I have been feeling unwell for some time and i.e. sometimes lethargic, sometimes, angry, sometime upset (like a kind of depression off and on), then I have pains all the time in my body, back pain especially, leg pains, arms, neck in fact all over my body hurts but most of the time its my back and legs. I have nosebleeds off and on and I have hair loss off and on, all of this I cannot put my finger on. I have had blood tests and now have high blood pressure whether this is not helped in the inflammation found in my blood or not I do not know. I am being re-tested to see if they can pin point what's going on with me. I am happy to go into hospital for one of those research problems so that I can find out once and for all what's going on with me. The GPs doe their best but they are limited by time and of course money. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

    #3 is very siilar what I have now. Doctor prescribed tests. ANA screen was positive ESR high (38), CRP 1.53. I don't recall I should have had those tests before and went to internet to find their meaning.

    Now I know what I should ask my doctor.

    Your explanations are very instuctive. Thank you.

    Just keep telling Dr's how ill you feel. I have been going to various consultants for about 8 yrs. have only just found one who is looking at me as a whole person instead of just at their bit of the body.I have in the past been given various diagnosis, perhaps this Dr is the one who will be able to treat me.:?
