Need help linking symptoms together, What might I have? Have a long wait for Dr. Appt... and...?

Research a combination of Symptoms... What might I have?


I can't find anything that would tie all of these symptoms together: I MIGHT even paypal someone a few bucks to the best if they don't just go copy from obvious medical sites. I could do that myself and I've been to most of them. It may take some cross research or a google guru. I used to party hardy so I imagine I did some damage in all of those years. Plz try to include ALL symptoms.





1. Thin, Brittle, Yellow-ish Nails with Vertical Small Vertical Ridges (Fingers)


2. Abdominal Swelling


3. Frequent Urination (new)


4. EXTREMELY DRY FEET (new)


5. LEGS/FEET/HANDS splotchy dark red/purple-ish when cold or no reason. KNEES always very dark red!


6. Palms of hands always red.


7. Thinning/Dry Hair


8. Fatigue- Hypersomnia (too much sleep) or Insomnia


9. Anxiety/Forgetful


10. Myoclonic jerks (muscle jerks while resting or falling asleep)





Ask, if you have a "Q"!

When was the last time your doctor did a blood work up? It sounds like a thyroid issue, possibly diabetes, maybe lymphedema or vein problems added, would need to know more like what tests you had, when you last had them etc.





The brittle yellow nails can come from lymphedema and thyroid but also smoking. the abdominal swelling can be fluid retention or possibly kidney problems. The red splotches indicate circulation issues along with palms, and the muscle spasms while resting would indicate a possible restless leg syndrome.





What you need is a complete blood work up to include thyroid T3 and T4 levels, diabetes and organ tests, and based on that, a urine culture, if you have not had a female exam in awhile get one to rule out cysts which can cause abdominal swelling and pressure on veins. Might need a pelvic ultrasound too, veinogram to rule out venous insufficiency and then go from there based on the results.





To me, I can't diagnosis but it sounds like vein problems, coupled with thyroid issues, but need to rule out organ problems and female too.





The T3 or T4 levels even if they are normal or low end normal might not be normal for you as we are all individuals. The range might be 21-50 and you are 20, that's low and the dr might not consider it to be bad but it could be bad for yo uso you need to see the test results and go over them with him.
Reply:We share some of these same symptoms, but not all. Here is a site that you can see some of these. You may have more than one condition. I do. But I have primary Antiphospholipid Syndrome
Reply:It could be a thyroid problem. Imbalanced thyroid can lead to dry hands/feet, thinning hair, and thin nails. I dont know about the other symptoms, but u should egt checked by a doctor.
