About a month ago I Passed out and hit my head on night table. I busted my lip and gums open. In the month since i've been to the er 4x and the hospital 5 days. I'm fustrated. I have symptoms of cold hands and feet. I get tired easily. feel weak. My skin feels sticky and cold. My lips and tongue are numb. I feel like my mouth is full of acid. I'm cold all day and I sweat all night when i sleep. In the hospital they did all kinds of test on me. they all came back fine. My blood, my organs, my head, my heart (spinal tap) ect. the first er visit said i had seizure. 2nd er visit told me i had hight bp (felt like having heart attack) My 3rd er visit i couldn't talk or move my body parts. My stomach and lower back hurts. I have thick stools evertime I go when or if i go. My shoulders hurt and my left side hurts more when I use it. everytime i eat it kills me. sometimes i don't even feel like eating. Eating wears me out. Chewing wears me out. the last visit two days ago to er came up with gallstones. this is the only thing they have found out off all the test. I get mixed reviews from all kinds of people. they say it could be never damage from my fall. or my gallstones. all i know is i ache all over and cold/numb. I feel like a lil old lady. I can't stand up right. since my last dr visit to er i've spent 2 days forcing myself to stay out of bed. I keep telling myself the dr say i'm fine. but i know my body I'm not fine. My symptoms aren't normal. My dad had gallbadder taken out year ago. he was severly sick. I'm seeing specialist after specialist. all my test come back fine. but i'm losing my mind. did i get an infection from the open wound in my gums/lip? do i have nerve damage from fall? It is my gallbladder? I burp all the time and it hurts. I don't get it. My mom tells me to keep going back. Don't take no for an answer. the er dr gave me adavan and the last couple of days i've had my 1st full nights of sleep in over a month. I still sweat and maybe wake up but i go back to bed. My bp normally high but good on meds has been very low lately. normal ranges but low for me. because i have no fever or infection in blood they keep sending me home. I'm currently unemployed and it hard enought. these visits to dr are killing me. will they ever find an answer. will i ever get better? I'm leaning towards galbladder. all that has come up. I do have bad cholesterol but have been off meds for a while because i'm allergic to them. I'm currently off all my meds. they thought it was them but 3 wks later i'm the same. If you could give me your thoughts and stories i'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Have them check your thyroid. Check TSH, T-3, T4, and thyroid antibodies. also check for possible food sensitivities or allergies.
IF fatty foods bother you it is a sign of gall bladder, or at least fat intolerance. the dr can order an ultrasound to see if you have gallstones. but that really doesn't explain all the symptoms. I would avoid fatty foods, and try a light, but high fibre diet. That will help the cholesterol, and may alleviate gall bladder symptoms. Avoid foods which cause distress. you should have at least 1 bowel movement a day. Light colored stools can indicate gallbladder or liver problems.
If all else fails ,you may want to go on a rotation diet to rule out food sensitivities. That is too long to go into here, but just google" rotation diet" and you should get the info.
