Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Hi! I'm new and am not 100% sure I even belong here. I just want someone to talk to who won't think I'm mental. Currently, I am not diagnosed with anything, but I have a doctors appointment next Friday. I'm not even sure how I will handle the appointment because I think my doctor will think I'm whining about stuff that normal people have to endure every day. Not to bore you with details or anything, but please, tell me if these " symptoms " are what normal people live with..... Age range: 34 Male/female: Female What are the symptoms? -sometimes (every 2 or so years) my hair will start to fall out-not in patches, but more of a all over thinning -migraines (enough to make me light sensitive and nauseated) -very fine pink rash under my lips and on my chin -redness across the bridge of my nose and on my cheeks-it's not really a rash, more of a blush -while I'm sleeping, I get these intense pains in my neck and shoulder (like when you turn your head too fast) -sores in my nose -canker sores in my mouth and some " different " ones on the roof of my mouth towards the back -sleep disturbances ranging from not falling asleep after 6 hours of laying in bed to not being able to stay awake after 10 hours of sleep and then needing a nap 3 hours later -mental fog -something like dyslexia...can't remember how to spell -body feels like I've always got the flu-tired and achy -joint pains -shooting pains in my elbows, upper arms, and thighs -leg cramps at night-the pain from which lasts 3-4 days -several toes and fingertips are numb -sometimes I get patches of skin on my legs that are very tender-like the skin is raw, but there are no marks at all -when I lay down at night, my whole body throbs like I've been on the go all day Has you illness been diagnosed? No, but I have an appointment next Friday How long did you suffer before you got help? It's been a little over a year since the majority of the symptoms started Is there a time that you can remember when it started? Yes, I believe most of my " problems " started last June when I was in a car accident Some of us have found lack of exercise we are overweight. Have you found this to be a problem also? A bit Are you on disability? No, but I haven't the motivation or energy to look for a job, either Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
