Hello, world
firstly, get ready for some reading, sorry. Im a female, 20 yrs and I have had a few symptoms that come on in episodes, it is at the stage now if im lucky i will by 'ok' for 2 months, still in pain though, but sick for about 4 months. It started when i was 11 years old and progressively got worse and worse. Now i am 20, not keeping a job, cant drive, study, focus.. it goes on and on. I'll get to my symptoms in a second.
I have had a lot of tests, basically everything except for a colons-copy or endoscopy. I've seen various GPs, psychiatrists, psychologists, councillors and a neurologist once and thats about it.
My symptoms are at present,
- Pains in the ovaries, no bleeding or period for months
- Vomiting averaging about 8 times a day
- Constipation that lasts for about a week on and off, extreme pain in the bowels
- hunger pains but food usually comes back up about 15 minutes after ive eaten it, longest ive gone without eating is two months.
- Migraines
- this has gotten a lot better with personal strategies, but what they call nerve paraesthsia, pain that usually shoots down one side of my body at a time, even air hurts my skin, but only lasts for a couple of minutes now, where it use to last for weeks at a time.
- Weird yellow puss filled blisters, generally on my hands and around my belly button
- Vision, very hard to focus and hurts around my eye sockets, sometimes im seeing the same outline of a light (usually white light) for the whole day, onsets of tunnel vision, sometimes everything looks kind of smokey,gray.
- Bottoms of my feet, feels like under the skin gets very itchy sort of burning.
-A pain in the left side is there constant with or without episodes,about 4 cm above my ovary, pain similar to pulling a muscle.
- Behind my ears gets really sore
- A few drs have also confirmed they can feel a few lymph nodes swolen, under the arm pit and one on the left side of my groin is noticeably swolen.
- Benign tumour in the breast
- Very hard to sleep, i have a couple of hours sleep where im getting really bad nightmares and my partner claims i cry, talk and grind my teeth when im sleeping, or sometimes choking on vomit.
- small secretion bilateral to the optic nerve (think on the left) that the neurologist said generally people who suffer from migrains get.
I hope i have explained things the best i can.
If anyone else is experiencing these things, please let me know I'm not alone. I don't feel sane anymore! I don't know where to go from here... They suggest i go to a city but i don't have the money or strength to travel that way.
