I realize that, not only are you suffering from these unexplained and undiagnosed, nasty and worrisome health problems but you are very frustrated that all of your efforts have not yielded any improvements.

All we can do as fellow patients is discuss things that have helped us, or that we have researched, in the hopes that you can get some helpful ideas, or, at least, not feel so alone regarding your problems.

It would certainly seem that, considering your numbness and weakness in your hand and your low oxygen levels that the hand problems were due to the lack of oxygen getting to your muscles. Could that be one of the same causes for your migranes? And..... it brings up the main question, what is causing the low oxygen???

Blue nails and toenails can be another sign of low oxygen levels. Something either anatomical, internal or external is causing your low oxygen levels. But..... what?!

Not too surprising or unexpected... the blue arm veins are symptomatic of low oxygen levels. But what is causing the low oxygen levels? Could it be metabolic? Could it be a NeuroHormonal or Immune System over-reaction or over sensitivity?

Many of your body's hormone levels are shut down during the night, and some are increased, like Melatonin. It's a body process called your Circadian Rhythm. The Circadian Rhythm controls the "normal" circulation schedule of 300+ hormones of your body. So.... if there is a NeuroHormonal over-reaction, could the nightly shutdown of your body's 300+ hormones make the situation worse, winding up with lower oxygen levels???

I don't blame you for being scared. Anyone would be!

Do you have a blood pressure gauge? Also... do you know or record your heart rate or your heart beat while you are going through these increased problems?

All these symptoms see to scream "low oxygen levels" don't they!? But why is this happening???

Sorry you are going through all these worrisome and uncomfortable symptoms. Dizziness caused by low oxygen? Could it be hormonal? Questions and few answers.

Blab all you want. Sound off, if it helps. Perhaps someone can help?

You are doing the right things. Your mom is dismissing your problems because she probably doesn't want to deal with them. It's all complicated and unexplainable and seemingly unsolvable. When we are faced with situations that are difficult to solve or deal with, sometimes it is easier to ignore the problems. Sadly, problems usually do not go away by themselves and frequently get worse.

In my case, I have some health problems that have gone undiagnosed and unexplained, and I have had to do a lot of research, trial and error in order to improve my health.

I've got both NeuroHormonal and Immune System problems. My body constantly over-reacts and over-produces some of the 300+ hormones and cytokines in my body. I have found many foods, drinks, chemicals, additives, supplements, materials, odors, furniture, plastics, rubber, cigarette smoke, gasoline, auto exhaust, pollens, pollutants, things that touch my skin, heat, etc., that make my health worse.

I have been able to greatly improve my health, and survive 25+ years of Heart Failure and unexplained nasty health problems, with a good quality of life, by avoiding the things that cause my body to over-produce hormones and cytokines.

Have you ever found things, foods, drinks, odors, things that touch your skin or make you too warm, etc., that make you feel worse?

So...... what I did was start eliminating things from my diet, and my environment, that "seemed" to make me sick. We tore up all of our wall to wall carpeting. We got rid of wooden cabinets, couch, leather furniture, some plastic drawers, smelly wood. I stopped wearing some of my clothes that made my condition worse. Some blue dyes seemed to make me worse, while other blue dyes didn't?

I went on an extremely healthy diet of low calorie, small top quality, home made meals with frequent eating, high fiber.

I don't use artificial sweeteners. I include organic foods in my diet when possible.

I do demanding physical exercise every day.

I take very effective medications, like Coreg and Quinapril, which attempt to block or inhibit my body from over-producing harmful hormones and cytokines.

I don't know if any of this could possibly be of help to you?

What do you think about the possibility that something in your diet, that you wear, that is in your home, chemicals used in your home or on your body, could be part of your health problems, and avoiding some things might help?
