I Can Barely Function :(

New postby EQrider18 on Tue Aug 04, 2009 10:12 pm

Hello,

I have been having health problems for quite some time now, and I was hoping someone here may be able to offer some assistance.

This all started a little over a year ago. I began getting frequent headaches, almost everyday, mixed in with a couple really bad migranes here and there. I have been experiencing weakness in my arms and legs as well as pain. My limbs feel heavy and at times it is difficult for me to move. I have had two episodes of being unable to move my left arm. My hands shake a lot and I often drop things. The other day I had a strange feeling on the left side of my ribs, almost like a muscle cramp but it didn't hurt like one. It felt like someone was squeezing around my side, just very tight and grippy. That lasted almost the whole day. I always feel tired, my parents have to physically shake me to wake me up. When I do feel awake and ready to do things, it either a) doesn't last long or b) ends up hurting too badly/being to difficult for me to do. My grandfather wanted my help cleaning a machine the other day and he needed some bolt-like pieces to be removed. He and my grandma were just twisting them right off and I couldn't get them to even budge. I felt horrible because I couldn't help. I'm not sure what's wrong, my pediatrition thinks I'm depressed, and at this point I'm at a bit of a standstill as to what I should do. What could this possibly be? Any advice at all would be so, so appreciated.

Thank you,
A.
