Bad news--I think you have to get a diagnosis BEFORE they put you on the show. Bummer.

Did you see the thread I started yesterday?

Some of your symptoms may be from sinus problems alone.

Sinus problems = headaches, phantom tooth pain, TMJ, ear aches and that under water feeling, trouble swallowing, swollen glands, recurring cough.

Infections = hot flashes, heat intolerance, trouble sleeping, fatigue, nauseau, weakness

Never thirsty = dehydration, constipation, dry mouth, etc.

What are your sinus problems exactly?

Cherie

Well, MM, if I didn't already think that it "Sucks to be Me", I'd think it Sucks to be You..:D

Having a Pity Party every now and then, is a good thing, but then you have to move on and not dwell on it.

Feel Better, Dear One..:hug:

I think you have to get a dx to be on the show, like B2Y said...

:(

I watch and write down the names of the Drs though. Never know when you might get a chance to go see one of them.

;)

At least you know those docs CAN dx something.

:p

I'm not trying to go around labeling everyone with MCS now BUT your SX list looks a lot like what I have been dealing with for years. :Scratch-Head:
Do you find your SX will come and go for what seams like no reason? Ever feel better after you have been sitting outside for a while?

Here's my SX list...
Blurred vision, eye pain - comes and goes
Jerky Eye Movements - comes and goes
Flashing lights in eyes - comes and goes
floaters, spots that move on eyes - all the time
Muscle weakness and numbness - most of the time
Spasms, Cramps, Involuntary contraction of muscles - most of the time
Restless Leg Syndrome - most nights
Shaking - all the times, is worst at times
Partial numbness, tingling, buzzing and vibration sensations - comes and goes
Nerve pain and electrical shock sensations - comes and goes
Odd tingling feeling over body, like when you get chill bumps but I don't get "the bumps"
IBS
Short-term and long-term memory problems, forgetfulness - really bad all the time
Slurred speech and "loss of word" (can't say a word I'm trying to) - comes and goes
Increase in severity of symptoms with heat
Body hurts when cold
Swallowing problems - comes and goes
Not sleeping well - most of the time
Cold hands and feet - most of the time
Fatigue - most of the time
Ears ringing - all the time
Headaches - 24/7, sometimes migraines
Vertigo - comes and goes
Feeling of floating when laying down - comes and goes
Low body temp
Feeling like I'm dreaming and just can't focus on what's going on - comes and goes
Facial tingling - comes and goes
Feel like I'm not emptying my bladder all the way sometimes
Painful tailbone, can't sit and watch a whole move or drive very long
When I look up my eye lid doesn't always move up - comes and goes
Unable to tell hot from cold water with my feet
optical migraines/painless migraines
when I get chill bumps it hurts, feels like needles pocking me
Feeling like I have a bug crawling on my skin when there's nothing there - comes and goes
Burning pain in left hip since Dec. 27th 2007 and it's still going on - Now Gone completely
"Black outs", My ears ring, eye site goes black, I can't tell if I'm still standing (I hang on to something), last about a minute.
Burning throat that comes and goes
Burning pain in my nose, comes and goes
tingling feeling on my fore head, comes and goes, if it last long it becauses a migraine headache.

Now that I have removed most of the chemicals in my house my SX list is VERY short. I still have SX come and go but most of the time I know it's because I'm near a chemical.

Braingonebad........maybe i should look on the shows website and find a doctor that way. Good idea.

momxseven...........i have never heard of MCS. I need to go look into this.
I have often said that something in my house is killing me. Now with some of the problems my kids have........?????

Thanks everyone for your replies.

When I go to the infectious disease guy.......I will say if you can figure out this well be famous. No pressure there!!!!!
