Does anyone share these symptoms with me? Any help is appreciated!

Posted , 4 users are following.

I. Lactic acid “burning" sensation (muscles are easily exhausted) in EVERY muscle in the body with simple tasks (brushing hair, talking/singing for a long time, swallowing, walking up the stairs). Progressive.

II. Persistent brain fog/cognitive decline. (head pressure when thinking hard for more than 30 min)  

III. Periods of various symptoms like, come & go for brief period of time (lower left kidney flank back pain, burning sensation peeing, constipation, occipital neuralgia, burning sensation in neck).

IV. Chronic Prostatitis (Lower back ache, urine incontinence, rectal pain, lower right back flank sharp pain/ache; possible triggered by certain foods)

V. Skin is extremely sensitive (easily ticklish everywhere)

VI. Crepitus (joints crack, gravel, grind). Ex: bicep curl w/o weights, sitting down and leaning. Progressive

VII. Sternum tightness (inhale, exhale).

VIII. Hands and feet can experience pins/needles or coldness if a certain position is held for a short amount of time.

*14 yrs old: Frequent urinary symptoms, Frequent constipation, 2 week flu, eye twitch began.

15-17 yrs old: Progressive muscle exhaustion, brain fog. I did play sports, but I noticed I wasn't feeling "normal". I tired out easily.

I'm a male in my early 20s and have dealth with these symptoms (gradually some new symptoms get added) for the past 7 years of my life. Doctors don't know what's wrong with me except to diagnose me with CFS. 

I also had a chronic H Pylori infection, that's now gone. Even though my activity levels are reduced 50 percent, I can still walk around and go to work full time, but these symptoms, especially the muscle fatigue is bothering me so much. I was an active boy before 15 years old, doing so many things.

    LDN (low dose Naltrexone) internet search it, make a print out copy

    Of your findings ask your Doctor for a prescription. Your Dr. Won't

    Know about it since it's a trial drug. Once you read about it you'll

    see it's was a drug originally used to ease people off opiad and alchol

    Addiction. It works with the neurotransmitters especially dopamine

    Which has made me well. I have no more of any of those symptoms

    You talked about I had those and IBS, diverticulitis. I'm completely

    Well hard to believe but very true. I hope you get well too pass it on.

    Well you have another of things happening .Yes I have many of the things you mention for the pain I use ibuprofen. I think seems to help. As for the constipation just make sure I eat plenty of high fiber foods. .

    I have all the same symptoms plus a few more. I had a form of mono at 28. But didn't get epstein Bahr and chronic fatigue syndrome until I was 30. At 38 I had fibromyalgia. I progressively got worse and added symptoms too.

    I was so tired I would fall asleep at work. Some days I couldn't get up. Sometimes to get up to go to the bathroom was too far (10 feet from my bed) would just roll over and go back to sleep. Was sleeping almost 20 hrs a day. On days I could get up and shower, my heart felt like it was going to pound out of my chest. Getting dressed and doing my hair took all of what little energy I had.

    They had put me on prescription speed for the chronic fatigue but it had an adverse reaction. Got stoned instead of having energy.

    Then with the muscle fatigue and pain they prescribed muscle relaxers and anti inflammatory drugs. These just made me tired and had a sensitivity to sun.

    As for the acid reflux they had given nexium but while it helped with the acid it set off ibs. So I would go back and forth with constipation or diarrhea.

    Finally I had enough this past year and went to alternative medicine. Vitamin b and d for energy. Magnesium calcium and zinc (all in one) got rid of my restless legs, muscle spasms, and has helped minimize my tingling in my hands and feet. 2 an hr before bed mow lets me sleep 9 hrs and have significant improvement in my cognitive functions. Probiotics, digestive enzymes bone broth and gaps diet has helped with acid reflux, stomach cramping, and ibs.

    Still have the grinding and cracking in my joints so I have started a new program of chrioprractor, accupuncture and physical therapy.

    Also have an eye twitch and now a spot has been coming and going. Doc wants me to get checked out.

    So you are not alone. You have to find what works for you. Most importantly find a doctor that will listen and is willing to try to find ways to help. Wish you all the best and hopefully you will find some relief.
