hi there,
i was wondering if anyone could help me...i have an appointment with my doctor next week but until then it would be great if someone could give me an idea of what on earth is wrong with me...ok here it goes:
Firstly, for the past couple of years, i have been bloated 24 hours a day. The only time I am not bloated is if i do not eat (if i'm too busy at work, etc). But any little thing I put into my stomach causes me to get bloated. I wake up bloated and I get to bed bloated... It causes me to have a stomach that is large in proportion to the rest of my body...its driving me crazy!!
Second, I am always fatigued...get tired VERY easily. I have no energy at all.
Third, I suffer from migraines a few times a month. Sometimes up to 5 times, each of which lasts a couple of days.
Fourth, I seem to have some sort of nerve damage in my lower legs (they are extremely sensitive and when I touch them there is a tingling and prickling sensation). I always thought it was just normal until i finally asked family and friends...i figured out it was not normal.
Fifth, I am quite young but suffer from very irregular menstrual cycles..the last doctor I saw attributed the irregular menstrual cycle to a hormonal imbalance, but as soon as I stopped taking medicines the doctor prescribed, the irregularity came back.
Finally, going to the toilet is always an issue...either I am constipated or not. Sometimes I can go days without going to the toilet, which makes me feel really sick.
It's been extremely difficult living with all these, especially being bloated 24 hours a day, the fatigue, and the nerve damage. I don't know if these symptoms are related or not, but I cannot live with them anymore. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with me? Because something is definitely not normal.
Thanks in advance.

Might Be A Vitamin Deficient, Are You On Vitamins?
No I'm not on any vitamins at the moment. I tried taking a multivitamin for a while but nothing seemed to change, although I only took it for a few months. I will ask the doc about it next week. Thanks:)

While you're seeing the doc, you might want to ask if it could be a food allergy or intolerance.
I get the bloating, abdominal cramping, constipation, fatigue, etc. from eating gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. I don't have Celiac - I'm simply gluten intolerant, although I do have an allergy to wheat.
Good luck at your dr's appt and hope you get some answers soon.
