Hey all, just looking for some opinions with ongoing problems that stretch 2 years now from onset.
I began my long list of symptoms with headaches around my sinus/eyes area which started september 2012, these were constant low grade tired like headaches that were not relieved by any painkillers, I remember the initial onset lasting 12 weeks solid and I also felt like I had brain fog/dizziness during this time.
It is quite hard to remember after that the order in which other symptoms and sensations appeared but here are the list off the top of my head:
Headaches: come and go over the past 2 years but when here remain so for a number of weeks.
Eye ache/pain/fatigue
Brain Fog
Lightheadedness
Dizziness
Increased Saliva
Increased Sweating: which seems to be due to intolerance to heat.
Night Sweating: same as above.
Burning Sensations in my hands and feet
Tingling skin
Itching
Pins and Needles: mainly at night and of my hands when sleeping in one postions for 20-30 mins
Speech problems: like saying the wrong word at times.
Memory Problems: sometimes being forgetfull, like not remembering my bank card pin code.
Increased Allergies: I either take anti-histmine or deal with allergy symptoms all year round.
Unstable Blood Pressure: since around Feb 2014 has been unstable like going from 140/90 to 165/115.
Sleep Disturbance: Difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep.
Hot Flushes
Fatigue
Some of these symptoms come and go and do not seem constant.
Feb 2014 I developed further headaches and dizziness which lasted around 2-3 weeks, I was given Co-Dydramol by my Doc which did not really cure the headache, I also at this time developed red hot flushing of my face/neck/chest which was dry flushing and lasted hours/days at a time.
My blood pressure was checked at the Docs office and it was 165/119 or something around that level, I was made to home test for a few days and then placed on an ACE Inhibitor which did nothing to lower my BP and then was given a Beta Blocker which lowered both my bp and heart rate. (my heart rate was never elevated above 72 when my bp was that high, on the beta blocker my heart rate was 40-50)
I began to develop fatigue while on the beta blocker, a fatigue I have never experienced before, some days I was struggling to walk for 5 mins around to the local shop, I usually cycle everywhere and had no problems cycling uphill prior to this fatigue starting and found I could also not cycle uphill I actually forced myself to do so on one occasion and had major muscular thigh pain for around 1 week after. I was told by my doc I had some form of Myalgia (sp?) Indeed cycling is still an effort on any level of surface still now.
I took myself off the beta blocker and ace inhibitor because I believed they were causing the fatigue, but its not really improved since, some days are better then others but over the past week I have again been exhausted.
I have had many lab tests done but I wont bore you all with the numerous normal results that have come back, the only abnormal test results are Serum Vit B12 - which has tested too high on 3 different tests and Serum Immunoglobin A (igA)
Ruled Out:
Luekemia
Lymphoma
Diabetes
Coeliac Disease
Thyroid
Cushings Syndrome
Phaochromocytoma
Anemia
Liver Disease
Kidney Problems
My docs refuse to chase up the high b12 any further, I know it should not be high like it is and I did not take any vitamins at that point in time, the only vits I take currently are:
Magnesium 250mg: which seems to ahve stopped my headaches since starting that 3 months ago,
D3 - 2000iu
Vit C 1mg
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers
