I feel like it is me talking. I have had the same symptoms for 2 years, all tests norm. low norm WBC and high norm Lymph as if I was batteling a viral infection. I keep thinking it is lymphoma, and Dr says no. Symptoms are as follows: Weight loss 20 lbs over last 2 years, pain in lymph nodes, low temp 96 to 97, blurry right eye, hair thinned, tired all the time. IBS and ulcer symptoms, constant burping, and I am sure I have not remembered all of them. I have had abd ct scan, lots of blood work lots of chest and stomach x-rays ect. I am a 30 y.o. male, and can not take it any more, Please Help. I am tired of people saying it is in my head. Its Not.

Sometimes when we feel depressed we focus on physical sensations and symptoms more than we ordinarily would. The symptoms you are describing sound like physiological depression. Weight loss. gas etc/thinning hair, nerve pain etc all can be caused by a biological depression that can be medicated with anti-depressant medications. It is a lot safer than having so many of those tests that can give you cancer such as the Xrays and Cat Scans etc.if you have a lot of them

Ok I am going threw the same thing as you are. I have over 20 symptoms that are documented. I just had my ANA test positive a few weeks ago and am waiting to go see a rheumatologist.

Go to every Dr. you have ever had blood work done before and get a copy. Its your legal right to have a copy. Than post every test completed, the result of the test, and the normal ranges for the each test. Once you have done this I promise you I will telll you every thing I can possibly think of still to be tested for you.

Also do some research on your family. Find out every illness in the imediate and extended family you can find. This can be an easy way to find your problem.

Last but not least if those arent all your symptoms make up a list of every symptom you sufer from. Sometimes its hard to remeber them all when you get a chance to make a post on the health boards.

Get back to us as soon as possible.
