I have been sick for the past 6 years. I have seen all sorts of specialists and been treated for lots of illness'. One of my symptoms is allergies and EXTREMELY dry sinus's. I have received allergy shots for over a year with no luck. My symptoms are as follows:
Fatigue
Headaches/Migranes
Weight Gain
Depression
Irritability
Fluid Retention
Anxiety
Poor memory
Poor concentration/Brain Fog
Low sex drive
Dry skin
Low motivation
Insomnia
Allergies/other sinus problems
Breathing problems
Tired after a long sleep
Swollen glands
Lots of phlem in my throat
Extremely tight muscles
Hyoid off to one side

Can anyone suggest anything that might be wrong cauysing all these symptoms. I thought my allergies was a sideeffect of another ailment but maybe its the allergies cuasing all my problems after all? Anyone have any info?

A lot of your symptoms match the profile for depression. Maybe feeling like crap all the time has made you depressed? If you got treated for that, mabye you would feel good enough to fight the other things.

That's what I was going to say. Depression can cause almost all of those symptoms. You should definitely see someone about testing you for depression.

I have seen psychiatrists and psychologists. I have been on many different anxiety and depression medications over the 6 years Ive been sick. I truely feel my depresion is a symptoms linked to something else happening in my body and not the cause of all the other symptoms.

And you've already been tested for both food and respiratory allergies?
