Ok I have some medical problems. I know we have some big brains here and maybe some people that are also doctors or scientists or whatever. I have done a lot of labwork and stuff but I don't think I am communicating with these German doctors very well about what is going wrong so I bring it to you guys. Maybe one of you have similar problems and your labs look the same so I added scans of my labwork.
Symptoms:
- Stuttering randomly, this one is odd because I will know what word I want to say, I can't say the word but if I choose a synonym in my head I can work it out. I also can say it over and over in my head sometimes and eventually will get it out but it's awkward.
- Memory loss like big time. I don't remember what I ate for meals last week. I don't remember half of the people I meet. All kinds of issues here.
- I am starting to have trouble using homonyms and screwing up a lot of my typing. Some of you might have noticed it here on the forums but probably not. I lose track of my thoughts a lot of the time during a post or typing an email or something else. It's super annoying.
- Joint pain, arthritis pretty much.
- Extremity numbness at times and twitching.
- Extreme headaches.
- Fatigue all the time. I could sleep for the rest of my life and probably still be tired.
- Light sensitivity.
- Dry eyes.
- Rash under my eyes that comes and go and nothing clears it up.
My general practicioner is American and she feels there is some kind of issue. We were looking at MS and Lupus but just can't back it up I don't think. Right now I am trying to just wait it out until some bigger symptoms show up but I am getting extremely frustrated.
I have an MRI that had nothing show up out of place. I don't have the pictures from that with me but I doubt anyone would want to see my brain anyways.
The lab work that was an issue was the ANA was positive and high. I also have markers for Lyme disease but not the rash and it isn't high enough for the amount of time that I have had symptoms.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Know some specialist in their family they could refer me to that I could email labs to?
