 Something's not right...
I know it's a lot to read but any suggestions are greatly appreciated as I am struggling to know where to look next, and I need some answers.
I am feeling pretty awful these days and I cannot seem to figure out why. I have been in and out of the doctors, and had multiple tests for various things and i can't seem to get a clear answer.
About me:
37 year old white male
5'9'
165 pounds - I don't exercise much but I eat reasonably well- lots of fruits, veg and nuts, not too much processed foods, not much red meat, very little junk food and I drink plenty of water.
Non smoker
Social drinker
Non drug user
Recent start of hair thinning and change in texture - not male pattern baldness
Virtually all hair colour is gone - from dark blonde to white (to the point where people ask if I have albinism!)
60% of eyebrow hair gone
Dry skin
Sunken eyes with dark circles
Pale skin
Slight shake in hands usually
Occasional numbness in both pinky and ring fingers
Air hunger during/post eating
Ongoing chest tightness - worse at night, seems to be relieved somewhat by crouching on all fours
Constant throat clearing
Low ringing/tinitus in left ear - constant, more noticeable at night obviously
High Cholesterol
Physiologically distended gall bladder, but no signs of gall stones
Simple Cysts on both kidneys
Tests completed with "normal" results (Aug 2012):
Urine, stool, blood, 2d heart echo, stress test, 4d ct anigography, ECG, abdominal ultrasound, chest xray, Liver profile
