Any suggestions?? - General Health Message Board

I am hoping someone can help with the symptoms that I am having. I have been to the doctor for several of them but I don't think he is looking at the big picture and just treating each one as it comes along. I am experiencing:

Itching hands and feet (no rash) for the last 2 years
Rash on arms, legs or torso that travels daily and lasts only an hour or two
Vertigo (went to the doctor and he said "you have vertigo, take this medicine." Did not do any other testing)
Numbness on thigh (lasted a day or two)
Twitching in various muscles ( has been going on for the last few years)
Thumping noise in ear (went to ENT - was told it was myoclonus - no testing performed
Confusion and forgetfulness (more than normal)
Occasional hot flash or chills
Low B-12 levels (taking weekly injections)
Back and hip pain (was sent to Orthopaedist - MRI was negative and they gave me a
TENS unit and told me that there is nothing they can do)
Sudden urge to urinate (don't always make it)

Any ideas?? Thanks

Sorry but I only put this on the General Board - not any others. Can you tell me where else it appeared?

Thanks

My sincere apologies -- I meant the reminder for another poster -- I put it on the wrong thread -- oops.

Have you considered seeing a naturopathic doctor? Because of their philosophy of medicine, they treat you as a whole person, rather than looking at the symptoms one a time and trying to treat them. They also will sit down with you to discuss your concerns and goals rather than only seeing you for a quick visit which is hardly enough time for a diagnosis sometimes. If you want to search for a doctor in your area, you can do that at the American Association of Naturopathic Physician (AANP) website. Hope you find someone who can help you.
