My overall symptoms include general
fatigue (sometimes to the extent that I
can't walk), also nausea (all the time, my
stomach always hurts), and frequent
bathroom visits (bowel movements).
It dosen't matter how much I sleep...I'm
still always tired.
I've had these symptoms which have been
getting progressively worse, for maybe 4
years now. The fatigue is to the point
where I can't make it through the day if I
don't stop and take a nap. The nausea is
to the point where I vomit every morning
when I awaken, and sometimes during the
day. I also cough a lot, normally a very
deep loud cough.
Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of
whatever this is? Or does anyone perhaps
know what it might be? 23 year old male,
formerly 100% healthy.

I'd go to a doctor immediately before you
keel over from malnutrition or something
worse! You might have a contagious
disease. You might have a congenital
disorder. Whatever it is, you need to
fisit a doctor immediately and tell him
everything you told us. We can't fix you
over the internet. A doctor can give you
medicine, perfom tests, etc.

Went to the doctor already, all that he
tested for was thyroid disease. People
seem to think this is all in my head, but
it's actually the thing I want to get rid
of the most in my life. I think I need a
full blood workup, but the doc dosen't
seem to think that's the right thing to
do.
Any suggestions folks?

Force your doctor. It is your body and
your right. He can't lawfully refuse you
any treatment unless it is harmful, and a
full blood work up isn't harmful. I hope I
don't see you on .medical .mysteries years
from now!

No, but this is highly unlikely...I've had
only one sexual partner in my life, and
it's a female. And I had no sexual
partner until I was 21. I've never done
drugs, and the only contact with needles
I've had was through immunizations at the
doctor's office.
I don't work in the medical field, so no
direct exposure to blood-bourne
pathogens...
On a side note, at the suggestion of
another, I began taking Iron supplements
recently. There's been a noticeable
difference in the way I feel, namely, I
seem to have more energy. Is it true that
an iron deficiency can cause some of my
symptoms?
As for my stomach problems, it may be what
I eat sometimes...I don't know what the
deal is with my bathroom issues
though...possibly an allergy I guess.
Anyone have further suggestions?
