What is going on? ( will choose best answer!)?

Question

For the past 6 or so months, I have had extreme fatigue, very easy bruising, also I had very low sodium at one point, but the last time they checked it went back up due to a medication I took for a short period of time (Florinef, for Addisons Disease.) Although, when I took it , my Aldestrone was lowered ( it was high before) but my Renin went up , so I was take off of it. My sodium however went back to normal. I was tested because I had dizziness when standing/laying down. I also had an absent menstrual cycle for almost two years, and am now on a birth control and finally have periods.

What could be wrong? I am convinced it is an autoimmune disease. I have researched everything- I have an appointment with a new Endo, but it is not till Sept 15th. I intend on asking him to test me for everything possible.

So here is a short list of the symptoms I had in the past 6months/or longer:

SEVERE fatigue

No menstrual cycle without birth control

LOW sodium

Easy bruising

Also, I have recently had a boil that is very painful on my thigh.

Thyroid diseases, and most adrenal diseases were ruled out, also pituitary diseases. So anything else would be helpful.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Are you anorexic?

Because -70 pounds is definitely NOT healthy.

Answer 2

if your age is 40+ teh may be you are going through manopause. it means that your menstrual cycle is comming to an end. if this is true then its not a big problem . You should just concentrate on your diet and exercise.all will become normal

Answer 3

Hepatitis can do that to you.

Check your pancreas, Kidney, Spleen, and most of all Liver.

I have hepatitis and am in almost the same condition. I happen that I found on regular check up that I had hepatitis B. I believe that I contracted that working in fishing boats in Alaska.

Too bad, life... the point is Doctors are also driving me crazy. They say everything is fine but in reality all my tests come out with some problems  and yet they say everything is normal..

So, my best suggestion: keep checking and asking questions...
