Hello
You might have read my previous threads about my health but im at the end of my tether now. I am planning to go back to my doctor tomorrow but i need some advice first.
I have been going to the doctor for 3 years with a number of complaints, I've seen a general medical consultant at the hospital but they all send me away with 'all your tests are normal, there is nothing wrong with you.'
so they send me away with no clue and one doctor said ' i will not put you on long term medication at your age' but if you cant tell me whats wrong with me why mention medication......i really really want the medication, anything they can give me because i cant live like this anymore. I have been ill since my baby was born 3 years ago. My body over heats really bad when im walking and i sweat excessively so now i cant go out unless my husband is off work so he can take me in the car, i spend my days at home until the school run. I find it difficult to recall daily memories and i have low sudden low moods. I have constant acid reflux that i have to take Omeprazole every day for but even that fails some days.
I have a slow heart rate and palpitations. I have anxiety periods where i dont want to be around anyone, everything irritates me. I get tired easily just buy walking around the shopping center. Periods have slightly changed in the distant apart that they are. My toe nails have a yellow tinge to them even though i very rarely use nail polish (once a year) and they get cleaned in the bath ect. I have periods where i cant breathe properly and feels like i have something swollen in my neck/throat. I feel worse after a cold.
I have told the doctor all of this but they tell me i have to just 'ride it out' and its just 'one of those things' should they really just be telling me this? do i really just have to spend the rest of my life living like this? I used to be happy once.
What can i say to the doctor tomorrow? Is this what my life is meant to be like from now on, its changed so much. I always suspected thyroid issues but doc said my TSH is normal (test results previously were 2.7, 1.54. 2.0) over the past 3 years....

Should the doctor really be turning me away without a diagnoses?
