    Default Meltdown

    I'm having a total body meltdown.

    For years I've been blaming the problems with my body on low B12 because it was low several years ago when I got tested and I've never been able to keep up with the needles. More recently I thought my problem might be hypothyroidism, since I have tons of symptoms and my father also has it.

    The bloodwork I got back today says that neither of these things are my problem.

    The B12 is a little low, but according to my doctor "nothing a simple daily supplement can't fix", even though I keep insisting that the supplements never did (EDITED) all for me.

    My problems are thus:

    - Fatigue, even though I sleep fine and plentifully
    - Muscle weakness and aches
    - Difficultly concentrating/remembering things
    - Permanent black circles under my eyes
    - Bouts of restless leg syndrome
    - Bouts of unreasonable depression
    - Random mood swings, ranging from joyful to depressive to violent
    - Absolutely 100% no libido

    I refuse to believe that there's nothing medically wrong with me, but my doctor seems to think it's all in my head. It's very frustrating and I spent the better part of the morning bawling my eyes out after I found out my thyroid levels were fine.

    It's so depressing. This way that I constantly feel...this can't just be 'me'. It just can't be!

    Have you read up on Fibromyalgia? I was FINALLY diagnosed with it about 10 years ago by a Rheumatologist.

    I have all the same symptoms you mention and when I'd go to the doctor I was told nothing was wrong with me and that it could be blamed on stress. I started to believe that the doctor just thought I was a nut. Finally the pain got so bad in my hips that I could barely walk. That's when I went to the Rheumatologist thinking maybe I had Arthritis.

    Also a Fibromyalgia sufferer but fortunately I learn't to correct it to a large degree, with excersise.

    I had a major fall and this was the result at that time, also around 12 years ago, with Myofasical pain and IBS, all stress related from the trauma of the injury at that time.

    Google it and see if this makes sense to you.
