Q: Tired and feeling of fullness ...
asked by: help4me on June 16th, 2009

I am a very active and healthy 27 year old; I run just about everyday (30 min or more) and eat healthier then the general 27 year old. However I keep having the following issues, however some are new. I have been crabby, tired even after a good nights sleep, have a feeling of fullness in my lower abdomen after eating, bloating in the lower abdomen, (new) a taste of onion even without eating onion, a cold sore just popped up, weightgain, swollen ankles everyday, and pain in my lowe back, loss of sensation during intercourse, and lessend desire for intercourse. I can become out of breath walking up stairs. I can also have a few drinks and while everyone else needs to use the rest room, I do not.

I have also had the following issue with in the past month: one night I was at a friends house had a few cocktails, and as I stood up to leave it was as if someone flipped a switch. I could not walk strait, I threw up and remember it being almost like applesauce consiancey and pink. I do not remember anything after that. I have had the same amount to drink before and have never responded that way.

my medical history would include a serious UTI, that presented with no symptoms, I have never had major surgey,only had a mole removed a year ago that was precancer. My last two paps came back abnormal. I have had one child, no complications. No other medical issues that are known. Only meds are the nuva ring.

You need a full medical work-up. Blood tests for hormone levels, toxins, everything. I don't know of a specialist you can go to right now, not without narrowing down the possible cause.

My advice: make an appointment with your doctor like yesterday! Write down every single one of your symptoms, when they started, how severe they are, and what you were doing at the time or shortly before (tell the doctor about the drinking and everything that happened--if you hide anything, the doctor may miss something important). Be as specific as you can. Take the list to your doctor appointment. Also, make a list of all your questions and have the doctor answer them--although he may not be able to answer everything without the test results, but make sure he does at some point.

Is it possible that at the party at your friends house that someone put something in your drink? If not for all of the other symptoms, that would be my first guess. If there is a possibility, then it could be unrelated.

One more thing: with these symptoms, why haven't you gone to a doctor already--you have a child to think about. You have to take care of yourself. Your child needs you.

I really hope you find out what's wrong very soon. Good luck.

I have gone to docs.for this. I went to my gyno first (as the bloating and such is a sign of uterian cancer)..nothing. When to a gastro guy who told me that I was constipated and to take some laxitives. So i did and when I told them nothing came out after two rounds they took and xray and found nothing. they told me to just make sure I keep my fiber intake high. So I have. Then did do blood work and everything came back fine. I also had blook work done after that and everthing came back fine. The only elevation was on Iron.

It is very very unlikley that someone put something in my drink. I was with my boyfriend and the people there all have kids them selves and are respectiable. Plus I was the once pouring my drinks.

The other problem is this..I have no health insurance.(expect for family planning so I can receive birth control). Where I work, if you work less then 30 hrs you do not qualify; i work 29. My short term major medical just ran out and that would not have covered anything anyway.
