Journal Entry for May 15, 2007 Mood
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
My name is Lynne and I think I have an autoimmune disease but am having trouble getting a diagnosis.
I'm a 49yr. old female and have had the worst yr. of my life!
I had been experiencing a lot of nausia and vomitting when I started getting headaches that felt like they were going to blow the top off my head. My Dr. sent me for a CAT scan and MRI. The results were an arachnoid cyst at the base of my brain where it connects to the spinal cord and 3 main blood vessels. For some reason my neurosergeon does not think this is what is causing my symptoms.
I now have an appointment with an internist and immunologist - and the symptoms just keep coming.
Here is a list of my symptoms so far:
Headaches, pain in temple and ears, eyesight getting worse, muscle and joint pain, night sweats, hard time sleeping, crazy dreams, nausia, vomitting, diahrea, tremors, loss of short-term memory, and probably many more which i've just forgotten! lol
Please HELP!!!
P.S. I'm now waiting for the results of testing for lime disease and ME/CFS.
