   Feel like i've lost control of my body (Open to All Health Related Topics board)

16th November 2007
Im a 23 year old female. For over a year I've been having ongoing lower abdominal pain and my stomach bloats out really far so I look like I'm pregnant. I also have constipation. The doctor simply told me I have IBS. Which I could handle if any of the medication they have given me has helped. Right now i'm on Reglan but this has not helped. I've changed my diet to combat IBS and have added fiber (nothing helps!) Along with this I have had acne and sudden weight gain (50lbs in 3 months) and still rising. I eat right and exercise. I don't understand because I've always been able to maintain my weight if I needed to.

Well recently I've also been having UTI's a lot and even urinated myself on accident *embarrassing* without even relizing I had to go. My muscles and joints have been hurting. I've been exhausted all the time and most recently has gotten greasy on just the back top of my head and my hair is getting thin there. Now my vision feels like it getting worse and it's really hard to consentrate. It basically feels like I have lost control of my body! I've had an an abdominal scan and a colonoscopy and nothing came from that. Im supposed to go to an endocrinologist but they can't get me in til' Feb. I need some sort of indication that I am going to be o.k because my doctors I've been going to don't seem to want to find the problem or just seem to think it's no big deal and just throw pain meds at me and tell me to come back in a month. I'm having a really rough time making it through each day with all these problems. Any sort of suggestion would be helpful on what this is!! Or even a suggestion on where I can go in Ohio that they can run the right tests. I'm trying very hard to not give up..but it's taking a big toll on my relationship, my family, my whole life it feels like. Thank you for your time.
