I'm sick and I'm looking for answers that, so far, my doctors have been unable to provide.?
So, I’ve been sick for the past 5 years and progressively things have gotten worse. My parents have been extremely supportive and I have been able to continue going to school and working, with their help; however, my entire family is frustrated and WE WANT ANSWERS. I’ve read some post by others that are asking medical related answers, and generally the responses are, get a diagnosis from a medical doctor or something to that affect, which is great advise, until you’re the patient that has all of the doctors stumped. So, I guess what I’m looking for is more of an idea generating forum rather than an answer. I know I can’t be the only one out there with these symptoms, but whatever is going on, is getting missed for some reason or another. Below there is a list of symptoms and some things that have been off with some test results. If they sound familiar, please let me know.
Symptoms:
Passing out (1-3 times per week) with this there are two types of passing out. Sometimes I feel it coming and if I sit down or put me feet up, I’m fine, but the other type I don’t have any warning, I just wake up on the ground.

stomach pain
nausea
vomiting
reflux
weight loss

sleep problems/ insomnia
pins and needles or burning sensation in feet and hands
seizures
hair loss
food intolerance (dairy, gluten)
cough
skin irritations (itching, hives, rashes
skin/ muscle knots
eye problems (itching, blurry, tingling)
Test Results:

high neutrophils
high hematocrit
WBC Esterate (2+)

Nitrite pos

Thanks for your help!
The occult was from urine test results, but they have found blood in all there tests, but can’t figure out where it is coming from. Here is a list of specialists I have seen: rheumatology, GI, neurology, urology, reproductive endocrinology
Thanks again everyone.

My first thought is possible Lyme Disease. Have you been tested? Also, parasites should be ruled out as well. Both of these can cause a wide range of strange symptoms that seem to be unexplainable…, many of them the same you have mentioned. Re; Lyme: after your initial IgM, IgG blood test, you may want to request a Western Blot test, regardless of how your IgM & IgG tests turn out. A Neurologist and/or an Infectious Diseases Specialist would be the Dr.s you want for the Lyme tests. I wish you the best of luck and best of health.
Have you been to a neurologist? If you have, maybe a hematologist could help get you a diagnosis. Either of these specialists might be able to help you.
NO WHAT
look up myster dyonysis it comes on discovery health channel. Wach through some episode and see what you can find if someone had something simular to your case
I WISH U THE BEST OF LUCK
I’m not a doctor so I can’t diagnose or even give you meaningful advice other than express you concern to the doctors who are treating you and be sure and ask them to explain anything to you that you don’t understand.
As an ex-med tech, I can tell you this about your lab tests. Your "low" lymphocyte count might indicate that your immune system is deficient. Since the hemoglobin and hematocrit tests are basically two ways of expressing your red blood cells, the hemoglobin in those cells are both. As a rule the hematocrit is usually 3 times your hemoglobin reading (ie, if your HGB is 12, then your hematocrit should be about 36. You said you have a 3+ occult. I would assume you to mean occult (hidden) blood in your feces. That would indicate that you may have bleeding in your internal system someplace. But you need to get all that checked out by your doctor.
have they tested you for nephrotic syndrome? I have nephrotic syndrome, and i have maybe half of those symptoms… it is rare, and my mom had to keep bringing me in to find out what was wrong.
