Yes, I'm only seventeen. Barely seventeen actually my birthday was just last month.
In the past two years I have been anemic. I have had kidney problems too, nothing severe though, I have had calcium in my urine and have had kidney stones. I have had numerous infections, UTI's, staph infections, etc. I feel like every scrape I get becomes infected too. I have had ovarian cysts. I'm diagnosed with migraines and take a Rx for that. The migraines have caused me to pass out on several occasions. I feel tired constantly. I sleep all of the time. I am diagnosed with having eczema but recently my rashes have been looking different and they feel warm. I had a seizure like episode. I became stiff and collapsed. I'm embarassed to say this but when it happened I wet myself. I didn't go to the ER that day. No one was home when it happened and my mother related it to my migraines and me being sick. My legs are also always very sore. I get random pains.
The other day I was seeing an allergist. I've gone to the ER a few times lately because my throat has closed up to the point I couldn't breathe. It was treated as an allergic reaction. I didn't swell up though which is typical with anaphylactic shock. He was mentioning lots of possible causes. He mentioned vocal chord dysfunction. That was his main suspicion. He also mentioned that people with autoimmue diseases such as lupus sometimes produce excess histamine which can make them have allergic reactions basically to themselves but he said he doesn't think that's me. I have to wonder though. Ever since he mentioned lupus and I've looked it up, I find myself fitting a lot of the symptoms.
I recognize that it's very probable I don't have lupus. I was just curious as to opinions. I think I've been losing hair but not a signifigant amount. I haven't lost weight. My white blood cells are normal. Unrelated to this I am homebound for school. I do school at home because I have aspergers syndrome and I have really bad anxiety attacks. I don't know how much if any of this anxiety can cause. I have heard of anxiety causing psychosomatic pains and tiredness and even making eczema worse. I just feel like it's something more though.
I've been doing lots of tests lately today I actually am doing a 24 hour urine thing. I have to collect every time I go to the bathroom all day. I'm not sure exactly what this is for they said something about checking it with acid? I also had like 10 vials of blood drawn yesterda. Maybe something will be found...
