Please help me diagnose my condition

Posted , 3 users are following.

Age: 23 Masculine 5 10.' 155lbs Complaint for three years now.

I will make this easy. This is the symptoms that I have:

Frequent urination Fatigue dry mouth strong head itching Hip pain and knee pain Lower back pain Strong fast heartbeats that last for 30 seconds and I can’t breathe

These symptoms just keep getting worse every year. I’m to the point that I cant work full time because I always feel tired. Also, I feel like I have short term small memory loss and difficulty concentrating.

I have been to many different doctors including a rheumatologist, but the blood test comes out negative. The blood test by the rheumatologist was done one year ago. I feel worse each month, and I’m really concerned.

Do I have the symptoms of RA?

Please see this post from a year ago for reference:

    Not good asking laymen to diagnose, they neither have the knowledge nor the skills, despite what they may think.   You have symptoms that are present in many diseases and ilnesses.   Testing negative to RA doesn't mean you don't have it, i'm sero negative but I most definately have RA.   See if you can contact someone in your area/state who can recommend a good Rheumatologist.   Any Rhymatologist who bases their diagnosis on just blood works is a quack!

    Oh, and stop reading medical books, it's a fact if you read up on illnesses/diseases you will almost certainly have some symptoms, if you don't you will imagine you do.
