New Symptoms

[IzabelleC]

Hello,

I already have a bunch of auto immune diseases, to name a few, Addison, hypothyridism, arthritis.  Diagnost for Addison was awful, I had nothing, was depress or had Munchausen.  I’m sure you guys know the drill…  The day a new doctor figure it out I was dying, would not have lasted the night.  I've been able to deal pretty well with all of it but I have scared of doctors and hospitals.  I'm always scared that if something is wrong they'll tell me nothing is wrong with me.  


And here we go again new symptoms have begun to appear I do not understand it and can not get rid of them.  I am so weak, like if my sodium level was low, but it is not and my BP is good,  I take three steps and I'm out of breath like I've just ran a marathon.  I have trouble brushing my hair or holding a toothbrush.  Sometimes I get really nauseous and I don't sleep too well.


I could really use some help to figure things out.

Thank you so much



Isabelle

Munchausen's seriously? Please tell me you filed a complaint on that doc

Hi Izabelle.

Unfortunately Izabelle this is bordering a crisis situation.
My opinion is that because of your conditions, specially Addison's,
which is a very serious condition and can affect just about any system and organ in the body, you need a very knowledgeable health professional to pull you through.

You could use support from a family member or a close friend to push  for you.
The conventional medical system, unfortunately is just a system, which by default leaves the weak and vulnerable mostly under-treated, if not mistreated, unless a strong advocate is around (money helps too).

Hypothyroidism is possibly secondary to your low adrenal function (survival
mechanism) and arthritis symptoms will likely be exasperated when immune function is diminished due to the inability of your adrenals to produce cortisol.

Wishing you well.
