Question: Dizzy numbness in extremities neck and back pains


 Grizmodude - Tue Sep 14, 2004 12:02 am

My joints hurt I am getting alot of what feels like tendonitis in legs and arms if I hold somthing for a time my muscles cramp. I feel like its related to my Dizziness and back pains. My legs and Neck Grind when I move them. I am constantly Fatigued My blood Sugar is ok whenever I test. I am getting Real tired of this its been years. I have problems focusing my eyes. Light hurts my eyes and makes it hard to keep my eyes opened. My Ears ring all the time but that might be tinitas but some thing makes me think its all related. I am overweight but have been all my life. Its a real fight just to function every day. I feel like im Falling forward when sitting still sometimes. altitude seems to increase these symptoms. also my depth perception seems to be off just a bit. I wear glasses but have a fairly new prescription. I have tried altering my diet many times and in several different ways. fats and sugars-starches seem to affect me sometimes and other times not. I find it hard to concentrate and stay on subject. I have always been an OX strong and capable of moving mountains, but lately I feel like a "Girlie Man" to quote Arnold. HELP!!!!! I am frustrated with my problems. But I would not trade my Big old Body with anyone elses I happen to like being a Big old OX, I just wanna fix this one 8o)

Guffaw, HeHe .Yup the Big Ol OX has been through many Tests and exrays and Cat Scans (scaned for Kidney stones turned out to be Epididimitas[I am sure I spelled that badly]). Ok thought may be sleep ap ap apnia (not sure how to spell it) or Blood sugar I asked to be Exrayed because of Back Pains and neck and arms, Had blood tests done, Blood psi good. only thing found was Stones in Gall Blader (a lot of stones) I have had them for awhile. But was told no big deal if not Hurting. I have noticed that Taking 800mg Ibuprofin seems to relieve some of the Dizzyness and Pain but I cant keep taking them due to Stomach getting anoyed at me. Lack of sleep compounds the symptoms. My Doc Finaly decided I must be Depressed. I totaly dissagreed (STRESS totaly Dissagreed) but tried all the Antidepressants he could come up with. which made me a HAPPY But still have same Problems Ox that could care less if I paid bills or worked or even had any responsabilities at all. I quit taking the antidepressants and now am even more against them. If I am Depressed its Because I don't Feel Froggy. NOT SICK BECAUSE I AM DEPRESSED. OK OK OK So I sound a bit anoyed at My Doc but I think he said to himself "man I just cant fix this guy so I will just Give him happy pills and he will go away". I realize that not all Problems can Be Fixed but I figured with the Power of the Internet and Your (Kissing up now) :D Superior Collective Intelect a Light bulb Might be lit. AHA I know just what it is Lets Just realign this Bone and Pull His Cranium out of His Posterior then a small lobotomy replacing the extricated Brain Matter into his Spincter and WALAH. (well hopefully not to that extreme) :shock: :lol: But seriously now I appreciate Your reply and Any advice I can get for FREE. :wink:

It sounds to me like you are suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with all the exhaustion, lack of sleep and the joint pain. This illness was thought to be a fad but then became accepted by reputable physicians. Many of the not-so-informed docs summed the symptoms up and called it depression, but not once could they explain how a joint pain was caused by feeling down. I suggest you look up this illness, see if it sounds like it fits and take it to a doc who will listen to you. Hope the big Ox feels better soon. :D
