I've had my fair share of illness and diagnosis in my life. Sadly things are not getting better.
Here's the shorter version of my story.
I'm adopted and recently found my birth mom. I've been diagnosed with medical issues throughout my life that puzzle doctors. They have become more and more severe to me but all the doctors I've seen don't have many answers. It's not an easy thing to digest when it is effecting my daily living and mental health. When I found my birth mom this year I asked her for my family health history. I knew some but not much. I knew I was premature weighing almost 3lbs. with cardiac issues, seizures, and cyanotic spells, neonatal hypoglycemia, anima and my metrobolic screening at birth showed TSH 15.1 and T4 at 4.0 . I'm currently experiencing all of the same thyroid symptoms. I don't know what long term effects since. She wasn't diagnosed after I was delivered @ 34weeks gastational C-section. The symptoms started off slow getting sick not having a good immune system (teenager) to ENT allergies, endometriosis, IBS, but now 20yrs later I start having daily dizzy/faint episodes (on days some off days for 8 or so months straight) followed by hypertension, EOE- trouble swollowing , heart racing /chest aches, I'm now pre-diabetic and lots of pain. Rashes appear on my back sometimes , temperature change turns my skin blue, I'm always cold, my hands and feet turn numb/tingling sometimes, severe constipation, fatigue, nerve/muscle aches, Back and pelvic pain. I'm getting nauseous out of nowhere. It doesn't end. IT REALLY DOESN'T!! I'm a lot weaker and I'm only 38. My chest pain and dramatic weight loss is the most concerning right now. I lost 20 pounds since January with no diet changes. I can't get a doctor to understand my concerns due to my symptoms, my birth medical history and the recent news of my birth mom being pregnant with me while she had
graves disease. while she was pregnant with me that it could maybe related. Can the symptoms be starting to effect me more as I'm get older? Thyroid blood tests are still normal. Any help or advice I'd greatly appreciate it.
