@skizzard Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! As @loribmt mentioned, please don't get yourself in to a whirling circle of anxiety. So many of us have done that, and it serves no good purpose.

I don't know when your appointment is, but I do have a suggestion. Take time now to calmly write out the symptoms you are experiencing. Being detailed will help everyone. Be sure to include your living situation, who you have for a support system at home, etc. Write out what you follow for a diet. You are going in to a new doctor, a new specialist, and the more information they have to form a clear snapshot of you, the better. Besides that, you may uncover a pattern to your symptoms. You never know when a small thing to you is a telling factor! After you are finished, make a copy so you and the doctor can refer to the same information.

Then, take some deep breaths. Get outside and breathe fresh air. Go for a walk. Know that you have this handled, and are being proactive. Congratulate yourself on reaching out for answers. Do you have any other questions for me?
