Please help me diagnose a problem...
My girlfriend is experiencing some severe problems which her doctors are unable to
diagnose. She had a {*filter*} test for lyme done, but it came back negative. If you
have any ideas, please foreward, we would truly appreciate it. Her symptoms include:
severe knee & elbow pain, every day
a sharp pain
sometimes in fingers and wrists
A weak feeling (ragdoll-like) in the extremities (as in, unable to lift arms)
occasional nausea and shaking in the arms
flu-like symptoms
always tired, not rested after sleep
possibly connected symptoms include:
itchy skin, with no rash.
As I said, she was tested and came back negative for lyme, but also negative for
inflamation, even though her joints were in fact inflamed. We think possibly it was
not done right. Her mother has many of these symptoms x10 and has been diagnosed
with all the usual things for a non-specific disease, such as auto-immune disorder,
chronic fatigue, etc. Oh, yeah, I don't exhibit the same problems and we both have
been checked for ghonorea and we haven't exhibited any of the other symptoms for
that. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Even if you just tell me where I
should ask for this (the sci.med groups aren't that familiar to me, I don't know
which ones are more appropriate for this kind of problem...
I'm posting this here because she is going through some very stressful times (moving
away, going back to school on her own), and the way she handles stress (type A
personality, definitely) may aggravate something small and turn it into something
big...
