Ok I give up then.
I got my tests result back today from my Dr's appt the other day. The Dr Checked for Celiacs and checked my liver function. I guess there was some concern about a possible ulcer. Everything came back fine, which is good. I should be jumping for joy but I am just so frustrated. I have felt like absolute crap for months now. Stomach problems, migraines, numbess & tingling in my arm & hand fatigue. Just a whole bunch of junk. I've had an MRI of head & spine, physical therapy, complete blood work. I am hypo thryroid but at this time my thryroid is within normal limits now. I'm now back on my migraine meds which I didn't want.
At this point I feel like it's all in my head. I know I'm not making this up I truly feel like crap. At this point I'm at a loss...I don't know what I should do.
Re: Ok I give up then.
Don't give up! I know this is frustrating but it is also good to have ruled out a few of the causes.
My only question is what are your eating habits? Migraines and stomach issues could be triggered by certain foods. Maybe start a food journal and track your body's reaction after food to try to narrow down if it is food related.
Also, it could be stress in general as well...

We ( DH & I ) are starting to think it's anxiety related... I've been tracking my foods and no one thing seems to trigger any of it. I eat pretty healthfully 90% of the time
Nope no BC at all for that reason, it makes the migraines so much worse!
Yes they checked for Lyme disease, lupus,MS, Celiacs, rheumatoid Arthritis...
I have put a call in to a counseling place so I'm just waiting for a call back. I was in counseling last summer and it did help for a bit but I felt like I hit a wall with the women when she just kept asking me why I felt like I should be there, and I truly didn't know except that I felt anxious all the time even over little things. So I stopped going but things have just gotten worse. I've been resisting going on anxiety meds but I think the time has come that I have to give them a shot. Did you feel an immediate difference once you started them?
The letter from the Dr said negative. So I'm assuming it was pretty cut & dry. Is it possible though to still be sensitive to it without actually having Celiacs? I'm debating still cutting out gluten or at least all of the bbvious sources of it but I don't know if that is a smart choice.
You definately need to find the right person for counseling to be effective. I started with one person but our styles were different. The second person I loved but she left the practice so I'm on to #3 which is also a good match.
I resisted meds until I ended up in the hospital. I finally broke down then and realized I needed something to take the edge off. The meds took some time to take effect. I have two...my preventative (Buspirone) which has taken 3 increases but I (cross fingers) think is finally working ok. There are minimal side effects too. I take a Lorazepam on the nights I have to work still because I get so anxious about not being able to fall asleep. I HATE taking it but it's necessary right now.
I am also doing the non-medicated options such as limiting caffeine and alcohol, trying to limit sugar, exercising regularly and practicing deep breathing and meditation. Yoga has also been shown to help so I'm trying to find a studio I like.
