I just found your website. Have you researched fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome? I have both and your symptoms sound like me. I know what it is like to go to doctor after doctor feeling like it was “all in my head.”

Colleen nailed it, I think. And I’m also thinking sugar/insulin problems?

I hope it’s nothing too serious. Just keep us posted and don’t dwell on it, hon! Love you!

I just…ugh…can’t relate more. And, I sit here, thinking it’s my own kind of crazy, that no one understands what I am trying to explain to them that is happening to me..inside my head and my body.

I hope you get answers. It’s lonely and scary without them.

I haven’t read the comments, but I’m almost sure someone must have mentioned your thyroid.

And even if your TSH is “in the normal range” ask them to do a TPO antibody test. I won’t leave my whole life story here, but email me if you want more info.

I spent 3 years figuring out what was wrong with my husband. He hurt so bad he couldn’t figure it out. None of the symptons you have, but the process is the same. Do your research (goodness knows you know how to do that on the internet!!), and don’t give up until you feel better. You HAVE to find a good GP that you trust. Who is not afraid to refer you to a specialist. That is what helped us the most. And don’t give up. We had to try a bunch of different things to eliminate the obvious and easy before we finally got to a diagnosis. It was not easy. And is still not easy. But we know what is going on, and can work around it. You have to be your own advocate. Or if you can’t, Jared needs to. Doesn’t sound like you are at that point, though. Good luck, and don’t give up. It’s not an easy process.

A good doctor, the RIGHT doctor, will not think your words sound crazy. At all.

Will be waiting to hear what it is… and hoping it is something easily treated.

I’ve been down that depression road before, too many times.

I hope whatever is wrong it will be an easy fix and you start feeling better soon! Let us know as soon as you find out, k?

I hope that whatever you learn at the doctor is as okay, or at least as manageable, as possible.

Take care of yourself. And don’t worry about feeling normal. Just work on feeling the right kind of abnormal.
