Linda Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 my DD has been sick for the last five weeks and we don't know what is going on. she went to see her Dr. and he ran the basic chem 7, and took her off BC pills which she had only been on for a couple of months... but she isn't doing better. she is going to go back to the Doctor... so what i was wondering if any one might have a suggestion as to what might be going on so she can have the dr. check into it. staring with her main complaints... dizziness that will last up to 35hrs inside shakes weakness headaches weight los numbness/tingling in face and arms flu like systoms this has slowed down a lot. so maybe she had a touch of the flu she has been checked for sugar.. she is going to ask to be tested for huntingtons, and see about cancer, but as to what kind she doesn't know and is going to see if maybe there is a blanket type test to see. anyways any suggestions would be of a great help. oh, she is normally healthy, and doesn't take any meds. she is not over weight she was at the right weight.

PlanoPa Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 have dr check her thyroid profile, some thyroid disorders mimic these symptoms also. to you and DD and keep us posted Quote Link to comment
gardnmom Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Have her checked for hormone imbalance, could be to much estrogen in her system. The birth control pills would have elevated it even further. This would include even the Thyroid, It produces hormones, too. The Essential Fatty Acids would help in this case, but also getting away from plastics and similar products, like oleo. Quote Link to comment
Linda Posted November 1, 2004 Author Share Posted November 1, 2004 they had already checked her thyroid and it is fine. there is no way you can get her to eat oleo... she is even careful as to what kind of cooking oil she uses. she fixes lots of fresh vegs and furits or grows her own and can them. there is the store boughten stuff. do you mean stuff that is stored in plastic too??? thank you both for your suggestions.

gardnmom Posted November 1, 2004 Share Posted November 1, 2004 Yes, foods stored in plastic picks up an estrogen that can simulate natural estrogen and throw off you entire system. My niece had a problem with this. The evening primrose and othe EFA's helped. Quote Link to comment
psarnes1 Posted November 2, 2004 Share Posted November 2, 2004 Not trying to scare you but does she have problems with mosquitoes? If so have her checked for wes nile. I know that this is far fetched but what you are describing is what was going on with a very dear friend of mine and we found out in the knick of time this is what she had. Hope this helps and she will be in my prayers. Smooches Quote Link to comment
Linda Posted November 2, 2004 Author Share Posted November 2, 2004 I sure will let her know about that. It was about 5 weeks ago when she was here and we do have lots of them. thanks. what scares me most is not knowing/ or having any ideas as where to look. Quote Link to comment

Judy Moist Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 Theyd, before your dd came down with the symptoms listed, had she had any bouts with a sore throat or diahrrea, any kind of a viral or bacterial infection? Also, does she complain of tingling in her fingers or her legs. Is she having trouble with any weakness in her legs, having any problems walking? If so, please have her checked for Guillane Barre syndrome. When my mother come down ill with this, no one knew what it was or how to treat it. Luckily we came upon one doctor who had treated several cases of it... Quote Link to comment
