Weird feeling


For as long as I can remember, I just feel so out of it, all the time. It never goes away and it has been getting really bad lately, to the point where I will get dizzy and get headaches and even feel nauseated. I feel like i can't control what I do or even what I say. I have problems with my balance and even walking is difficult sometimes.  It's just not registering in my brain and I am just not thinking. I've tried to explain it to my friends and family but they act like it is no big deal, when to me, it is all i can think about all day. Sometimes i will just lay down for hours just laying, feeling nothing. I can't help it, and I just want to feel normal, but I don't know how to help myself. It's Like  I'm in a daze, living my life in a movie, floating on a cloud, detached from everything. It has gotten so out of hand and I am starting to feel very depressed lately and extreme anxiety when I go out in public. I have seen a neurologist and I've had many tests done that all came out negative (EEG, MRI, bloodwork taken) I have even seen a therapist which was recommended but that has not helped. I'm running out of options and I don't know what else to do. Any thoughts?

These are my major symptoms
-sensitivity to light and loud noises
-short term memory is getting bad (someone will tell me something and a few moments later I cant remember what they said or it is fuzzy )
-this constant, nonstop, light headed fuzzy feeling
-visually, its harder to focus on things
-mild pressure on my forehead, between the eyes and on my forehead
-mild headaches have been coming and going
-short of breath
- hard to concentrate on something for more than 4 or 5 minutes  
- deep sleeps( I have to set a few alarms to wake up for class)
-Tired all day
- anxiety

Closed head injuries (concussions) can have an impact.  When you have more than one, they can become accumulative and affect you more.  Your Neurologist (and you) would know more on how this has affected you.

Would you say that your symptoms started when you got one of your concussions?

Thank you so much for your concern! I had a few serious concussions when I was playing football in high school about two years ago, do you think the concussions and my current symptoms are correlated? Because as far as I know there is no history of neurological problems in my family.

I'm very sorry to hear of your problems.  Have you ever had a head injury or jolt to your head any time in your life?  Is there a family history of neurologist problems?

Have you seen perhaps a different doctor that has done blood work on you to make sure everything is fine including endocrine labs (like thyroid, adrenal, etc.)?

You need to be seen by a doctor and if you are not getting anywhere with your current Neuro., then perhaps you need to see a different one.  It sounds like you have gone through a lot.  Try getting a 2nd opinion with a different Neurologist that has no affiliation (different hospital, and if needed different state) since the specialists cover for each other) for a work up.  Keep us posted on how you do.
