mystery with no diagnosis

we thought it was diabetes! i'll type all my symptoms below, maybe someone can gather what might be wrong with me. First, however, i want you to know that i've been tested for cancer, diabetes, mono, pregnancy, kidney problems, inflammation, liver problems, and anemia. the only one positive of those is the anemia, and i'm currently taking vitamins and iron pills for that..

also, i have really bad acid reflux and i'm on nexium which helps a little, but the pain sometimes gets so bad i feel like i'm having a heart attack and can't breath.

my symtoms:
I pee every twenty minutes if i eat/drink regularly... if i don't eat/drink anything much during the day, i'll pee maybe 4 times a day.

i'm exhausted all the time, and always want to sleep

i can't concentrate, even when people are just talking to me

my stomach hurts immediately after i eat or drink anything, including water

i've had diarrhea for a while, after i ate almost always, but now i haven't for about a week.

when i stand up my vision goes black and then slowly clears out in the shape of a circle... (anemia or maybe dehydration?)

i'm always hungry but have no appetite whatsoever and the only thing i can eat without being nauseous is soup.

thanks for any input,
sarah

p.s. i'm having a colonoscopy done on the 26th of this month....

Re: mystery with no diagnosis

Hello, some of the things you are describing (not eating, always being tired..etc) could possibly be a mild form of depression, maybe your not actually tired, its just perhaps you might not like your school, boy friend, job...etc. a small prombem like that could lead to the tiredness, and loss of appetite, then maybe the dizzy spells...etc are caused by lack of food or as you said dehydration,
to be honest with you, im not sure, its just i know a fella and he was like that, he was diagnosed with 'depression' well it wasnt actually a full blown case of depression, i think it was over something small,
well if your made do something you dont like over a long period of time, theres something to think about, other than that, my other guess would b lack of iron, or something
sorry i couldnt help anymore...

Re: mystery with no diagnosis

it's okay, i'm definitely not depressed though. I'm actually really happy and content with life... i have nothing to be depressed about. i'm stressed, but not depressed. my doctor is actually suspecting colorectal cancer at the moment.

Re: mystery with no diagnosis

Have you been evaluated for a hiatal hernia?
