Are the doctors right? Is this really anxiety?

Posted , 14 users are following.

I have some undiagnosed medical condition, and I think it's related to my kidneys. I've been to various PCPs, 2 nephrologists, 1 urologist, cardiologist and a rheumatologist. They all say it's anxiety. All my test come back realitively normal, except low vitamin d and slightly high blood sugar. My urinalysis always shows micro RBC, sometimes mucus, and 1 time WBC. I am a 29 y.o. male, 5'11".

Here are my symptoms:

Weight loss: I've only lost 5 or 10 lbs, but have lost three inches on my waste.

Zero appetite

Nausea

Hair growth has slowed

Pitting nails

Dry, scaly looking skin

Mental/visual changes

Teeth grinding in day

Flank pain

Waking every night to urinate, sometimes twice

Cloudy/darker yellow urine

Tremors of the hands

Can't quit moving toes/feet during day

Severe fatigue/lethargy. I barely get around anymore.

Muscle atrophy. My calfs are like jelllo, literally. Tiny and jello. My forearms are nonexistent. My biceps and thighs are jello too.

Dizziness when walking

Foamy urine

Sometimes foul urine

Foul stools

Bad leg cramps

Muscle twitching is common and happens anywhere

Arms jolt/shake/quiver uncontrollably after intense use, such as weed eating due to weakness.

Insomnia

Headache

And so forth. Can anxiety really do this or are these doctors just terrible? I can see some things, but muscle wasting and almost bedridden level fatigue? And the urinary symptoms?
