what is wrong with me

Hi, I'm just not sure where to put this. Cause I don't know what it is. Ok I'm 27 years old. And in the pasted 2 years thing are falling apart, at a high rate. I fall down stairs 2 times in Dec. I fall over toys, over the carpet, over the dog. I drop things, it is like my hand or finger just don't have the strength. I'm getting so weak, someday I can't even open a soda bottle. I'm afraid to carry my 2 year old, for fear that I will drop her. Memory, I don't have one. I can't remember anything, how to spell words, things I'm doing, my kids b-day, ect. Gets worse with stress.
If I have to go to the bathroom, I have to go right now (2 mins) if that, no joke. I have dry skin, not just in the winter. My eye sight is getting bad. Going from close to far thing it takes awhile to focus. My eyes are so sensitive to light, sunlight, car lights, even lights in my house. I don't drive much at night cause I can't take the lights. I'm so tired all the time, no energy.
Walking upstairs, I get out of breath. But I'm 150lbs, out of shape,and I smoke. But I have steps in my house and someday it is all I can do to walk up them. My hands and feet are always cold. I can't every get them warm. My teeth are breaking.
I feel like I'm in a 80 year old's body. I don't like doctor cause they look at you like it is all in your head. But I wanted to see if there is something wrong or if it is in my head. Maybe I am just lazy,clumsy,and forgetful.
Thanks, Kenzie

Also on my left hand my two small finger have this numb or tingling feeling a lot of the time. I can't stand either of my kids laying on my. I feel like I can't breath. Like I can't get enough air.

Re: what is wrong with me

You need to get to a doctor ASAP and see what is wrong with you. If that doctor won't listen to you, then go see another one. Doctors work for you, so "fire" them and see another one until someone takes you seriously and runs some tests on you. Don't give up! How long have you been experiencing these symptoms?

As for being out of breath, that could indicate asthma. I have it, and I know I get out of breath after climbing stairs.

Please let us know how you are doing, but my advice is to see a doctor and keeping seeing them until someone listens. Take care and God bless.

Re: what is wrong with me

Yes, you definitely need to see a neurologist to be tested. If the cause can be discovered and treated, you'll possibly remedy some of those symptoms. There are tests that the neuro can perform at the first examination to determine your grip strength, gait, reflexes and also the neuro can order lab/imaging as the specialist deems. Be prepared to answer questions about your medical hx with regards to illnesses, fevers, accidents, and family hx.

Good luck and be sure to make an appt. so you can get medical care, possibly get better to enjoy your 2 year old!
