Hieveryone,hoping for some sound advice on here as i keep reading conflicting opinions and i'm just totally confused and need direction.
I will give you brief history.
I have had various health problems since 2013 which maybe coincidental,but i felt very ill after starting to take Fluoxetine,and even more so when i stopped them,which was only 2 mths.I had taken years ago without any problems.
I was diagnosed with Costochondritis which only started as dull ache under my arm but by the time the dr finished prodding me it got much worse.It got worse with the fluoxetine.I didn't get any of the pains associated with Costo,just inflamed ribs and tender to touch.
I had Hysterectomy in 2016 due to ovarian cysts.I started to have stomach issues where my stomach felt bloated and heavy,had tests done, but normal,so i pit it down to the healing process.
I then got ear infection and had to take 4 weeks of antibiotics,this made my ribs feel worse again and they have remained chronically inflamed ever since.
At the same time i was diagnosed with Hypothyoidism,but still didnt feel well when i Levothyroxine.
I then did some research and had a private test which showed i had Hashimoto's
I saw several rheumotologists over these years and they still maintained i had costo,even though i had tenderness in most of my body,along with other endless symptoms.
In 2017 i demanded my rights in seeing a Neurologist because i was getting numbness in my hands at night and noises in my ears,and insomnia,he said he thought i had Fibromyalgia which he referred me back to Rheumo who also then decided that too.
In December i had the same problem with my stomach and had tests again including liver function full blood count B12 folate and they said everything was normal.
At the moment,my symptoms are numbness in my thumbs,burning feet especially at night,occasional but probably more often now, slight tremors in my face,gastritis type symptoms extremely sore ribs,feeling bruised to touch on parts of my body and heavy legs.
I read on a Fb group that it was advisable to take the test with Viapath,which i had done which is here;
Vitamin B12 (Serum) 415.0 ng/l (187.0 - 883.0)
Methylmalonic acid 338 nmol/L (0 - 280)
Active B12 (HoloTC) 95 pmol/L (25 - 108)
Homocysteine 13.0 umol/l (0.0 - 15.0)
serum folate 3.2 ug/L (3.1 -
MY FOLATE IS NOW 17.5. AS OF DECEMBER, HAD B12 DONE SAME TIME BUT NHS WOULD ONLY DO B12 SERUM WHICH WAS 408.
I dont know what to do anymore,i feel so ill and feel like i'm slowly dying.My drs are no help because they dont understand.
I tried AIP diet last year because i thought it was something i was eating but i didn't feel any better,so maybe if i do have PA,this is why?
Thank you for your time.
