Weird symptoms
Posted , 1 user is following.
Hey guys, when I was 25, I was diagnosed with thoracic degenerative disk disease causing pain in my mid spine as well as chronic muscle spasms. Was put on Neurontin for a while and then tramadol. When I was 35 I found that if I did yoga at least every three days I could function without the drugs. Got my teaching certification and was doing great for about 5 years. Last September, I started having pain in my hands. I would put them in an ice bath and that helped for a while. My doctor suggested cyclists palsy. Then a few weeks later the bottoms of my feet started hurting. Burning sensation that sometimes feels like bee stings. Around December it got so bad I had to stop teaching yoga and could hardly walk around to shop for Christmas gifts. Found a functional medicine doctor who found I had high red blood cell count and very high iron (unusual for a girl). Liver test shows liver enlargement and high ALT. Non smoker. Non drinker. No medications or birth control. I show very low creatinine urine levels. Lately I have started dropping lots of things. Spilled a carrier of three coffees on myself in the car while just holding it in my lap. My dr. had me get a phlebotomy to get my iron down. Latest blood test shows low iron. Am tired all the time. Other possible symptoms. I have been seeing sparkles in the shower when washing my hair. Noticed dark spots (new this year) on my face and around my mouth. Chin hair (may be normal for turning 40, not sure). Dizzy spells. New lump under my armpit about the size of golf ball. OBGYN says not breast cancer, says they think it is a swollen blood vessel. Ultrasound doppler shows what they call slow moving blood. Still dealing with the bad mid back pain. Ice packs on my feet at night help. Also have developed a rash on my chest that looks like a sunburn and blanches. Tested for Lyme. Negative. ANA titer negative, Lupus negative, gallbladder disease negative. Hoping someone out there has experienced similar issues.

And so it goes, be very carefull because you'll be mis diagnosed. see a nerooligist and get a EMG. then at least you'll stop wasting money and time seeing doctors. You may have central neropathy. But at least eliminate that. I have been misdiagnosis so may times. simular to you. i hope you don't have that, because your so young.
