Hello, everyone!
I have what I suppose is a general health concern and I am unsure where to turn for help or if it is cause for concern at all.
I am 26 now and since early childhood (4-5+) I have been recurrently sick. I had a very good childhood and a very healthy home. My mother constantly prepped fresh foods, the house was spotless and dust free, etc. There wasn't any abuse and everyone got on really well.
However, I was constantly fatigued and had trouble concentrating many times. I was still an honor roll student and in gifted classes, but sitting to read or do homework was miserable for me. I just chalked it up to having a different learning style?
I also came down with a lot of nose bleeds and frequently had a cold. As I grew older, I had muscle aches, especially my back. Plenty of UTIs, kidney stones, and even a few yeast infections in my teen years.
I did "blossom" early -- age 7 I began to grow breasts and at 9 I had my first period. Those periods were HORRIBLE.
At the age of 21, I was officially diagnosed via surgical laparoscopy with endometriosis.
My fatigue, body aches, stomach upset, headaches, and constant colds have continued.
I do have very mild psoriasis and even as a child, I had trouble in physical activities because I would become winded and my legs would grow weak or tired very rapidly. This continues and physical activity can be difficult because of the breathing and of how fast my legs tire.
I have had multiple blood panels/workups done by doctors for anemia, thyroid, vitamin deficiency, diabetes/pre-diabetes, etc... But everything is perfect on paper.
This is becoming extremely quite frustrating. I just would love to feel 100% for one day. I have no idea what that is like.
Can anyone think of anything? Any suggestions at all?
