Q: Does Anyone Get These Symptoms? Can Any One Please Help?!!!

Hiya im a 30 yr old female and over the last 1 yr and a half ive been suffering symptoms which are getting worse!!!!
Does this sound like diabetes-
>feel tired all the time
>go to the toilet more than most people though I dont really seem to drink loads
>my legs generally feel heavy and if I do anything strenuous (this can be anything from going upstairs and also when I have sex) I get a pressure in my head and feel really off balance
>i can experience shaking and cold sweaty palms without warning this has happened a few times in clubs and the cinema even when ive not drunk any alcohol and I dont take drugs
>i also get re occuring rashes ( usually every day) on my arms and legs which are slightly raised but dont itch unless I scratch them
>my stomach is always bloated round the waist and ive beeen suffering from really bad wind and constipation

does any body else recognise or have any symptoms similar to these, I keep going to the doctors but feel like im not being listened 2!!!!!!
My condition seemed to have worsened since I came out of hospital with athesma while I was in there I was given a steroid injection (hydro cortizone?) which I had an allergic reaction to.
If anyone can offer any kind of help it would be greatly appreciated as the situation is really beginning to get me down- I cant do anything I used to be able to!! Thanks.

Hi, why have you waited for a year and a half before going to the doctor and getting a check up? Whatever you have wrong with you will only get worse if you continue this way. Two of your symptoms could be diabetes related, going to the bathroom friquently and being tired all the time, being really thisty is another. Why don,t you go to the doctor? A simple blood test will tell whether you are diabetic or not and you also need your other symptoms addressed, ignoring them won,t make them go away, they will just get worse. Good luck sharon

Like gram said what are you waiting for, the red flag. Go get checked tell your Dr. And he/she will know what test to run. Waiting to long can cause bad side effects. Take care of # one and that is you.

The legs or arms feeling heavy is also a sign of diabetes. Mine would feel like I was dragging concrete blocks. The shakiness could be from going low. I would check it out.
