Weird Body Shape.. Help, Horrible Symptoms (pics)

[miss-cate]

hi everyone,

21 years old, a little frightened.. just wondering if anyone can help me out.. here are my symptoms/clues:

-as a baby, had unexplainable black and blue rash, twice.. (maybe unrelated)

-up untill about age 13, SEVERE stomach aches (would have to sit on the toilet all night long sometimes)

-ALWAYS have had severe brain fog, forgetfullness, nervousness, clumsiness... on a daily basis. this has interfered with every aspect of my life

-white strings coming from my eyes daily, from around age 14

-have always had pretty bad head rushes/dizziness

-since i can remember, i've had anxiety and insomnia.. but cant get up in the morning for some reason, need lots of sleep

-cant stop moving once i get to bed

-never been underweight, but have always been embaressed about my skinny legs and huge gut

symptoms lately:

-cramping in lower abdomen, have been to obg. counless times and cant find anything wrong there

-extremely bloated, especially after a long day at work, people have asked if i was pregnant

-feeling exausted, barely able to move.. its a struggle managing work everyday

-general sick feeling like my health is getting worse all around

-small red dots and pimply marks appearing on my arms from nowhere

-itchy all over

-bruising for nothing... small ones on limbs, that take forever to disappear

-sneezing lots, tickly cough that wont go away

-pounding heart

-tingly hand and toes, small red scabs on knuckles

-the big D word

-frequent urination, like somethings squeezing my bladder.. this feeliing comes and goes depending on the day

another note: my little sis was small a failure to thrive for no reason till age 13, and my mom suffers from heart palps and severe anxiety, has done her whole life.

anyway, if anyone could tell me if you think i could have celiac, it would be GREATLY appreciated... thanks so much, and maybe this pic will help... note: that i have no bum and stick legs

You do sound like you could be one of us. Have you had a celiac panel done? If not I would suggest that as a first step before you stop eating gluten.

Not only that but you sound like you and your mom are very low on magnesium. Taking the proper amounts of mag. should help the restless muscles, heart palps, insomnia and some of the anxiety. You can start taking that immediately.

For the rest, I agree that you should have a full celiac panel done right away.
