Whats wrong with me?

Hi everyone.

Im going crazy. Really I am. I keep having various symptoms and I just dont know whats causing them. I'll start from the begining. This time last year (oct/dec 04) I was diagnosed with Glandular Fever (mono in states). I was really weak and poorly with this and kept sleeping all the time. I was like this for about 6 months. I kept getting chest infections, asthma flare ups and major migraines.

Im still getting the above symptoms now and my Mono has gone. (Test came back negative). I had some bloods done at my doctors and I was told my WBC was high and my RBC was low and my oxygen levels was low. I wasnt given any medication but I went back for a re-test 3 months later and my WBC were normal but my RBC are still low. Im not anemic and my oxygen levels are still low. I havent had any blood tests since so I dont know what there like now. I hope there normal. Anyway this is my symptoms:

Very tired and sleeping the day away. I go to bed anytime and wake up next day between 4pm - 6pm.
I have dizzy spells.
Nausea
Chest Pain and palpitations. (heart is ok just fast heartbeat)
Stomach pains when I need the toilet (bad ones which go after passing a motion - usually diahrrhea)
Lots of ear infections
Very painful all over pressure in my head (migraines I think)
Stabbing pains once a week in my lower back but to the side. (without fail I get this every week)
Pale skin
Irritable
Periods all over the place
Numbness in legs, feet and hands (turn mottled grey or blue - poss raynauds but need to see rheumatologist)
Constant colds
Limb twitching/shakes and stiffness. (my leg or arm/hand shakes on its own which is a new symptom)
Heartburn.

All of the above symptoms have been witnessed by my family. I just dont know what to do anymore. Everytime I see my doctor and tell her Im sleeping all the time and about my headaches she perscribes me painkillers. She only listens to TWO symptoms and ignores the rest. So its going to take me ages before I get this sorted out. All the other doctors are the same. Strictly 5 minute consultation - 2 symptoms only.

What does it sound like is wrong with me? What should I do? Who should I see? Is there a specalist who can sort me out? Its driving me mad and Im fed up of feeling ill all the time and dizzy.

Thank you.

Sorry no one's replied but your symptoms are too numerous for most here to diagnose, however the one thing that comes to mind is possibly ''Lyme disease''. Some symptoms you desribe are that of Lyme , fatigue ,neuro problems (twitching) high wbc count , raynauds , so maybe discuss this with your doctor for an opinion. Also maybe ''Heavy Metals poisoning'' . Wish i could offer more advice !! harry!

Thats o.k. i would feel bad too with what your dealing with , your doctor can blood test both of these. Sometimes a hair analysis is better at screening toxic metals. People that have lived next to heavy industrial plants can be exposed (via by air) or eating mega amounts of Tuna can expose you to Mercury etc.. Wish you well !!
