What is my Medical Condition?
First let me say that I don’t really believe in taking medicine. I’ve been always focusing on healing myself through herbs and natural things. I researched everything I can do for myself to limit the pain. I take vitamins. I eat healthy. I work out when I can bare it. It was hard at first to have to will power to adjust to this lifestyle at such a young age, but I got it under control now. I don’t do drugs and only drink on special occasions. I’m 20 years old and struggling with fibromayaliga, or what they think I have, but I think I have something that I don’t know about, and it’s been bothering me a lot. The main thing that worried me lately is that my right eye the skin above my eyebrow is slowly overtime sagging. Now, I know that sounds silly, but I’ve known my face for as long as I can remember, and I definitely see a change. A fact that you should know that I think might have something to so with this is ..when I was 15 I was hit in the face with a softball during a game I was playing and I fractured the bone below my eye. I guess would be called the cheek bone. I was tested for pretty much everything that go along with these symptoms. I don’t take any medication. I’m not worried about the pain at this point. I am worried about what medical condition I really have. To me I can’t except the fact that I only have Fibromayaliga. Anyways hear are a list of my symptoms. My symptoms: TMJ Horrible Gas pain Muscle spasms Joint, muscle and bone pain. Cracking of joints I use to have 20/20 Vision but now I feel like that’s changed Constant headaches Random light headedness Anemia Ringing in ears Face pain Stiffness Anxiety attacks toe numbness loss of some hair Bruise easily loss of weight This is the gist of the symptoms. At first I thought I might of had Lyme. They tested me twice and the results both came back negative. Still kind of convinced I have it. Can some one please feed me with some knowledgeable information, and please no negative feed back. Thanks.
You must persist. Sounds as if you are on to something, and I saw the same show. I can’t remember how long it took, but the Lyme tests only come back positive at certain points in the course of the disease. But…. I have to say that almost every symptom you list does also point to fibromyalgia…. and a LOT of the symptoms often accompany anxiety and/or panic attacks. I wish the best for you. Try and be patient, persist, insist on tests and try some relaxation techniques. Honestly, regardless of what it is… you are going to need to learn to relax and put the least amount of stress on your body and mind as possible. Peace.
I’ve seen a program on Discovery Health that was about a girl who had Lyme disease. The doctors spent a lot of time trying to figure out her disease AND they tested her for Lyme at least twice but still could not figure it out. In the end, it turned out to be: LYME’S. Basically I’m trying to say that Lyme disease is hard to test for, and you may need many tests to get a positive result.
When did these symptoms start? That might give you a clue as to whether it is fibromyalgia or actually Lyme’s. The best thing is to trust your own intuition, and if your doctor isn’t helping you, consider changing doctors.
Hope this helped!
