Hi bradley 31430
When you had bloodwork carried out were you tested for B12 and vit D deficiency..B12 deficiency can cause brain fog and muscle weakness and vit D deficiency causes gastric problems...So if you have not had them checked ask your health provider to carry out a blood test for these very important vits......or start taking B12 complex supplementa and Vit D rda 400IU..and see if they make a difference..obviously give it a few months for them to kick in
Thanks but results showed elevated b12 and normal d levels. I was told to stick with the multi vitamin I usually take. Now I feel jittery and have a hard time sleeping through the night. I take melatonin to help.
I'm checking out my hypertension mess to see if they can cause problems.5mg amlopidimine and 100mg losartan potassium
Right hand side - appendicitis or grumbling appendix. You never menrioned that.
Blood work should have showed something. Infection. yes I still have my appendix but I'm not sure it's the problem.. This has gone on so long that I don't think it's that but thanks for the help
Did they say your liver and pancreas are normal?
You should ask for a Gastric Emptying Study or a Barium Swallow to eliminate any possibility of something wrong with the contractions of your stomach or intestines or any functional obstruction.
It seems that every rx I take causes fatigue
I already had gastric empty study done along with new gastric mucosa scan to see if there's an accommodating problem. Both came back normal. I forgot to add that I'm also lactose intolerant . Tomorrow I will stop every medicine that causes fatigue including the melatonin I take for insomnia.
oh liver and pancreas normal
What about your liver or your pancreas? And what medications are you stopping?
Sorry I didn't get your other post. Forget about the first question.
Do you get the burping and bloating no matter what you eat?
Yes burping and bloating a little bit at first but a lot later. Terrible when sleeping.
I don't smoke,drink alcohol or use drugs.
no soda
no caffeine
only water and gatorade
my bp is 120/80 but Before I lost weight it was higher and then dipped to 80/60 when I lost the weight and I had to get away from 40mg of lisinipril plus the other two I was taking
Your symptoms sound like chronic pancreatitis. What does blood work show? CP does not always show in blood work or scans.pain under ribs refers to your pancreas most likely. Have you had a calprotectin test done for Chrones?
I have a lot of similar symptoms for 2 months know has you doctor ruled out Celiac Disease and Crohn's and ibs which can cause symptoms like yours
ur obese--your organs are dysfunctional. Sounds like particularly your pancreas is acting up. You need to eat a healthy diet and start to exercise. quit running to doctors
