Hey. i'm an 18 year old male and have
suffered from chronic fatigue for 8 years
as a result of getting glandular fever
which branched off into something else
(can't remember it's name now, lymphatic
something syndrome)
New symtoms have arisen that just won't go
away and are getting worse every day. and
i just don't know what to do anymore.
The doctors here are pathetically
hopeless. They have seen me so many times
when i see them again they just basically
tell me to go home
I've had so many blood tests i've lost
count, and nothing has ever turned up on
them.
My symptoms are:
* I feel extreamly weak all of the time,
especially in the morning.
* I feel kinda like i always have a cold
* I am constantly tired and lethargic
* When i wake up i'm never refreshed, i
feel more tired then when i went to
sleep.
* I cannot concentrate during the day at
all
* i feel heavily depressed.
* I feel a very heavy weight on my chest
sometimes, like my chest is being crushed
* sometimes the left side of my chest will
get short sharp pains for no apparent
reason
* sometimes also i get a burning feeling
behind my eyes and i can smell smoke when
i breathe out, even though there's no
smoke near me?
* I have begun to loose my apatite, i just
don't feel hungry and i eat less when i do
eat. I have tried to force myself to eat
but it's not helping.
* I also feel like i'm getting panic
attacks, i become very fidgety and cannot
sit still at all and have to do breathing
exercises to calm myself down.
* The past week i have developed a new
symptom also. i can feel a tearing like
feeling just below my ribs sometimes.
The doc told me it is all just stress, the
only thing i can think of is being
stressed about feeling like this, but if
that's the case then there's no way out of
this loop that i can think of
Any help would be appreciated.
I have been told to just get out and do
exersize and ignore it all. But that makes
me feel even worse, and ignoring them
doesn't work for long.
I spend alot of my time inside on the
computer, i'm wondering if it would be a
good idea to get a air purifier+oinizer
too? And hope that may do some good.
Thanks
