Blood work years out
had surgery in 2009, lost 160 lbs. have been sick for past 2-1/2 months. Dr. Is stumped with cause of odd symptoms: extreme fatigue, odd painful sensations in muscles (like razor scraped on muscle), feel jittery (like Mexican jumping beans), muscle fatigue, blurriness in one eye (peripheral vision), shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea. Not fun. Have had many tests and specialists app'ts.neurologist (who was an idiot, said I needed to wear collar at night made no sense), ophthalmologist, blood tests, MRI. Still ruling out multiple sclerosis, complication of rheumatoid arthritis, Doctor is stumped. Have EEG booked in aufust. Love that our health care doesn't cost me, but there's long wait list in between each app't and test. Wondering if it's vitamin deficiency. There isn't a bariatric specialist where I live. So have forgotten the blood work panel that we need. Any suggestions?
