/sci/frens, I need your help

[Anonymous No.11841882]

It's a medical problem.. Now, I would post this in /med/ but nobody in the fucking general usually replies, so I'm going wide on this.

Right, so, let's get to it. 4 days ago I started to have tingling and numbness in my feet, hands, and sometimes other places on the body, after I ate lunch with my mother. I was previously concerned before this that I may have had diabetes but my blood test was normal, so was my blood glucose readings and a1c. I tested with BGRs at home constantly, there was simply nothing there. And now I'm having these problems.

I was also previously diagnosed with general anxiety disorder because the doctors didn't know wtf was wrong with me since everything tested appeared normal. Other symptoms of this is that it is now hard to get an erection, I have tremors sometimes, I have IBS but that's a separate thing altogether (we'll use it as a symptom), and I have strange marks on my hands that haven't gone away.

I don't know what's happening /sci/, and you probably don't either but.. Please, give me an estimation of what it could be.. Before I go to the doctor's again.

Goddamn it you PISS me off /sci/.

..Ok ok, look.. my dad's a doctor.. And it would be very easy for me to ask him to treat me, however, the catch is that I have done this many many times for no good reason and it's like the boy who cried wolf basically. Understand if I ask him to treat me he will tell me it's just anxiety and will be done with it. My dad is really the only person where I can have access to free healthcare since I live in America. I cannot simply go to any other doctor because it would just cost money. loads of money.

Ok, so, now that you see the predicament of this problem that I have you really should just tell me what it is since I won't easily get a doctor to come and look at it in time.

Just tell me what you think it is, what's so fucking hard about that?

Could be borreliosis. I had very similar symptoms and doctors also told me it was anxiety and stress, until one finally did the test and verified an active infection. Not saying it's definitely that, but borreliosis gets tested for way too rarely and people suffering from it end up in asylums if it goes undetected.

My symptoms were
>heart racing suddenly
>sudden eye migraine which never occurred before
>breathing problems
>concentration issues
>tingling sensation in fingers
>left knee felt weird and didn't move like before
>back pain (Bannwart syndrome)
Among some others. 3 weeks of antibiotics and 2 months of spontaneous but short reoccurences and it was gone.

Just go to a different doctor if you don't want to end up insane.

You know it's funny you say that, I was bitten by a tick up in Appalachia a couple years ago and my dad prescribed some doxycycline. I thought I had taken it as accurately as possible but.. It could've had a reprisal.

hahahahahhahaha bro you are fine just go for a walk. the fact that you had all these tests confirms that you have too much time on your hands and need to simply do something else. I am the same way, extremely anxious and a hypochondriac, and its a common issue of wishing ur problems into existence. For real, you are fine. You cited like 10 different things that have no relation to one another just get out of ur house

No I'm NOT fine there is something obviously wrong with me, why the fuck would I have these symptoms? If it were just anxiety it wouldn't exist!

anxiety can manifest itself with physical symptoms you fucking moron, especially when that anxiety is influenced by a fear of being sick lmao

Psychosomatic syndrome, which I have also been diagnosed with, and which I have had experience of can only go so far you fool. If it were psychosomatic as you fucking say it would've gone away by now but it's Day 4 of this.

Day 4, Day 4!!!

Very possible. There was a huge study done in a village near where I live, where around 25% of people had it. Sometimes the borreliosis appears up to 8 years after the bite. So it might not have been that specific tick, but some other.
Some insects can also transmit it, albeit extremely rare.
But yeah, doxycycline and ceftriaxon will help. It's important to take it for at least three weeks, because it doesn't kill the borrelia themselves, only renders them sterile. Your body still has to fight them off itself. It's a long process.

What am I going to do? My dad won't treat me since I'm an anxious little fuck and spazz about every little detail but when it comes to serious shit like this he's still going to think it's just my nerves and not an actual disease. I'm so fucked. So fucked. Goddamn if this is actually Lyme disease I'm so fucked.

You're only fucked if you're not going to some doctor. Are you underaged or what's the fucking problem? Just get an appointment and go. Don't tell your dad if you're afraid of his reaction.

You're a hypochondriac

I'm afraid I don't have insurance and I don't have any money since I am a NEET. I don't even have the luxury of socialized healthcare since I am also American. So yes, I would have to rely on my dad, most unfortunately.

Yes, under normal circumstances this would be hypochondriasis but this might be different, /sci/

You've got fibromyalgia caused by IBS. Also get checked for non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
