I swear, when someone's talking to me now, I can barely understand what's happening. I know I'm no spring chicken anymore but I wish I was 16 again lol when I experience things it's like it's a memory or like I'm at the back of my head. It's hard to explain. Every thing here is getting gradually worse over the years. Suffice to say, I'm not looking forward to my 40's..

That being said I feel like I'm making a big deal out of something most women my age just get on with and put up with for the rest of their lives without complaining

The fact that you have these symptoms indicates something is going on. If the tests say everything is normal, then they are missing something

So much was tested and I've listed off the top of my head a bunch of things that were tested. What do you suppose they could be missing?

Without getting my magazine-thickness stack of lab result papers I had them print out, I’ve had TSH, hb1ac, potassium, sodium, urea, LH, FSH, prolactin, DHEA, testosterone, androgens, b12, folate, ferritin, full blood count, full white cell count, IgA, calcium, estrogen, ca-125, cholesterol, etc tested.

My white cells have been low since the testing began, but I was told this is normal because as you age your immune system declines.

None of these tests would have anything to do with gut disease, for example

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I already read what you just copy and pasted. I'm not a doctor. I don't know what is wrong with you. But if they run tests and tell you everything is normal, then the appropriate response is to say "I don't care if the tests say everything is normal, I still feel like shit."

[–] IEatCeleryAt7Degrees@lemmy.world -3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I'd say "I'm being silly and need to get on with it. Even my family have told me to stop complaining about my health."

[–] blarghly@lemmy.world 5 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Of course your family has told you to stop complaining. Hearing someone moan about their poor health is annoying and boring. We don't want to hear about it either, hence all the comments you are getting here telling you to stop making posts trying to normalize your clearly abnormal condition. We don't know what is wrong with you and can't help you. You need to see a doctor. If the doctor tells you everything is normal, tell the doctor that they suck big fat donkey dick at doing their job and tell them to refer you to a doctor who isn't phoning it in.

[–] IEatCeleryAt7Degrees@lemmy.world -1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Changing doctors won't change the fact the lab results will keep coming back normal, as they have done over and over and over since summer last year.

And you keep completely ignoring what everyone here is saying, through the many threads you've posted. You either don't want to get better for attention or have some mental issue that makes you unable to comprehend very basic things. I'm not even gonna repeat what you have been told so many times here because it's obvious you don't listen. You have taken any will to help from anyone here because you just keep ignoring their words and saying the same dumb shit over and over. I'm pretty certain you need psychological help, not physical.
