Hi new here and need some advice if possible I went through break up in 2007 by 2008 I had dropped from a size 16 to an 8 I was diagnosed then with irritable bowel depression/anxiety due to me feeling freezing all the time like I'm just about to go down with flu or something - I cannot gain weight I have just undergone total hysto including ovaries at 36 due to pcos (heavy irregular bleeding constant infections etc..) I am having night sweats also for the last nearly 8 years there has been no change to this after hysto and I'm on hrt 75mcg with no change at all I have spells of chest pain dizzy ness breathlessness and headaches more recently I have been having severe memory problems I'm a mum to 3 and it's causing problems - i had a stillbirth 29 weeks 3 yrs ago tsh was not quite right but in normal limits.
I've also got clumsy keep bumping into things losing my balance and have pins and needles in hands when waking and occasionally in feet
Keep getting swooshing sounds in my ear and dizziness nausea sickness
Every blood test I have had with thyroid function the last 18 months has been not quite right as the dr (different ones each time) has put it (in uk same surgery) I had a private thyroid function test done 6 months ago showing tsh at 0.17 will try to upload comments here.
This week my dr has called the latest round of blood tests has shown something not telling me what til I go with my thyroid.
The thing is I seem to get so close to them figuring this out then they send me home with the same generalised anxiety disorder they relabelled me with after my daughters still birth - yes I was anxious being pregnant again afterwards and yes I keep feeling panicky but I'm happily married not depressed and run a successful business whilst being mum - what do I do when I see the dr any advice
After my op my temp sat at 35 they couldn't raise it bought me blankets
My blood pressure has been low since all this started also
Thanks in advance for reading I may have missed some symptoms as my brain is slow these days thanks x
Image is of private test 6 months ago same week NHS dr test came back fine
UPDATE:DR called folate is low given 5mg folic acid level 4.5
Level serum b12 334
Someone in thyroid suggested I put all my symptoms here incase it's relevant if anyone can help thanks
It may be useful to people here to mention that you have already posted here twice in the last day with B12 and folate results, and a number of people have already replied to those earlier posts.
No problem or need to say sorry. It just helps for people to know you have done earlier posts.

Hi I'm new to this site. Cannot believe you sound just like me. A year ago had severe diarrhoea, lost over a stone in weight, had severe anxiety. Dr said I was stressed. I had a lot of antibiotics the previous year. I was left shaking , severe headaches and couldn't get bowel back to normal. After lots of stomach bowel testing was told nothing wrong.
Took multivitamins for a few months before felt normal. Had another dose of antibiotics and stopped multivitamin as diagnosed with lots of food intolerances. The multivitamin had citrus and green tea in which couldn't tolerate. Within a month went downhill. Diarrhoea again, neck muscle spasms, anxiety etc etc
Returned to Gp for more blood tests but nothing showed. Since then things have got worse.
Now have stinging nerve pains in head and neck bringing on anxiety, palpitations, tired but can only sleep until 4 am, pins and needles in hands, feet, arms, ankles, shaking, pain in stomach, sometimes diarrhoea,burning tongue.
Returned to GP as I've suspected B12 deficiency through my own research. Waiting for blood results. In the meantime have started taking B12 under the tongue.
You have my sympathy as it's so debilitating. Let me know how you do and I will you.

Hi! Good to know we are not alone - I'm sure there's one root cause and or trigger to whatever it is, hopefully we get some answers and hope u are ok and not too fed up with it all xx
Hi yes I think you're right. I do have one person who does help and I pay privately for an ex GP/ nutritionist advice. He helped me years ago when I had irritable bowel. He has suggested the B12 drops to raise my levels. He did say the NHS levels of B12 are quite low and for my age 60 my levels should be higher. I'm quite scared as don't want to do neurological damage.
Some days it does get me down but must be worse for you having children to sort. Let's keep plodding on looking for answers. Take care xx

Exactly! Yes... the neurological is the most worrying for me too...I have visions of me forgetting the school run and all sorts - writing everything down to cope at the minute at least if it's b12 it can be stopped in its tracks I think, as I understand it (tho I have only just found all of this in the last 24hrs) been banging my head against a brick wall for awhile before xx
For anyone suffering diarrhoea, upset stomach, I'd advise cutting out gluten.
I did this 4 months ago and feel a lot better. I also think my goitre has reduced slightly in size. When you're intolerant to a lot of foods ( mine include coffee, ginger, pineapple, chocolate) then you're more likely to be intolerant of gluten.
Hidden , I'm so sorry you've had so much sadness and stress in past years. It doesn't do our bodies or minds any good. I can trace my health problems back to my partner dying in a road accident 2007 and the awful stress and anxiety that followed.
Keep reading here. I'm sure with treatment you will get yourself well again. And that's a very empowering thing to do.
