I am still trying to figure out what is causing all my symptoms. I have a physiotherapist who is supposed to be pretty good at figuring out unusual cases. He has suggested part of my problem might be related to Ehlers Danlos Syndrome. I was very flexible before all the car accidents I have been in (none were my fault ) last one I was just a passenger. I used to be able to put both my legs behind my head and in general had hypermobile joints. I still have more than expected passive mobility. I have always had a lot of bruising and when having blood drawn they normally have to use a butterfly needle. I have had migraines since the age of three.
I also have Malignant hyperthermia, Fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease, GERD, Scoliosis, TMJ disorder, possible rheumatoid arthritis (xrays say yes bloodwork says no), stenosis of cervical spine, tethered cord, stricture in my esophagas, narrow angle glaucoma, constant headache since 1996 back of skull, top of skull, forehead more pronounced on left side, migraines left sided, cluster migraines, Hashimoto's Thyroid. I am probably forgetting something.
Most annoying symptoms can't pick up my feet when I walk, I shuffle or drag my feet. Can't lift up my arms, I have to bend over to wash my hair. Can't open my mouth enough to get the stricture in esophagas stretched or regular dental work, exam cleaning etc. I have lost my independence because I can't drive a car or even walk in the back yard or to the park.
Any suggestions or information would be greatly appreciated.
