I am going to an endocrinologist in a couple of weeks. I know how it feels when one cannot get a diagnosis that gets your life back to normal. Lets hang in there.

Good luck to you and I hope you get your answers. I’ve got some testing starting today that I hope will show something. A full abdominal CT scan. I’ve continued to struggle each day and feel like I am getting further from recovery, not closer. The last few days I’ve woken up with a “buzzing” sensation throughout my whole body, pounding head and then extreme jitters and nausea. Unfortunately this has not gone away at all. It may get more subtle during the day, and I have periods where I feel relatively better, but it comes back to really whack me. I am absolutely worn out physically and mentally, haven’t been able to go back to work for more than a couple of hours at a time, and am very concerned about providing for my family as leave and money are running out- so I hope for an answer soon! I’m not sure the local doctors I have seen have the resources or experience to figure out what is going on with me, but I know my primary is trying. It is just a very complicated case and I do understand that as I was an active and healthy 48 year old until 8 weeks ago. The endocrinologist I saw told me the local docs would be unlikely to have much luck and tried to get me into Mayo, but they wouldn’t take me in so I just have to hope someone here sees something soon as I am running out of hope. I hope you get your answers and the endocrinologist has some ideas for you. Good luck and please keep us posted!
