Hiya all x x
I'm 27 yo female, i haven't been well for about 6 years,My dr doesn't seem that bothered to help me but i understand he has alot of patients to see, so he probably won't have time to piece all my symptoms together.
my main symptoms are fatigue ( i have a sleep every day), malaise (as thou i have the flu), sometimes every muscle in my body hurts as though i have ran a marathon i think its called myalgia??, at the minute i'm getting lots of mouth ulcers the ones under my tongue hurt the most!! dry mouth and lips especially in the morning i've starting putting vaseline beside my bed as my lips keep cracking. i feel as though i have bad joints which includes ankles knees and hips, very bad backs and sleep paralysis. It usually comes in flares and when i have a flare up i'm in pain and generally end up on the sofa.
I have had a total of 7 pregnancies, 3 of which ended in miscarriage, My last pregnancy i developed pre eclampsia which is apparently not a common as it is usually your 1st? i also ended up with post pre eclampsia and was ion blood pressure meds for about 4 months, my urea was also high for about 4 months after the birth.after my last 2 caesareans i also had wound infections and celulitious
I went to see my doctor about it all about a year ago and he done a blood test for thyroid which came back clear so he said i had chronic fatigue syndrome, he gave me anti depressants which gave me sore heads, so he changed me to anafranil (for narcolepsy ) which made me extreemly drowsy to the point i couldn't function at all!
So for now i'm just managing, i'm always at the doctors for one thing or another and i'm starting to feel like a hypocondriac so i don't know whether I will be annoying him if i go back to see him .
I'm sorry for the long post but i just know something aint right, i feel about 80 and it's really effecting my mood, i have no support from family as they cannot feel how i feel when i have a flare up. and it just gets so frustrating and upsetting
