The last 5 months have been the absolute worst ! for as long as I can remember in my late teenage and early 20s I was always depressed and sad, but I chopped it up to smoking weed during those years. Oddly enough everytime I smoked no matter the time or occasion I would fall asleep; my friends thought it was weird. it could be 8pm and I would fall asleep in the car while everyone is having fun. After I stopped smoking I started having these more noticeable symptoms but I was chalked it up to my brain was messed up from all the smoking I did.

SYMPTOMS

•It started with derealization

•Then Digestive Issues/ Yellow Stools

•Cold Feet

•Blurry Vision

•Eye Floaters

•Brittle Nails

•Toenail Fungus

•Left Arm Clot ( January This Year )

•Sleep Disturbances can’t take naps or fall asleep easily like I used too ( December Last Year )

•Blood In My Stool Once ( December 2024 )

•Bloating/Constant Burping

•Heart Palpitation/Heart Skipping Beat

•Bruxism

•Gained 17 Pounds from February To May

The left arm clot really set everything off for me because from researching on google. It pointed towards GI cancer (Trousseu Syndrome). So the last couple months I had a bunch of GI studies like colonoscopy endoscopy and ct scan of abdominal and pelvic area. ALL CAME BACK NORMAL. I’m afraid doctors missed something.

I’ve talked to my PCP and they’ve done blood work and the only abnormal bloodwork is HIGH TPO (700) and Low Vitamin D (24). PCP doesn’t want to investigate my thyroid further. What should I do ? I need help what should I do ? should I go the GI route or keep on pushing for thyroid answers. Everyday has been hard for me! I’ve stopped working because of this and my life just isn’t the same.

hey guys so for the last 4-5 months I’ve been getting looked at by my doctors to try to figure out what’s causing all my symptoms.

LIST OF SYMPTOMS

•Eye Floaters

•Dry Hands/Palms

•Muscle Spasms/Whole Body Spasms When I’m About To Enter Sleep

•GI Issues-Bloating,Acid Reflux, Loose Stools (Yellow) sometimes

•Constant Burping/Diaphragm Spasms

•Brittle Nails

•Toenail Fungus

•Started Waking Up at 3am and couldn’t fall back sleep no matter what. Started in December

•Left Arm Clot/Bruising

•Fatigue (Severe)

Sorry for the extensive list ! The arm clot is what really set this whole thing off. I googled and did research that it’s associated with GI cancers most commonly. So far I’ve had an endoscopy,colonoscopy and ct scan of abdominal and pelvic area and everything came back unremarkable.

Only Abnormal Labs That I Have Are High TPO (700) and Vitamin D (24), I also have a 1cm sliding hiatal hernia in my stomach. Could the high TPO and Low Vitamin D be causing all my symptoms? I’ve also suffered from depression during my late teenage years and early 20s (18-22). I’m 25 and all these symptoms started occurring when my life was looking like it was getting better. I’m a 25 year old Hispanic male

hey guys! I’ve posted on this subreddit a couple times and I apologize for being annoying.

i know there’s people on here that are diagnosed on here and I feel for you guys. I think I’ve just hit a wall and my quality of life is so bad right now. I don’t know where or who to run to.

I’ve been so adamant about having something wrong with me because of that stupid arm clot I experienced in January and the fact that I lost the ability to sleep. I wish a doctor would have looked at my arm clot and said “yeah let’s investigate this now” I’m 25 years old and that’s not normal.

I’ve had my procedures done at Stanford which is an amazing hospital in my area, but I’m just so sad that I’m considered a mystery. I want to keep advocating for myself because if I do end up being right. what’s the best thing a doctor can offer me ? maybe an “I’m sorry“. my mom’s pregnant with my youngest sibling and I want to survive and live for her more than anything that’s why I’ve been pushing for tests. I feel like crap everyday from the no sleep, constant burping, constant singular hiccups I get, random stomach pains, sore body. This is the lowest moment in my life. AGAIN sorry for venting
