View 1 RepliesCould It Be Secondary Raynaud's?
I was diagnosed with raynaud's back in 2010, but have suffered for about 7 yrs - I'm currently 36. I suffer with typical raynaud's in my hands & feet, they get cold whether it's been outdoors to walking in the fridge isle of a supermarket to holding cold cutlery and now even when I get out of the bath/shower. Back in 2010 my bloods tested positive for the antinuclear factor, so it suggested I had a connective tissue disorder, but with no other symptoms other than raynaud's was left as that. However, I've recently started getting pain in my finger joints - the pain is unrelated to when I have a raynaud's attack. I've been referred for further bloods & X-rays. Anyone else suffer with secondary or similar to my symptoms?

View 1 RepliesVertigo :: Bouts Of Dizziness While Resting
I went to see my GP this week because over the last couple of weeks I was getting bouts of dizziness while resting (I can describe them as a swaying sensation) which comes and goes. I also have frontal headaches with this, the sort that you get when you are subject to bright light. I have been prescribed some tablets which I have to take 3 times a day so I hope that these tablets will clear the problem. I am also going to the opticians on thursday just to double check it's nothing to do with vision problems. I have scared myself today as I have googled frontal headaches and it comes up with brain tumour.
View 3 RepliesMultiple Sclerosis :: Bouts Of Fatigue And Tiredness
Diagnosed with MS almost 2 years ago. Been on Tecfidera for over a year. I'm having such a bout with fatigue that I just want to go to bed and not wake up. EVER. I feel a ton worse now then I did when I was diagnosed ( which happened quickly at an ER visit and then confirmed 3 weeks later).
I am not depressed, never have been and have always had a positive attitude about my disease. I do not feel sad, I am simply....T.I.R.E.D!
I had a brain MRI and lab work and everything is unchanged. While I am happy to hear this, I wonder how I can feel so crappy yet not be in a relapse. Every symptom I've ever gotten has NEVER left, I mean seriously never.
Is this really all there is in my life? Going through each day staggering around like a drunk, stiff, uncoordinated, blurry vision, feeling confused, and not being able to keep my eyes open? Elderly people pass me by when I am walking. WTH?
I am taking Ritalin for my fatigue and it was helping for a few weeks, but now I don't know why I even take it. On Christmas Day I hosted a dinner for friends. I rested as much as I could throughout the day. I curled my hair, which is just past my shoulders - it didn't take long to do, but I had to take a nap after that before I could start cooking. Really? Who needs a nap after curling their hair?

Sertraline And PTSD - Bouts Of Anxiety For A Couple Of Days
I have PTSD and have been struggling lately. My Dr prescribed me Sertraline about 7 weeks ago. I started on 25mg and have increased to 50mg.
Initially I had a few wobbles but persevered and feel so much better generally. The problem is that I feel pretty good then will suddenly drop and feel anxious for a couple of days. I feel shaky and as if I'm having internal tremors. I felt like this before the tablets too.
Another problem is that I'm already only a UK size 6. I have bowel disease and struggle to maintain a healthy weight. Now I've dropped half a stone again so only weigh 8 stone and I'm 5 foot 7.
The last 2 days I've felt 'nervy' again.
Trimethoprim :: Difficulty Walking, Bouts Of Vertigo, Severe Pain In Fingers
Prescribed Trimethoprim for a UTI but after a few days started having difficulty walking, bouts of Vertigo, severe pain in fingers of right hand and thumb on left hand. Very severe pains in left foot just forward of the heel for five days. Swelling of both feet and ankles. Very severe itching around my belt line. The vertigo attacks were very bad and frightening when they occurred. I stopped taking the tablets after taking the first of a second lot. I have had a note added to my medical records informing I have never to be prescribed Trimethoprim ever again.
View 1 RepliesPerimenopause - Dizziness, Bouts Of Vertigo, Vision Getting Worse, Hair Loss
I'm 47. Have had PCOS since I was 13. No kids due to infertility, most likely caused by PCOS. OK, now onto the joy of being me part.
Been sick for over 20 years with various and sundry health issues, i.e, Lyme, Epstein-Barr, adrenal fatigue, MTHFR, etc. to name a few, but the last year or so I'm feeling sooooo much worse. Never had PMS, and now I get cramps a few days before the witch shows up. When she does show up, before when she would show up, she would last 5 or so days. Now she hits hard and fast, heavy for a days or so and then stops on day 2 or 3. Digestion has been horrible. I have so much gas and bloating in my upper stomach that I could power a small city and it's very uncomfortable. Total carb and sugar intolerance. My doc thinks it could be a bacterial infection called SIBO, but after reading everyone's symptoms here, it makes me wonder if it is Peri related. The worst anxiety and panic attacks of my life that hit out of nowhere, even when I am not worrying about stuff. Heart palps galore and according to numerous docs and tests, my heart is fine. Reflux. Overweight and can't lose weight. Emotional instability of a newborn. My mom died a few months ago and while I know grief can be at play, I can cry just watching a commercial. Dizziness, bouts of vertigo, vision getting worse, hair loss more than usual, chapped lips and back of hands, 0 and I mean ZERO sex drive. I almost feel repulsed by the idea. Luckily I have an incredibly understanding husband. Muscle and joint pain. Zero motivation to do anything. I am an incredibly creative person and have lost all my passions in and for life. Bone crushing fatigue. Sometimes wake up feeling like I'm trembling inside. Frequent waking up in the middle of the night.
These are the primary symptoms, though there are others. It's hard for me to tell which of these are Peri related and which are due to the other issues. I had a bunch of labs done in May and all my hormones were normal, including extensive thyroid testing. Can you be Peri and have normal labs? Very confused and ******. This crap is ruining my life. I can't even drive anymore due to the anxiety and dizziness and thus feel trapped in my house. I need to get this fixed as soon as possible. My doc thinks I am Peri and says we will work on it, but is trying to detox some of my other issues first.
You Do Not Die Of Parkinson You Die With It? Confusing
Many professionals and the charity PD uk sat that you do not die of PD you die with it...BUT The world Health Organisation receive statistica from the UK about the Number of Deaths Caused By PD in the UK...PD is one of the leading causes of deaths in the UK... I haved PD and suffer from anxiety but it occurs to me on a regular basis that the lack of knowledge and information that is presented to us by a community of experts that all disagree is causing more confusion not only for the sufferers of pd , the public also find the whole thing a non starter. It is an illness for which there are no clear up to date definition and is therefore just seen an old person's shaking complaint
