Crazy 37 Fml- Perfect Blood, Heart & Valves, EF 50-55, GFR 80

Posted , 5 users are following.

Started in 2014 after my 2nd C-Section... full time working mom of 2 boys 1 1/2 years apart.. I will start off by saying I have general anxiety but have never had a panic attack. My HR not on stimulants is typically 57 bpm with good, low BP. Chronic fatigue (I think reasonably, haha) and I have been on Vyvanse 30mg for 2 years so thats not "new" but here is whats new:

30 lb drop in 7 months - no appetite, nausous

bad taste in my mouth and i feel like i brush my teeth and plaque is back in an hour

shortness of breath and i had a stabbing pain bottom left chest 4 times (one woke me up)

my feet are always are so cold at the end of the day and swollen ankles

my right shin is painful to the touch

charlie horses in my right leg nightly

wake up in morning with mid back pain on both sides (like an ache)

my EF was 68% 2016

now its 50-55

my GFR was 83 in 2016

now it is 80

1 test showed elevated d-dimers in 2016

I have move 3 states in 4 years so all different docs and tests and records.

At 1 point i had narrow artery in my left leg but my heart arteries are now proven perfect.

I have had 4 abdominal surgeries (2 c-sections, hysterectomy and laporotomy)

Im tired, I Feel off, doctors think its anxiety but thats been my life and ive never felt this..

multivitamin worked some with my fatigue..

just at a loss, feel stupid and crazy and i think my doc is fed up.

any ideas of next step suggestions would be appreciated, even if its "check yourself into a mental institute" lol

    30 lb drop in 7 months - no appetite, nauseous, bad taste in my mouth are all side effects of Vyvanse.

    Ask for an alternative or stop it for some time. But any other medication in the same class will have the same side effects. The rest of your story seems unrelated and if you think your doctor is fed-up with you, you should consider another doc to rule out any underlying conditions before checking in to the mental health clinic. 😉

    get your thyroid tested. Are you on thyroid supplements? Also, some female hormones will help. You have been thru alot girl, I hope you get some real help from your drs. How about an endroconoligist (spelling) maybe they can get you back on track. My best wishes are with you.
