Hi, I have not been well for some time now. I have several symptoms and I’m not sure if they are related, or there is more than one thing going on. My previous GP was AWFUL. I feel that no one can give me an answer as to what is going on. I will list my symptoms:
Severe lower back muscle pain, hips, and legs: I suffered from pelvic arthropathy when I was pregnant with my son (born March 2013), the severe pain in my pelvis is gone but I still cannot get through the day without taking painkillers for my back, my hips click when I move and the pain radiates into my legs and feet. It feels like all the muscles from my lower back, legs and feet are constantly cramping. I am so sore everyday. I have had an x-ray, which showed nothing.
Chronic diarrhoea: I have suffered this for approx 3years. Since this began I have to take a full box of anti-diarrhoea tablets everyday, this does not stop me going, it just makes my Poos soft and not watery. If I do not take the tablets, I cannot control my bowels. I have had a colonoscopy, biopsy and small intestine dye test, these were all normal.
My inflammatory markers in my bloods have been raised for 4+ years.
My sleep pattern is from one extreme to the other, I either suffer from insomnia for weeks on end or I can’t stay awake and very fatigued for weeks on end.
I believe I suffer from a condition call Hidradenitis Supparitiva.
I have had a significant weight gain when I was pregnant (2012-2013) and there after(I went from being 8st to 15st. I have managed to get my weight down to 13st 3lb however I can’t seem to shift anymore. I am 5’2. I do not have a big appetite and can only eat small amounts. What I eat does not justify my weight.
My bloods all appear to be normal, apart from my inflammatory markers.
I feel that noone wants to find out what is wrong and drs are making me feel like it’s all in my head, it’s not. I just want to know what is wrong.
I would really appreciate any help or advise you could give me. I am female and 27years ild. Thankyou.
hi dear
i understand your concern and believe that its not in your head and definitely something’s wrong. The diagnosis that you made of Hidradenitis Supparitiva, is to some extent corect, but you do not have all its symptoms. your symptoms are multi organ based,and you should take symptomatic treatment as and when needed. doing exercises,meditation and yoga can help.
thanks
HI
U HAVE MULTI SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT INVOLVING DISTURBANCES IN NORMAL FUNCTIONING OF THOSE BODY ORGANS. THIS MAY BE DUE GENERALISED HORMONAL BLOOD VARIATIONS. EACH OF THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE TACKLED DIFFERENTLY
