I am at my wits end with my health. I'm so upset, depressed, and worried about it that I never leave my house anymore except for work. Here's my story......

During the summer I started noticing I was fatigued and it got harder and harder to wake up in the morning. I was constantly feeling lightheaded, brain fog, and an inability to concentrate. Sometime around sept. I started noticing some blood and a little bit of mucous in my stool. I panicked. I started self medicating myself with some year old penicillin v 500 mg tablets for over a week. I knew that wasn't smart so I decided to go see my doc. He asked me about my symptoms, I explained I had also been feeling fatigued, bloated alot, my skin felt different and my hair was starting to thin. He said I needed to de-stress. After an inspection he discovered an internal hemorrhoid. He prescribed me with some suppositories (which I wasn't very faithful to) and told me to start drinking metamucil and senekot.

Later in september I went out drinking one night with friends. I woke up the next morning feeling nauseas and hungover. A few days went by after that and I noticed that the nausea was still there and I still felt like crap. I was feeling a strange discomfort in my left midsection regularly. I ended up going to a wedding that month as well and spent the entire night lightheaded, warm, ready to pass out, and feeling a major discomfort in the stomach pancreatic region. In oct., went back to the doc with the symptoms, he ran a cbc which came out completely normal. My ana came out negative and my allergin test showed only a slight allergy to milk so slight my doc said it barely turned up.

I was still feeling like hell. I noticed my eyes started getting irritated looking, they felt dry, there was alot of pressure behind them and my vision started to blur (especially at night). I was getting alot of headaches. I still had that nausea going on. My neck felt strained all the time. The padding on my big right toe started feeling numb. I read up on diabates, thryoid problems and pancreatitis and decided to revisit the doc about them on nov. 5th. He told me that my glucose levels were fine so it couldn't be diabetes. I told him I wanted to do a thryoid panel because I felt so familiar with the symptoms I had read. He did and the results from nov.5th were:
tsh 3.289 (limits 0.350-5.500)
thyroxine t4 4.4 (limits 4.5-12.0)
t3 uptake 37 (limits 24-39)
free thyroxine index 1.6 (limits 1.2-4.9)
sedimentation rate-westergren 0 (limits 0-15)
amylase, serum 74 (limits 0-99)
lipase, serum 32 (limits 0-59)
thyroid peroxidase (tpo) ab 17 (limits 0-34)

my doc was like "well it looks like you were right, your t4 is a little low." he prescribed me .025mg's of levothyroxine, but took more blood to do a deeper panel. I took the levo for nearly a week, felt a little bit better, still a little nauseas, but I noticed my tongue became noticeably swelled and my throat kind of hurt. On nov. 12th my doc got back the results from the second panel and he had his nurse call me to tell me to stop taking the medication. So I stopped. The results were:
tsh 2.3 (limits 0.350-5.500)
thyroxine t4 5.4 (limits 4.5-12.0)
t3 uptake 38 (limits 24-39)
free thyroxine index 2.1 (limits 1.2-4.9)
thyroid peroxidase (tpo) ab 15 (limits 0-34)
antithyroglobulin ab <20 (limits 0-40)

people on other medical boards i'm a member of have told me i'm clearly hypothyroid. Throughout all of this my doc has seemed genuinely uninterested in what's going on and I just don't feel confident in what he's doing to help me out. Since that nov. 12th visit i've still felt like complete turd. Muscles cramp alot in the morning, joints clicking all the time. My bouts with nausea continue. Eyes still bothering me. I came home from work one evening with a massive headache, felt warm, and my groin and right testicle felt painful. Since then the testicle pain has persisted. The back of my head around the lower base still feels full on a consistent basis. My neck still feels strained and is constantly tight. My ears ache at times.

I'm a flippin' mess and i'm so depressed about it. I'm a 26 year old male. I'm 5'11 and weight 162 lbs. I work in the restaurant biz waiting tables. I'm up on my feet all day long working a tremendous amount of hours. My eatings habits have been extremely erradic, maybe 2 to 3 meals a day. For a long string of months I was getting next to no sleep, sometimes feeling insomniac, other nights staying out too late. I was drinking quite a bit with friends, we'd be out every fri-sat-sun night. We also had a tendency to binge drink. I remember thinking a while back that my body was starting to break down from the cycle of stressful work, no sleep, bad eating, and drinking too much. Stress has been my enemy for quite some time as well. If you were to rank me on a stress scale of 1 to 10, i'd be a 15. The past 9 months of my life have been absolutely brutal and it doesn't help that i've been privately battling depression and anxiety problems over the past few years.

I should note that I still tried to maintain a workout from march thru september. I remembered seeing a report on hyponeutremia on hbo's real sports where they indicated that drinking too much water can be harmful. I remember that during my workouts (3 to 4 days a week) i'd compulsively drink from my gigantic water jug i'd bring with my to the gym. I swear I went through 3 or 4 refills in a one hour's workout. After those workouts i'd be peeing all night long.

I also started developing a strange craving for sugar around the summer time. My diet had changed in a sense that I was now eating breakfasts every morning (which I had never done for years), but I was craving sweets after every meal. I've never been a sweets guy, not since I was a child. It got to the point where I was like "bro, you've had enough sweets for one day.

Sorry for boring you all with this. I just don't know what to do.

Somebody had recommended I look into candida albicanus (yeast). They told me to stop eating pastas, breads, and sugars and start get an a live-cultured bacterial regimen. I started taking biok's 50 billion strain acidophilus. I noticed right away my skin started feeling and looking so much better. My hair stopped the thinning and it had it's moisture back to it. But those are the only improvements i've seen.
