( oh ya, when I went to E.R first time my

potassium was at 3.6 normal is 3.5-5.5) Eventually I started to

feel less shaky and nauseas, the ketones dissapeared ( this was

about october 7th) and I peed normally again, but witht he

dissapearance of the ketones, nausea, pee problems, back came my

caridac issues. It is like one replaced the other. OR what ever was

triggering this ( some hormone) was going up and then down. I am

truly sorry fi this post is confusing, I feel there is so much

information and symptoms and history and I have such little energy

and tolerance anymore to keep fighting that I have to try and write

it as quick as possible. I am seeing an internist, I am in canada

and to get referals is impossible where I am. The medical system is

failing me. I go to doctors all the time and they run the same basic

tests CBC, Thyroid, GLucose. Does anyone think these symptoms,

fluctuations sound familiar? Oh ya, I have a history of having to

pee very much at night, but then every once in awhile it will be the

opposite and I cant pee at all. Any ideas to bounce off me would be

great, thanks!
