What do these Symptoms Indicate? Posted: 08-21-06 14:50pm
I AM EXPERIENCING PERFLEXING SYMPTOMS THAT
HAVE NO EXPLAINATION. FOR 13 YEARS I HAVE
FELT POORLY. SYMPTOMS LIKE THE FLU HIT, I
HAD BODY ACHES FOR 8 MONTHS WITH EXTREME
FATIQUE. I GET WOKEN UP BY A SENSATION OF
HEART PALPITATIONS AND NERVOUSNESS. THIS
DISAPPEARS WHEN I SIT UP. SO NOW WHEN I
AM IN A EPISODE I SLEEP SITTING UPRIGHT.
MY SKELETON JUST CRUNCHED AT ALL JOINTS
DURING THIS TIME. NO FEVER. MY ANA WAS
SPECKLED AND SED RATE WAS 22. OTHERWISE I
WAS NORMAL WITH LABS. SINCE THEN EVERY 2
TO 3 MONTHS THIS RE-OCCURS. MY LAST 2
LABS HAVE SHOWN PERFECT RESULTS. SO FAR MY
ENTIRE BODY HAS BEEN AFFECTED. MY RESTING
HEART RATE IS 34 ACTIVITY RAISES IT TO
ONLY 100. I RECENTLY HAD AN EMG AND IT
SHOWED AXON NEUROPATHY WITHOUT CAUSE. A
PENDING BIOPSY OF MY SURAL NERVE AND
GASTROCNEMIUS MUSCLE WILL HAPPEN AT THE
END OF THIS MONTH. MY NEUROLOGIST CLAIMS
ONLY DIABETICS GET THIS. I AM NOT A
DIABETIC NOR AN ALCOHOLIC. I DO NOT
CONSUME ANY ALCOHOL. EPISODES OF PAIN
STILL OCCUR AND I STILL HAVE NO ANSWERS. I
RECENTLY HAD REPEAT LABS PERFORMED AND
AGAIN ALL WAS PERFECT! A MRI OF HEAD,NECK
AND SPINE WERE ALSO NORMAL. LUPUS WAS
ALWAYS A QUESTION BUT ALL LABS SAY
OTHERWISE. I HAVE NO FACIAL RASH EXCEPT
BOTH OF MY EYELIDS AND EAR CANALS HAVE AN
ITCHY RAISE SCALY RASH. IT IMPROVES WITH
THE USE OF A MEDROL PACK BUT IS ONLY A
TEMPORARY FIX. WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING TO
ME?
It is diagnose the symptoms you describe.
You can first check the condition of your
thyroid gland. You indicated in your
message that you've been diagnosed with
Hashimoto thyroiditis. In the later stages
of that disease, the gland is completely
destroyed and you will need supplementary
therapy with thyroxin to treat
hypothyroidism. You can seek an expert
opinion and medical care from an
endocrinologist.
