hello! I am currrently struggling with a ton of random symptoms. I have no idea what it could be and I've seen two doctor and all they did was blood tests. I get really bad limb weakness, dizziness, constant headaches and I'm always tired no matter how well I sleep. the dizziness is worse when I stand and makes it hard to shower or do much of anything. I've tried vitamin c, iron, multisupliments and vitamin d and nothing seems to be Helping. at first the vitamin c was helping tons but it's starting to come back. I'm currently still taking vitamin c, iron and vitamin d but still nothing. any advice? wheelchairs have been a thought but I can't get one because my parents.

      Yeah look into both dysautonomia and neurological stuff. Also lyme, def ask about lyme. In the meantime, try a little more hydration throughout the day. It might help

      The dizziness and limb weakness is the worst so far. The dizziness is kinda constant in the fact that it's there when I stand and when I sit it can turn into blurry vision. but it's fine when I lay down and some days it's barely there. The limb weakness is both arms and legs and the arm weakness can get very very bad if I try to focus on tiny details (trying to get thread through a needle, etc). I did notice I get ear popping so idk I guess it couldn't hurt to bring up again.

      it could be vertigo. and the next time you go to the doctor ask for a differential diagnosis that basically means they tell you all the things it could be and then you can ask questions from there

      Hi! I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I agree with others saying it may be beneficial to explore whether it’s stemming from dysautonomia. It could be helpful to see a cardiologist for the dizziness when you stand. Also making sure you’re nourished & eating 3 meals & 3 snacks per day. I know that can be hard if you have a history of an ED, but working with a dietitian or a trusted loved one to make sure you’re getting enough nutrients could be helpful. I’m not familiar with limb weakness as that is not something I personally experience, but I hope you find some answers & are able to care for yourself in the process.

      I was thinking pots but I feel like I need to do more research first. But I will probably bring it up at my next appt
