I havent heard of there symptoms but i am sorry its something your daughter has to go through. Seeing a Dr would be my recommendation however i can see you have been to numerous.

Good Luck

I assume she has unexplained low blood pressure?

Low bp can be from a number of things very hard to cover all with so little info on your daughter. Have the docs checked her thyroid ie tsh, t-4, and free t-3 levels --were they at the low end of normal?

Low bp can result from shock, very few doctors are aware that food sensitivities can result in shock and lower bp. Get a blood pressure cuff i prefer the omron available at walmart, and stay setting with some one helping start testing different foods one at a time leaving 45 minutes between. Take a control (starter) reading, eat test food, wait 30 to 45 minutes and check bp for a change. The most likely culprit is a favorite food or one that is craved. Once you find offending food just eliminate it permanently. Two or three grams of vitamin C can help relief symptoms it acts as an anti-histamine.

If this does not help find cause, seek out a Naturopath trained at a four year on site university. Our families favorite is Dr. Ian Nesbit in Missoula Montana.

Good luck and God bless!

This has all been addressed, but thank you for your info.

Has she tried a low physiological dose of t-3 the active form of thyroid hormone? Dr. Denis Wilson wrote a book on reverse t-3, in essense not all t-3
is created the same, in chemistry there is a term for this, but i'll save you the details. Normal lab tests won't distinguish the difference and will show everything in normal range, however reverse form is not active in the body. Does she exhibit other signs of low thyroid function?

The naturopath that I previously suggested teaches physiology at the college in missoula, he might be a worth a try.

God bless your efforts!

Sounds like a lot of sympoms of Addison's Diesease:
------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------
Signs and symptoms
Signs and symptoms of Addison's disease usually develop slowly, often over several months, and may include:

Muscle weakness and fatigue
Weight loss and decreased appetite
Darkening of your skin (hyperpigmentation)
Low blood pressure, even fainting
Salt craving
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia)
Nausea, diarrhea or vomiting
Irritability
Depression
Sometimes, however, the signs and symptoms of Addison's disease may appear suddenly. In acute adrenal failure (addisonian crisis), the signs and symptoms may also include:

Pain in your lower back, abdomen or legs
Severe vomiting and diarrhea, leading to dehydration
Low blood pressure
Loss of consciousness
------------------------------------------ -----
Just a thought.

Thank you all for your input. Unfortunatly all of the items you mentioned have been checked. Thanks again

hi jeaniet i m new to this forum, i read your post , i was wondering if there is any new situation for the case?

She has a new symptom now. She has weakness in her legs mid-thigh on down. She will be walking or standing and she will have to stop and sit down even if it is on the floor or street they will not hold her up. Dr. is now going to do CT scan of her spine. Nothing new other than that.

I'm so sorry for your daughter and yourself for going through this! However, I was wondering what her first symtoms were? How did it all start? Thanks
