Basicly; I've been coming down with every illness under the sun. I've had swolen glands etc. Now my pains are getting worse, my Migranes are so painfull I can't even move at times. I've been fainiting, and I have a heavy eye affect although Im not tired because Im sleeping the same I have done for years. I have pains in my hand-mainly left. My hand feels numb & Sometimes will look off colour/yellow tinted and my vains will pop up. Then other time it'll be the right. I've also got a tightness in the face on odd ocassions, along with what looks like white dots/ one big red spot on my breast. I feel sick especcially at night, my stomach feels bloated and looks like I have a beer belly although I'm losing wieght and I don't drink. Also I have a white discharge where my period should be, I though of pregancy, but i have had my period, well it lasts for a day then goes. I also have a burning feeling in the back of my throat, and it feels tight, and sometimes I'll get pains in my chest, which will come and go within about two mins. Almost like heart burn or intergestion.
I have been to the doctor with alot of these and she has refered me to a Neoursurgen, but thats going to be months. Plus I dont really wanna go to a doctor with symptoms this long lol
Any ideas? xD

Hi Emily! I am thinking along the lines of a Thyroid problem or something in the lupus family! I know this sounds like a silly question BUT it's an important one actually! How is your hair lately?
A little drier than normal but okay?!
I've just been diagnosed with glandular fever, pending results. Because my tonsils are now about 4 times the size they should be and white, its causing difficulty in breathing. ;S I went to the docs on Tue with my throat but tbh I dont think my doc has any idea.
Im also having pains just above my left breat more reguually aswell now.
I have no idea lol.
It's such a long list :L

I am even more leaning towards Thyroid! Just ask for the following tests OK?
1. TSH, T4, T3
2. ANA test
3. CBC test
These should give a clearer picture of whats going on with you! IF you take control and ask for things, sometimes it sets of a light in the doctors head!

I'm only 17 and I've been in and out of there so often they won't listen to me, what if I go to another doctor and ask them?
Definitely! If you go prepared - but not overly confident - if you know what I mean? Then they can tick off the things that have already been done! What you say is this , I have been feeling very lethargic, swollen glands, numbness in my hands, bloating, overall weight loss and intermittant periods! Also just say "And i don't know if this has anything to do with what is going on, but my hair has been really dry since all of this has happened" "Someone mentioned to me about my thyroid, but I don't know, what do you think?" This is the best way to get a test along those lines! If you go in and say "I KNOW it's this and I want you to do this and this" They can get their backs up, especially if they are starting to rule that you might be hypochondriac - which I think they are leaning towards! So only write down what is important and then sub important! IF you go in with ALL of your symtpoms they will start thinking along the lines of depression - I mean it could still be this, but lets figure out other things first OK?
