Having Many Symptoms Like Stiff, Swollen And Painful Joints, Chronic Sore Throat, Excessive Sweating Etc. Could I Ask A Doctor?
Question: Hello,
I am going to list all of my symptoms. I don't know if this is just the perfect storm, or if there is truly something serious going on. I have been to several doctors and ER's that blame it on my fibro, but I know my body well and this feels completely different. I hope you can help me or point me in the right direction.
Stiff, Swollen, Painful Joints, and extreme in hands and fingers
Tingling in my hands feet and back of head...pins and needle
Painful, but cant find swollen lymph nodes
Un-explained rash on neck
Dry Cough
Difficulty Swallowing
Sore and painful white bumps on both sides of tongue, bump inside lower lip what feels like rough patches inside cheek.
Hoarsness
Chronic Sore Throat, low grade and nagging
nausea
gagging and dry heavng...no vomiting
Excessive!!! Sweating for no reason
Extreme Night Sweats
Shortness of Breath, sometimes when lying down
Snoring/wheezing when breating while awake
Tenderness to pressure in upper abdomen
Fatigue
Unexplained weight gain, change in girth Until a month ago I was actively loosing weight, about 3lbs per week. I have gained back 13 of twenty five lost.
That is the Majority of what is happening. I have in awful pain, sometimes bedridden.
I don't know where to start. There has to something that can be done. I extremely concerned there is something serious happening. How do I get Dr's to listen?
Thanks
