This certainly is an interesting topic.
In the last year and 1/2 I have had the most odd things happen to me. It started last year with dizzy spells, not debilitating, but just feeling "off" in the head. It would last for a while and then disappear. I have experienced anxiety, shaking in the body and hands, tired muscles, achy joints (always had those), continual sinus trouble, fatigue, and now as of recent, numbness and tingling in the toes. Just yesterday I had a very long day out of the house with my 5 children and today I am utterly exhausted, and on the dizzy side again. My right hip joint, I can hardly lay on, I have this muscle pull sensation in the gall bladder area, etc. These things all come and hang around for a while, then go, then something else weird pops up. Just the other day I had a HUGE dizzy spell, not like the others, where it just hit me and the whole room was wobbling for a while. It subsided, but scary.
The frustrating part:
This last year I have seen the following:
Chiropractor/natural path ~ his tests say stress and anxiety
Endocrinoloigst (I have thyroid nodules) ~ lab work for here keeps coming back completely normal
Nuerologist 2X ~ Tests and blood work have come back fine and normal and even the second time I went in to see him for repeat weird sx, he did his testing again and sent me home saying..."I don't have anything........." and pretty much gave me the stress diagnosis after telling me that he wants to catch things that are going on and not attribute sx to stress (makes sense, he wants to cover his bases)
OB ~ just to check in with him. He examed, and thought it was stress also
counselor ~ ok, maybe I'm just nuts, huh! He had me pegged for severe anxiety and depression. Thing is I don't FEEL depressed, except when I'm having these unexplained junk go on that takes me away from my motherly duties for a day or 2. I think that would be pretty normal, wouldn't you?
nurse practitioner ~ thought I might be having allergies
I have had blood work drawn 4- 5 times this year. All come back normal.
For a year or so, I have been feeling this way. If it is not one thing, it's another, I rarely get a goofy symptom break and frankly it just makes me tired to be dealing emotionally with this all the time. I did have 1 break recently for a week. My family and I took a lovely vacation south about a month ago, and we had no obligations whatsoever. I felt completely fine, anxiety, nuerologically, mentally, energy wise, except a sore hip joint which was tolerable and a bad cold. It was heaven to feel good for this week!
I just don't know where to turn anymore. I just go to doctor to doctor, and they all tell me similar things. Who do I see next? Do I just ignore this stuff cuz I'm sick of running to doctors? Frankly, I am terrified of what's going on and I'm sick and tired of living in fear of what symptom the next day is going to bring and if I overdo it, I'm out of the game for a day. I feel like I'm half of I was. I also wonder if I'm going to make it to see my children grow up at the rate things are going.
I am a 6X HG'er, 5 living babies, 1 in heaven, I have had IV zofran for 4 of my pgs, all fist/second trimester HG, then my last 2 babies, zofran/unisom/b6 combo throughout the end or I would end up throwing up 24 hours after my missed dose.
It really is the only connection I can make to all these things.
If you've been with me thus far, I thank you. I guess I'm just commiserating with you all, and looking for answers wanting to live outside the fear........................
