Where to start. I have been a competitive athetle all my life until all this happened. I am not sure if it started with a shoulder injury, or TMJ but it was about the same time. I was doing physio for my shoulder because i played baseball. The therapist touched something in my lower rightside of my back and pain shot down my left leg. That is when weird stuff started to happen. About the same time I had to have surgery on my Jaw because i shattered my articulating disk from grinding my teeth to much. I stopped physio for both a short time after. Before all of this I had a few problems such as serious cramping during periods, migraines (CT scan done at 10yrs old),intestinal intussusception with appendix removal and growing pains. Other than that i was fine. I cant remember the time when the fatigue started to set in but it did. I felt like I was hit by a mack truck as they say. I was 16. After highschool i didnt play much sports but i did continue to play competitive softball. I felt in pain all the time no matter how much i stretched. I assumed it was because of years not stretching as a kid. In highshool was troubled like most kids when they are teenagers. I was depressed, did drugs and drank. I didnt do much of that after highschool. I went straight to work. I was at work one day and my right side started to go numb, my hand, face, and tongue. my mother thought that i was having a stroke and took me to the hospital, they said that it was a migraine. In 2001 i starting having these symptoms; muscle pain, joint pain, chronic headaches, strange sensations in my face, lower back, and arms, flu like aches, neck pain and stiffness, very itchy skin, couldt stand, sit or walk, dizziness, ringing in the ear, sensitivity to light, pain in upper spine, loss of circulation in both arms when sleeping or when arms are raised, insomnia, body tremors, muscle spasms, severe pms, and chronic fatigue. The tests that were done were Upper and lower GI series done, always have brought up food or reflux. showed nothing. Bone scan showed pressure on the spleen but everything else was normal, x-rays showed scoliosis. Colonoscopy, showed irritable bowel syndrome, vaginal scope for cyst, found nothing, outcome-probably endometriosis. ear testing, tubes put in right ear for ringing, sleep test showed that I dont go into a deep sleep and that I have RLS and fibromyalgia. How that can be determained in uncertain to many. spinal testing showed different temperatures on either side of the spine, Thoracic testing showed TOS, ECG showed irregular heartbeat, heart felt like it was coming out of my chest. Doctor put me on different antidepressants but I had bad side effects, and he also stopped seeing me because he said that I cried to much. Before that he sent me to a psyciatrist, he said that nothing was wrong with me. I dont feel depressed i feel mad and angry because no one can tell me what is wrong.

April 2003 delivered first child vaginal no problems but couldnt urinate after so they had to put a cathader in. I had a hard time recouparating from childbirth. I had vaginal pressure pain for almost 3 months i could barely walk. I had severe sensitivity to smell, and touch. my periods have always been irregular going from 24-38 days.

June 2003 symptoms, very weak, exhausted, pain in bones, pain in feet and hands expesually in the morning, i feel like the nerves and muscles are sticking together down side of my legs and arms they hurt so much, lower back pain, sciatica pain, hip popped out, headaches, depression, very irritable and aggitated, still nothing. I didnt mention much to my second doctor because i feel like they look at me like a hypocondriac.

From Jan 2005-dec 2005 i suffered 2 migraine headaches that i had to be hospitalized for, one was aura and the other cluster. I also had severe chest pains i was told that is was pulled muscles. In august i went to the hospital due to abdominal pain in my right side from and back. They told me to see my doctor because they thought that it was a cyst. I never thought to go to the doctor because i thought that it was a blocked bowel. I went home and bought 2 enemas. i did both and nothing came out. So i ordered this colon cleanser from dr ***** called colonix and I started having severe abdomnial pain, i was told it was because i had to much yeast in my body. I stopped this after 3 weeks and it cleared me out despite the pain and my daily headaches and nausea were gone completely. November 2005 to jan 2006 i had severe bouts of dibilitating abdominal pain. Finally i went to the doctor. They sent me for an U/S which showed 10cm cyst. Went to gyno and he said lap to remove the cyst and that it was probably endo. I wanted a second opinion so I went to a onc/gyn and he sent me for a CT scan, another US and Ca-125. My ct showed 2 cyst one was 5.6cm the other 3cm. The u/s showed them smaller one in my ovary and the other on my kidney. My first ca-125 was done when i was ovulating and was 35 and the second I was on my 4th day of my period and it was a 78. I now was sent to another gyno because that doctor only deals with cancer patients and he beleives that i dont have that. So this doctor has put me on the pill to see if it shrinks. I am having severe leg pain feeling like my blood is clotting. I am still nauseated. From Jan 2006 to now May 2006 I completely changed my diet. I eat only organic and natural foods. No enriched or modified foods. I drink 8-10 glasses of water. I recently saw white particles in my urine. I was told it was an infection. I was put on antibiotics and it went away for a week now it is back. Symptoms i have right now are urgency to deficate and urinate, when i get there i cant go. I pee between 20-30 times day if not more. My bm hurt most of time when they come out, and i never feel as though i have completely got it all out and I am very gassy. I am not sure what is going on here.

I know that this is long but i really need help on what to do next.

I was told that i have FMS but also told i didnt, i was told that i have CFS, RLS, migraines, IBS, reflux, environmental asthma, TOS,

I have never been tested for MS, no lap for ENDO and i have colon cancer, colitis, and crohns that run on my moms side. No one will listen to me and i need help. There is something wrong and its getting worse.

I am so sorry to hear about all of the problems you are having...I had to giggle when I read the doctor said you cried to much and wouldn't see you anymore...First of all there are quit a few people in your shoes that have so many un-explained symptoms...I had lyme disease and went through the same stuff you are speaking of...Have you read on the lyme board?? After I was treated for lyme for years I then found a doctor that dealt in fybromyalgia. There are new studies going on now that claim it is a bacteria. This is how he treats all of his patients is with anitbiotics...what I learned from him made alot of sense..For one if your boyd is running fevers...you have to have some kind of bacteria or virus going on...anyway
Second of all I do believe there is a law the doctors take an oath and have to treat you...Cried to much what a joke...I guess I wouldn't want to see that doctor anyway if they felt that way...You are not crazy...just need to find the answer...Try reading the symptoms for lyme and think if you could possibly have this....

Take Care and God Bless...
Good LUck!!!

Hi there!

Sorry to hear about the hell you've been through with your health, I'm going through similar, so many hugs to you!

Fibromyalgia could be a culprit, sure, but have you been to a Neurologist? Did they do an MRI scan or any other tests? If they haven't, then perhaps they should, to at least rule out MS and other neurological nasties.

Stay strong ok? The docs may treat you like you're crazy (believe me I know!!) but you're not and you just need to push for answers as much as you can!

Hugs,

Tam :)

If I were you I'd print up your written post and give it to a Dr. They need to know what you've been through from day one and take this seriously. I do not know much about medical science but there is definately a lot of things going on. If you have good health insurance I would research top Drs in different fields and visit specialists. I am so sorry that you're going through this. I would not rule out neurological bc there are waaaaaay too many physical symptoms. It's almost unreal. Good luck to you, I hope you find a good diagnosis soon.

I am sorry to hear that you are having all these problems. While it of course could many different things, I was struck by your comment that you first experienced radiating pain when a physio pressed on your shoulder muscle. To me this suggest that your pain and your syptoms could be muscular (a massive network of trigger points). They do cause all of the problems you have mentioned.

Please check into. It is treatable and could really help your symptoms. I dont want to recommend a specific book but do a search for trigger points on the big book sites and youll find some good stuff. And do some rearch on Travell and Simons.

Best of luck
