Hello,
First off, I'd like to say what a great forum this is! To stand by someone, sharing and supporting problems when they need it most, is so wonderful of all of you!
Just thought I'd add a bit of positivity to my thread =)
Well, I've been getting bone pain, this has been prolonged pain for a year or more, I've noticed the pain starting to get worse. My arm can get so sore I can't lift it, can't drive, write. I also get bruises, I woke up one morning to have a shower, looked at my leg, covered in bruises. The bruises I've found come with my fatigue, my rash, spots, and I just keep sleeping and sleeping, I've noticed my appetite is deteriorating and I'm getting pain on my left side, I also have altered bowel movements and bladder problems.
I've had a urine analysis and blood tests which came back ok. I've had Chronic fatigue, and the dr said it can come back within the first 5 yrs, it's been 3 years so far. I understand it's not a good idea to go online and look for things, but it's a lost cause when you tell the doctor your symptoms and they dont do anything, or investigate. I also know the doctors don't like to worry you, and due to being a Uni student, they don't want to add anymore stress to what you've already got, but I am getting really severe pain in my arms, legs, the other night it was in my chest, at my back, and it is just a really sharp, annoying pain, it comes and goes, but then it'll stay around. The only way for the pain to go away is to fall asleep and try and ignore it. I also had a stabbing pain in my finger the other night, it just wouldn't go away and it was so sharp.
With all my symptoms I have wrote down, I know theres so much it can and can't be, and the process of elimination for a GP is hard. I think I need a bone density test and MRI, but just trying to rule out anything to do with my bones, being lack of calcium, or a benign cyst.
If you could give me some advice, I'd be so grateful
Thanks.
