Hello, I'm new to this site. I am a married mom 41. I have two beautiful children. My son who is 14 has autism. He is a sweetheart. I have a beautiful daughter she is 3. We moved not long ago from Florida to northern California. The reason I'm here is I'm desperate! I am suffering all kinds of strange health problems, and I'm being treated very badly, because I'm only on state health insurance. I really need some support, and maybe someone might be able to help me go in the right direction.

I am suffering with symptoms that I've been told in the past by doctors, sounds like MS or some other kind of neuro problem, but, I think it's possibly something from being involved in six auto accidents, all of which was someone running into me. I say this because I had injuries to my neck, and spine each time. I have other things going on as well. I have been having low body temps, but for some reason I seem to feel great when my temp is lower. I am on blood pressure meds. I notice my blood sugar drops low all the time too, because I get very shaky, pulse real high like 110, ext. but I've been tested for Diabetes many times in the past, and it always comes up normal, except when I was pregnant with my daughter. I had gestational diabetes, I was very careful about not eating sugar, but then I had a problem once again of getting way too low, like it dropped down to 50. So as far as the neurological problems, I don't know, I am starting to believe I must be crazy, because my Thyroid tested normal. I don't have Lupus like my aunt had. Pretty much blood work is normal. Reflexes are the only thing so far that have shown up abnormal. Neuro said they are very brisk, but then said I probably just have stress, and need to see a therapist. He only did two test on me, one was with a flashlight in my eyes, the other was the reflexes. I left his office in tears, because I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle all alone, and now I'm wondering if I do have some kind problem handling stress, even though I don't feel like I'm stressed. Maybe I am, and don't realize it, but my blood pressure is running lower then before, of course I lost 28 lbs. so I know that could effect it, but it is not a danger low yet, it's still good bps, just a little lower then before. Oh, my regular md dx me of having Vertigo, and neuropathy, if that makes a difference, not sure? Sorry this was lengthy. I have other strange symptoms going on, but don't want to overload anyone, like I already am. :P

Oh, found out that what I have is not neuropathy, it's something when your muscles are constantly twitching.

It's good to have you
I'm sorry to hear of this difficult time you are facing....
Alot of what you are describing sounds like the way things were going for me right about the time I turned 40 No fun whatsoever....
The 'feeling alone' and not getting answers was the hardest part.

You've found a wonderful forum full of caring folks.
There are so many areas of support and people here really understand

Thank you for introducing yourself
I hope answers begin to unfold for you soon.

Just know that you are not alone

Truly Caring
