I have had many symptoms throughout my life and many tests, but i have never put together all of the symptoms, i have only seen for individual symptoms, ex. joint pain- ortho headache- neuro.
but lately i have many problems. I used to have headaches, seizure, fainting, vision loss,
i currently have joint problems swollen ankle bumps on toe, purple toes, lump on neck, pressure in head (based off of spinal tap), hand tightening, numb locked hands at night, etc. my old symptoms appear, just not as frequently
with all my symptoms combined i think i might have something serious, but not alot of doctors take me completely serious (since im only 18 & have been going through this since 15) more things keep piling up and im nervous. Its hard to get referrals because its my regular physician that makes me feel so stupid. Ive been diagnosed with psuedotumor, but never told my dr. about my joint issues and purple toes, i think im developing something and im not sure who to see. An oncologist? hematologist? rheumatologist? i might just pay out of pocket instead of getting a referral.
any suggestions?
