Im not looking for a diagnoisis..Im just looking for support and some possible ideas to throw around. I have been to 5 doctors 4 of them think im off my rocker, floating with the aliens in outer space...lol..maybe i am but i am 99.9999% sure that im not. The fifth doctor actually believes me after i came in and my opening statement was im not crazy this is very real can you listen to me. He actually believes my symptoms and is sending me to rhuematogolist. Im seeing him Oct 1 until then i have been taking pictures (im getting smart now) to have evidence that way he believes me about the other stuff i cant prove. I would like some ideas that maybe my symptoms would strike out to you guys. Something i can suggest to my doctor...or even just check it out myself. Here are my symptoms
Swelling in my hands and feet
Loss of appitete/ extreme weight loss...people think im anorexic...im not..i went from 127 pounds to 117 in less than a month, and its getting worse
Consistent low grade fever...99/100
dizziness/lightheadness
extreme exhaustion ..i can barely get up to go to the bathroom
difficulty urinating..urinate once a day
extreme joint pain/muscle pain (feels like the flu body aches x10 everyday!
visual disturbances (2/3 black dots in my left eye)
extreme naseua/vomiting..i had to leave work i vomit four times in 1 hour
2 or 3 migranes a week
sometimes brain fog/confusion especially with the horrible joint pain/and exhaustion
anemia
weird blood pressure..my norm is 118/65 it is now around 105/82
productive cough...white/yellowish mucus
6 large lumps on chest (was told they were the joints between my ribs)
4 swollen lymph nodes on my neck on each side
a painless hard bump on the roof of my mouth
diarrehea
extreme throbbing in my lower left back almost between my spine and my side..the pain travels to my whole side and my lower back this pain comes and goes
Reynolds phenuneum (fingers turn blue/numb even if not really cold)
burning stomach
hair loss (i actually have bald spots)
tested negative for lymes disease, arthritis (though can have a false negative according to doc), diabetes, normal white blood cell count/red blood cell count
Im a 22 year old female with no history of family illness except cancer..which i can rule out cuz of the normal white blood cell count and red blood cell count
I never had all these symptoms since they started two years ago...but now its getting worse...it seems as time goes by they gradually get worse and pop up.
Sorry this is soo long
thanks for your time

The first thing that comes to my mind is lead poisoning. What kind of dishes are you eating off of? If they are imported, they might have lead in them.

A coffee mug?

Sometimes Rheumies can figure a list like that out.
