I have been having problems for a few years now and have had an MRI on my brain, and a blood panel done. The results that came back were 'normal' according to the doctors, but they did not explain much, and they did not seem concerned about finding out what *is* wrong. I did ask the doctors for additional clarification and got very little response. I also got the impression they were rolling their eyes at my questions. So, I thought I would come here and post a list of problems (symptoms) and see if anyone has any ideas. I have the MRI and blood panel results in case that info would help. (on a side note, no one asked me to fast before I had the blood tests done and I'm concerned that might have skewed the numbers. Also, they did not test T3, T4, etc... only TSH)
problems: [anxiety, nervousness, panic attacks], [depression, mood swings, anti-social behavior], [joint pain, body aches, chronic fatigue], [sudden weight gain, intolerance to cold, cold hands and feet], [constant pain in lower abdomen, occasional sharp pain in lower left abdomen, bloating, felling of fullness, gas pain, frequent trips to bathroom], [arrhythmia, neurocardiogenic syncope, low blood pressure, shortness of breath, muscle cramps in chest], [slow memory access, difficulty remembering certain facts, misremembering things (being convinced I am remembering something correctly only to be proven wrong), disproportionate reactions], [patches of thick itchy dry skin, dark circles under eyes], [prone to infections].
I tried to organize that list as best I can. Any ideas of a direction to go would be helpful. I am tired of feeling terrible every single day. It's no way to live. I am happy to go to doctors and have tests run, I just need an idea of where to go - my doctor hasn't suggested anything and has basically told me to stop worrying.
Again - if MRI info or the blood work results would be a better help, let me know. I just didn't feel comfortable posting that info here.
Thanks in advance,
