Question: Hello, I live in a very rural community and health care seems like one big guessing game, but here are a following list of symptoms that I have and am being treated with all kinds of drugs, in fact I think too many drugs. I have never tried any illicit drugs. But am considering smoking pot to escape my world of frustration. Up to a year ago I was a very healthy (besides a little
high blood pressure) 45 year old female, no children, never smoked. and a year ago my body went crazy it began with a severe infection in my colon, was in the hospital 4 days, and then they placed an IV in my arm so I could continue treatment at home, a Doctor said I had
diverticulitis, but after I was healed enough to do a
colonoscopy, the Dr was surprised to find a healthy colon. Then about 3 months later a very strange accurance, I was at work and very suddenly my left foot felt extremely HEAVY, I thought I was having a stroke but after I went to the emergency room I was put into the hospital for observation and a CT scan and they felt confident that I had MS and then sent me to a
neurologist. The neurologist said that although I have a few (possibly 4) lesions on my brain, but I didn't have any markers in my spinal fluid. It is noteworthy that by the time I got an appointment with a very busy neurologist I had another attack on my left side and they gave me super doses of steroids and my left side was compromised to the point where I had to begin
physical therapy to strengthen it. I also and perhaps this is an age thing but my bladder leaks and so I take Vesicare and love that drug (my how it changed my life), but it also could be part of this ugly health issue too. My other symptoms include; fatigue, vomitting,
dizziness (latest diagnosis is Meneries Disease), muscle spasams,
tingling numbing in legs and hands, even though I have extreme fatigue I cant sleep at night, I do not snore, I haven't been bitten by a tick (I did have a lymes disease test and passed). I have given more blood in the past year than I think anyone should have to give. I am not a hypochondriac, I just want my life back the way it was before all this, I am desperate! I live in North XXXXXXX but only for the past 5 years, I have lived in several states as I have been very blessed with jobs. I worked as a PSR or counselor with children, but currently I work with the retired population and I tell people I am a party planner extrodinare, so I have very little stress, and besides I have been taught how to handle my stress so that is not an issue, but please give me my life back so I can get back to living a blessed life! Thank you for any assistance.
