Hi Guys,
Just after some of your advice if possible. My doctor thinks I have Fabromyalgia but i'm unsure so thought I would come and ask the experts!
I got ill around 3years ago where I started to experience weird sensations in my body. At the start it felt like head rushes and almost like my head was filling up and dizziness. I kept having some sort of episodes and ended up in hospital with a suspected heart attack. To cut a long story short it turns out I was diagnosed with Hpylori which is just a standard stomach bug. All the time I was in hospital weird things kept happening and I started to twitch all over.
Over the course of the coming months / years I found myself at the doctors almost every week. Going from someone healthy that had rarely been to the doctors.
My main symptoms are muscle pains, nerve pain, burning legs that come and go, burning scalp that comes and goes, all over body twitches and pluses, vibrations going through my body and legs in particular, feels like something attacking my throat, facial vibration and pressure in the head that seems to come and go. At the start it felt like to me that something was in my body attacking things and my body didn't like it. When my legs first started to get sore it felt like something working its way through the muscle and they would twitch like mad. My chest seems to burn on and off also. At the start it felt like organs in my body where heating up as if something was attacking them.
On doing some research on the Internet I found a Lyme Disease forum and things seemed to fit with that. I had a positive test diagnosed in America (i'm from the UK) and the doctors over here said that the whole Lyme thing is a money making scheme and the tests aren't approved etc.. Just incase I started treatment anyway and so far don't see much improvement. Every time i'm going to the doctors he thinks that I have Fabromyalgia. So here I am taking all sorts of pain meds and nothing seems to be making a dent and no-one seems to know whats going on with diagnoses from everything from Post Viral Fatigue to Lyme Disease and Fabromyalgia. Does this story sound familiar to anyone on here?
Im about to go to the America on holiday and was wandering if there was any diagnostics tests or any specific doctors that I should be going to see. So far I saw a Neuro and a Rheumatologist and an ID Specialist and no one seems to think theres anything serious going on, but try tell that to someone thats experiencing all these weird symptoms and things dont seem to be getting better...
Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!...
