Could I Have A Thyroid Problem?

23 February 2013 - 03:48 PM

Hey guys 

I have been having strange symptoms: extreme energy levels causing me insomnia, general weakness, shaking mostly in my hands but occasionally my entire body, jumpiness, dry eyes, turning blue when tired, headache, hives, muscle twitching, hiccups, feeling out of breath and heart burn. They have been really bad since December, but they seem to be getting better. I'm worried that they may be autoimmune related and will come back. I got a blood test but by the time I got it my symptoms were starting to dissipate  and all of the results are with in the normal range, but several of them are, in my opinion, boarder line. But at this point my dr told me that it's all in my head and that I'll just have to live with it, and even my parents are starting to believe I'm making it up.

TSH 2.48 ref. <0.47-4.68>

Free Thyroxine 0.78 ref <0.78-2.19>

Sodium 142 ref <137-145>

Potassium 3.8 ref<3.5-5.1>

Chloride 107 ref<98-107>

CO2 26 ref<26-30>

Anion Gap 13 ref<10-20>

Blood urea nitrogen 8 ref<7-20>

Serum creatinine 0.7 ref<0.6-1.3>

BUN/creatinine ratio 11.4 ref<7.1-23.5>

I'm sorry I've been posting so much, I just want an answer and to feel like myself again,

Thanks

I Keep Turning Blue

19 January 2013 - 11:40 PM

Has anyone experienced their entire body (hands/arms, torso, legs/feet) turning blue/gray randomly, I have talked to my dr already but he seems stumped, and doesn't want to do tests until its worse. It started this past summer it happened like 2 or 3 times and it always happened when I had been laying on a flat wooden surface, and it didn't happen again until about 2 months ago. In the past 2 months or so it has happened at least 4 times but now it seem random when it happens, like I was sitting in class on thursday and it started with my hands and then pretty soon I had a blue/gray hue. When it happens, (anytime of day/night) I'm not usually cold, but my extremities start to ache and sometime my hands will tingle, and they get really hard to use like I'm wearing gloves even after the color returns, basically I turn a gray/blue color and my veins become prominent. I also have other symptoms, I have too much energy to sleep, I get about 2 hours of sleep a night, for as energetic as I am I feel really weak, I have had really bad heartburn and indigestion the past couple of weeks, and I have this weird feeling in my throat, kind of dry and like I have food stuck or something.
Any ideas that I can take to my Dr. would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Is It Stress Or Something Else

02 November 2012 - 07:55 PM

Hey guys
Well I'm a sophomore in college and have been gluten free for almost 4 years. About a month ago I started having trouble sleeping, both falling asleep and staying asleep. I brushed it off as midterms but midterms were 3 weeks ago and All of my classes are easy but I still can't sleep I have been averaging maybe 4 hours a night. I am also having a lot of trouble concentrating and focusing on anything and my coordination is terrible, probably due to sleep deprivation. It also seems the less sleep I get the less of an appetite I have. I really don't think this is stress since nothing is really stressing me, but I really hope this isn't something else.
Sorry if that didn't make much since but thanks for your responses
Sincerely
Sleep deprived AP

That's It I'm Going Vegetarian

22 August 2012 - 03:17 PM

Is it safe to go vegitarian if you are gluten free, lactose intolerant, allergic/sensitive/whatever its called when you get sick from eating peanuts, eggs, bananas, anything from the cabage family, anything from the broccoli family, and soy?
Reason for considering vegitarianism: any and all news articles about pink slime, large chunk of hair found in a piece of ground beef, and getting a stomach ache after eating almost any type of meat...also my friend said that I would die if I was a vegitarian, I took that as a challange...
biggest question is would i be able to get enough protein without using supplament? I would ask my dr but my gi moved and the new one doesn't believe i have celiacs (looking for a replacement) and i have aged out of my pediatrition so i'm looking for a new dr too, and the only time i have meet a dietition was when i was first diagnosed when i was 16 aka 3 yrs ago
thanks for your help

Lutein Intolerance?

02 May 2012 - 07:44 AM

I was doing a little research today and I found that a comminality between almost every food that makes me sick is lutein. I was wondering if anyone had some information on a lutein intolerance or allergy, or if anyone knows how to find out if it is the lutein or I just got lucky with my "problem" foods (yellow corn {not white}, egg yolks {not the white}, kiwis, broccoli, spinich...the list goes on...
Thanks AP
