Where are my medical friends at??
I need help figuring out what's wrong with me or where I can go to get help. I've been to countless doctors, had MRI's, blood tests,...

Well I had all of your symptoms and mine is caused from thyroid disease. I would recommend seeing an endocrinologist. Dr. Chang in Peoria is fabulous and I don't think you need a referral. Thyroid disease can affect so much of your body it's crazy!

Dawn Conway, everyone must be seeing awesome neurologists for what these comments say. Mine checked my blood pressure, asked me about school, and prescribed me anti-anxiety and pain killers for my headaches. Not sure how she even came up with that I ha ve a mix of stress related headaches and migraines. None of my problems have been solved through either of the medicines she prescribed me with. I have a checkup appointment tomorrow and am going to talk to her some more. I don't really have much information to give on my digestive issues cause I'm not even sure if that's what's going on. Very frequently after I eat I get terrible stomach aches. I also can't drink any juices before bed. Gatorade is the worst. If I drink Gatorade before bed I wakeup with stabbing pains in my stomach. I have the Mirena, and because of this I never know if my pain is female pains or from digestive issues but I have pains in my sides very very frequently. These are always sharp pains. Usually I just have to lean on something and not stand up straight. After about 15 min they can go away. If they don't hot baths help. One thing I don't I don't have is acid reflex. So I've ruled that one out. The story on anti anxiety meds are that one of my close family members was given them and anti depressants. They were a world of trouble and my family is very weary about them now. I know they are also very addictive, so I've been scared to go anywhere near them. After my neurologist appointment tomorrow, I'm going to make an appointment with a different family doctor in this area and get more tests done on my thyroid. If those come back normal I'm off to a endocrinologist- probably in Chicago or peoria. I'm also taking a 24 hour per test the urologist gave me and maybe I'll get some nutrition information. I'm hoping at least a few of my issues will be a quick fix. Right now my main focus is my memory problems though. They scare me the most. Thanks so much for the information!

Kalee stay away from modern doctors. They suppress your problems. You are saturated with amino acids from proteins. These acids are dehydrating your lymphatic system to the point that you are backed up and your kidney filteration is way down. Watch h olistic healer known for curing cancer and other illnesses. Dr. Robert Morse on YouTube's. " the body in its simplicity" part 1. It is a real eye opener. Be well! Also watch Dr John Bergman on YouTube he is very educational. Both these guys have different way at looking at the same problem but have the exact same protical for the cure. Not treatment but cure!

If you are not happy with the neurologist in the area, I would highly advise going for a second opinion. I have heard that Rush Medical Center in Chicago is great in that field. It would not hurt to just look into it. Also for the psychiatrist, it coul d be very scary to go see one, but do not get held back by a preconceived idea. Again with that simply going for a visit to see what they say could be beneficial as well. I too have really bad memory issues, but it is attributed to the fact that I am always thinking of something with the amount of activities, school, and work that I am involved with. This may also be your issue with the memory. I always joke that I will have Alzhiemer's when I get older because I will be talking and forget what I was talking about. Since you are so worried though and want answers, I would not limit where and who you go to because it just takes one person to figure something out that others missed.

Dee Janka Ritter yes, my neurologist is in Peru. I see Dr. Benevedes where the old blockbuster was. I'm actually here now for a checkup. I'm seeing a chiropractor now. We found out two of my vertebra are fused together (probably from birth since I'm so young) and my atlas is crooked (the bone your head sits on). He told me that since its crooked it's like kinking a garden hose, but to my blood supply to my brain. We thought that could be the reason behind headaches but they aren't getting better and it's been a few months.
Think I better find a chiropractor in Lasalle or Peru. Legs & carpal tunnel acting up, any suggestions ?

I go to Dr Miller at Peru Family Chiropractic. Have been very very pleased. Plus his mother and wife are massage therapists in practice with him. The best of both worlds! Hope you feel better soon!
