Does This Sound At All Familiar? Posted: 07-06-07 17:11pm
I'm posting this is several places because
it could be several things- immune
disorders definitely keep popping up in my
research though. could anybody tell me if
this sounds at all familiar to them?
here's whats happening: I had a baby
almost four months ago now. before that i
was fine( except for being constantly
pregnant most of the last three years)now
here's my list of symptoms: itching for no
reason -especially my hands and feet, the
worst spot is the space between my thumb
and forefinger- I've scratched until it
bled. i'm always in pain. muscle, joint,
and bones. it's everywhere- never at once.
it just kinda makes it's way around- but
my hands are the worst. they ache
constantly. i've had a low grade fever(mid
99's) for three months. I'm bruising way
too easily( I'm fairly dark skinned- this
is not normal for me, and I've been taking
a pre-natal for years now- I shouldn't be
deficient in anything). very recently
petechea have also started popping up-
nothing dramatic, but I'm young, and have
always been healthy- it is unusual. I'm
still waiting on blood work to see if I am
actually anemic. my skin hurts badly. it
burns, feels bruised, tender to the touch,
feels stiff- again not everywhere at once,
and it comes and goes- worst on my hands,
and forearms( which are also regularly
covered in a small fine rash that comes
and goes.) this is honestly the first rash
I've had since i had the chicken pox when
I was 2. I have electrical shock like
pains all over but has diminished somewhat
lately. my hair is falling out( this is
more then hormonal). severe back pain, and
an incredibly stiff neck and shoulders.
all sorts of skin spots. little red spots
on my hands, patches of dry skin on my
shoulders, red purple splotches on my feet
that come and go, again nothing dramatic,
but still unusual. muscle exhaustion- my
arms and legs feel heavy all the time and
fall asleep very easily. crampy stomach-
no vomiting though. horrible headaches-
they come on super strong, sometimes feel
just immense pressure, sometimes like
ice-picks, but only last for seconds
several times a day. my eyes hurt, ache,
and are always mildly bloodshot( i get
plenty of sleep). constant muscle spasms,
and cramps- one charlie horse lasted the
entire day. i have a swollen spot on one
foot right below the ankle- for no reason,
and just recently have been having a lot
og pain in my pelvis as well. theres other
little things, and better ways of
explaining these but thats a start. could
anybody tell me if this sounds at all
familiar to them. I've had a clear head
mri, a clear chest x-ray. trust me on
this-it would be impossible to have an
STD, bloodwork on thyroid, lymes, and any
virus you can think of all came back
clear. rheumatoid factor was borderline,
but there was no inflammation( as of a
month ago). I know this is long, but any
feedback would be appreciated.
What did your blood work said especially
blood count, sedimentation rate, CRP...?
Do you still have the same symptoms?

Coffeegirl,
Have you been around or encountered MOLD
??
You might want to google Mold symptoms. I
can give you some links via a pm if you
would like them. Dr. Richard Shoemaker is
a google topic, he has done extensive work
in this area.
