hello,
I am a 29 year old female, mother of one (three year old) I don't smoke, don't drink, don't do drugs. Overall I am fairly healthy. But I feel unhealthy all the time, please help.
Here's the facts:
Positive Tilt Table Test
Potassium = low 3.3 - doc. recommended suppliments
SGPT (ALT) = low 8
Esinophil% = high 3
hematocrit = 36
MCHC = low 33.8
Vitamin D = low - levels not, but enough that my doc recommended suppliments
Everything else appears normal, I even had: thyroid tests - TSH, T4, T3; ANA Titer; Cortisol (AM); ESR (Sed rate); B-12 level check; Protien; Albumin; A/G Ratio; Globulin; and CBC work-up
Here's the symptoms:
fatugue
numbness hands and feet (possible carpal tunnel)
restless leg syndrome
shortness of breath with little physical assertion
weak hand grip
cognitive fog
memory loss (short and long term)
weakness
hoarseness (voice changes, hard to explain)
slightly enlarged tongue
thinning hair
skin changes (no wrinkles but I am aging very quickly)
Skin tags
loss of elasticity in skin
headaches
mood swings
climbing steps or sitting for a period of time can bring symptoms about
joint pain (knees, elbows, hands - i have even had fluid removed from my knee that appeared "clean")
occasional chest and rib pain
pale
dark circles under eyes
Non-restorative sleep
What could be wrong with me? I have found a few possibilities but I don't know what tests I need, or if I'm even on the right track.
Possibilities: Amyloidosis
Leukemia
Renal Insufficiensy
Parathyroid disease
Villous Aedenoma
Renal Tubular Acidosis
Fanconi Syndrome
Cystinosis
Sarcoidosis
Myelofibrosis
Multiple Myeloma
Gout
Hashimoto's Disease (and other thyroid disorders)
Aldosteronism
Cushing's Syndrome
Adrenal Tumors
Hepatic Dysfunction
My doc. just wants to treat my lab work with suppliments, rather than finding a cause for these abnormalities, what should I do? I feel like I am being robbed of my life, my quality of life *****, I can't do anyhting I am always sick. Where do I turn?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
