Hello all,
I'm a 22 year old male. For the past three months I've been experiencing so many various symptoms, that it drives me insane.
Let's start with very high fever and a horrible diarrhea, go through sinus pain, sore throat, coughing, muscle pain, headaches.
The fever and diarrhea went away for a week or two, got a frontal X-Ray and was told that I don't have sinusitis, then I was diagnosed with TMJ. I was fine for a week, then I went out in the rain and got sick again. My nose started getting stuffy and I experienced some really annoying postnasal drip that made me vomit for a week. An ENT doctor told me that my mucosa is a bit swollen and gave me some medicines for this. My muscles started hurting then, along with my neck. That's when I started getting worried about cancer - lung cancer, throat cancer, brain cancer... I started coughing. All of this was going away and coming back. Some days I didn't have muscle pain, but headaches, the next - no headaches, but my muscles were killing me.
I got my right upper wisdom tooth removed 10 days ago. That put an end to the throat problems and made my life much easier. But I still feel pain on the right side, between my ear and temple, all the way up to the head (sometimes). Occasionally, my head feels very tight. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to faint. I noticed that I always have ugly red vessels in my eyes - they are never white as they should be. I'd say that this is because of my contact lenses (changed every month), but I sometimes feel like I'm having double vision - if I close one of my eyes, I see perfect, but with both It's just not that good.
On top of that I'm scared for my liver, because for this time I'm taking painkillers on daily basis - at least two pills of Tylenol 3 (well, the equivalent in my country - 200mg acetaminophen/30mg codeine/300mg metamizol) + some ibuprofen. Before that I was having mild headaches (possibly because of my wisdom tooth) and I was taking the pills for quite some time. Luckily, I don't drink.
And sometimes I forget some stuff - like today I forgot my credit card's PIN - and I use it almost every week! It took me 10 minutes to remember it and this scared me a lot. I don't notice any memory loss related to my work (I'm a programmer), but still...
And finally, the anxiety. All o this makes me very nervous and scared. I drink valerian and validol (menthyl valerate) but it doesn't really help.
So... any ideas are welcome. I don't know to what kind of doctor to go anymore. I kind of gave up on them...
