I'm ****ing dying.....

[2ofEverything]

For the last 3 months I've woken up every single day feeling like absolute ****. Nausea, terrible headache, fatigue, sweating, hot/cold flashes, etc. It feels like everyday I wake up I have the flu. But it goes away about 6 hours after I wake up, then comes back around night time. So I go see my doctor 2 months ago, about a month after it started.

He sends me to get my blood work done and see psychiatrist because he was sure I had a panic disorder, even though I'm a very calm and laid back person. Psychiatrist says no way I have anxiety or a panic disorder and thinks I have a brain injury from boxing, sends me to a trauma specialist. Trauma specialist says I have post concussion syndrome, or just a concussion, come back see him in a month. I come back a month later but my symptoms haven't gotten better, probably worse. He sends me back to the family doc.

This ******* forgot to check my blood work results so he looks them over and says "Everything's fine but you've got a really low white blood cell count", I was like "Yeah? So what is it aids?" He's like "Dunno, come back in a month if the symptoms don't go away, we'll do your blood work again you probably just had a cold". So here I am again, about 2 weeks from my next appointment, no closer to resolving the issue then I was earlier. I'm depressed, my grades in uni are dropping because I can't focus in class at all, I'm missing school and work because there are days I can't do anything but stay in bed all day.

I'd honestly just take any diagnosis right now. I'd rather have him tell me I have a cancerous tumor in my brain and I'll be dead in a few months, at least that way I'll know what the problem is....

I wouldn't panic yet. The fact that it goes away after a few hours is a positive. I would just go to the emergency room and tell them your symptoms and that you would like a full blood scan. You should get the results back the same day while you wait. Your doctor sounds incompetent, so having a fresh mind examining your blood work might reveal some answers.

Damn bruvva, you do sound like you're dying.

If you have a concussion, it's very possible you have some sort of brain injury.


Your pituitary gland could've been damaged by blunt force trauma which can cause hypothyroidism and your symptoms sound a lot like it. They are flu like symptoms which can cause you to wake up feeling drained, nauseated, hot/cold etc.

James Toney had that injury early on in his career, that's what caused him to balloon in weight, he couldn't produce any testosterone.

Every morning for 16 years Kath Robinson has woken up feeling as if she is suffering from flu. Her muscles and joints ache, she feels hot, flushed, exhausted and weak

^Her experiences sound similar?

Maybe its AIDS and brain damage and a cold?

Going through stress and other sidetracking issues in Uni while working is tough, I go through that too, I work and go to uni and have other issues and grades can definitely be effected. Be careful about diagnosing yourself or reading too much into google or Yahoo answers. A lot of people tend to self diagnose when they see 4 out of 5 symptoms of something checks out. Have you considered that maybe you are depressed? You know the other day in psych class, the prof said treating depression is very successful. Statistically 80% of people who are depressed never go to treat it, but those who do, I think she said something like 90% of people who treat it actually feel better. Not that they are cured of it completely, but they see improvement, and it starts after a certain period, forgot exactly how long, I think 6 months.

My thing I know for sure is financial situation, there's nothing to diagnose. I'm simply suffering from broke college student with a not so good part time job(relative to my expenses). I know this for sure because when I get paid i'm happy until all my money runs out on bills, then i'm a sad **** again

You're a vampire...but no,in all seriousness,like the guy above me said go to an emergency room. At least that way you'll be able to find out quickly if you have anything.
