Hello all. First, I want to thank everyone for the support you give each other. Though most of "us" will never meet most of "you", being able to connect with someone who understands, saves lives.

A little about me....(well, maybe not a little.)

40 year old mother of 1. Active duty military for 18 1/2 years, one deployment, but not to a combat area. Africa.... Rough life, huh?

I am allergic to: aspirin (and all NSAIDS), morphine, Demerol, Percocet, oxycodones and fentanyl. I also have seasonal allergies and some animal allergies, but nothing so severe that I have required allergy shots.

Hypersensitive to INH and Sudafed.

Dx'd with IBS in 2007, Periodic Limb Movement Disorder in 2010, vitamin D and B12 deficient within the last month, as well as carpal tunnel in both hands. I had a hysterectomy in 2001, but my ovaries were left in place. Due to chronic cysts, they will be removed in 2 weeks. Oh, and I was diagnosed with Age Related Macular Degeneration this past Feb.

Within the past 6 months I am dealing with general fatigue and joint pain. Numbness and tingling in my left pinkie (that is what got the carpal tunnel dx'd, but the Neurologist hasn't really addressed the pinkie). I get muscle fatigue when doing simple things, like scooping the litter box, to the point that my muscles feel like I have working out hard. I get occasional bouts of dizziness, maybe once a day now, but only lasting for a second or two. I haven't fallen down because of it. I have memory loss, which the neuro blamed on the B12, and I feel like I "lose" words when I am trying to talk or type. I am ALWAYS cold, even when wearing multiple layers and with the heat to 70. My IBS flares up 2-3 times a week. My job is stressful, but no more so than it has been for the last 15 years. I do not drink, I do not smoke.

My PCM thinks I am crazy. I am ready to request someone new, he had suggested perhaps I have some sort of auto-immune disorder but then said "but I wouldn't worry about it." I am lucky I got him to send me to a neurologist, I can't seem to convince him to get me back to a GI.

On a side note, being military, I move every 2-3 years and have not had consistent doctors.

Am I just losing my mind? Everything I research suggests fibromyalgia, MS or ALS.
