| Help Please I am at my wits end and worried sick
Hello, I am new on these boards and I found the site by typing in my symptoms into the google search engine. I am twenty three and have been having reoccuring problems since the age of sixteen when I started self harming, taking laxitives, dieting and with drawing from social relationships. Since the age of sixteen I have found it impossible to maintain normal social relationships and consequently do not have much social interaction during the week. Anyway I am straying from my origional point.
The symptoms I typed in were as follows; Bowel Problems for approx two years to three and a half years
Problems with period re pain = three or more years, can alleviate it with ibruprofane so possible some sort of inflammatory problem.
Tiredness to excess = problem for at least four or five years
Problems sleeping = variable over a period of four to five years
Constant colds,cough, malaise well over four years and nearly once/twice every single month.
Joint pains and muscle weakness occurred over the last six months to a year and has significantly got worse during the last three months and affects me several times a week.
Excessive thirst = past three to four years
Dizziness = Problems and spurts since the age of seventeen. Partial blackouts since the age of sixteen black colour seeps into sides of my eyes and there is a funny sound/smell when this happens.
Chronic unexplained pain and bubbles in stomach for a period of three and a half years.
Swollen glands frequent in a month and this has been happening for well over three years.
Tingly sensation in my head two or more years.
Painful eyes past three to four months.
Itchy scalp last six months.
Problems concentrating three or more years.
Forgetting things three or more years.
Co ordination problems three or more years.
Going hot and cold and sweating profusely about two years.
I have been diagnosed with the following over the past couple of years, pelvic inflamatory disease, irritable bowel syndrome, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and personality disorder (emotionally unstable type). Despite being on 150mg of Lustral (Sertraline) I am still experiancing things like paranoir, voices in my head, split vision with real events happening and false negative events happening, severely violent thoughts and images, self distructiveness and all the symptoms above that relate to my head.
I feel incredibly unwell and do not even feel upto a walk down the road on most days because I fear fainting etc and get very tired. Two days ago the new psychiatrist that I saw for the first time said she was going to send me for an MRI scan and she also sent me for blood tests and seem to be testing for a lot of things. I get very worried about health issues and I really am very scared that I have something fatal.
Brief family history of disorders include my maternal Grandma who died recently, she had an over active thiroid and died from cancer but the primary site of the cancer was not known. My maternal Grandfather currently has prostate cancer and arthritus. My Mother is an alcoholic but had mental problems before the drinking which she never sought treatment for she had exceptionally violent tendancies and it was like living with Jeckle and Hyde. My Mother also has athritus, had painful periods and irritable bowel syndrome. My Father is fit as a whistle the majority of the time and has only suffered from a bad back. My paternal Grandma is now in her nineties and has had cervical cancer only. My paternal Grandfather died due to old age and there is no known cancer inccidents on my Fathers side. My Mums side of the family has type 2 diabetes. I think that my maternal Grandmother had a sister who died of cancer at a young age.
Please if anyone can help with advice, I would rather no than not know. I am going out of my mind with doctors not following up notes and putting physical symptoms down to me being crazy.
