Greetings All;Before I begin, allow me to say that I’m well aware this is a problem that I should bring to the doctor. I know that I need to do my best to convince them that there’s something wrong, and I need to keep pushing until I get some answers. Well, I’ve tried all of that. First of all, a bit of history: This is my fourth pregnancy, I’ve never had any miscarriages *knocks on wood*. I’m an old hat at typical aches and pains in the pregnancy process. I’ve had preeclampsia twice (first and third pregnancies), with the second resulting in labor induction in my 36th week. I’m not one generally to complain; I know a lot of people say this, but you’re just going to have to trust me on this: I won’t go to the hospital unless someone physically drags me there. Okay, some more info:I’m a 29 year old caucasian, I’ve had both my gall bladder and appendix removed 3 years and 7 years ago respectively. I’ve had all my shots including the full hepatitis series, all over a year or more ago. I was diagnosed with Colitis in January of this year; I’ve had some lower levels of protein and bilirubin in my urine; I’ve had beyond the normal amount of pregnancy nausea, it feels as though as someone kicked me in the stomach; I have pain in my left flank which indicates, along with the protein in my urine, that the hydronephrosis is back with this pregnancy, as well as a urinary tract infection; I have tenderness on the right front side of my body, with pain shooting up to my shoulder, which along with the elevated bilirubin indicates possible liver issues. I’m only 11 weeks and 4 days along, so it’s not like I’m nine months pregnant and impatient. I’m seeing a GI for the colitis; but he can’t/won’t provide relief and the meds just aren’t working, so when I can eat, I have to deal with reffered pain in my back until my food passes through my stomach, and then again as soon as it passes my small intestine. I’ve talked to my GP about the liver/kidney issues, and he simply tested me for Epstein Barr and Mono, which came back negative, and he never followed up. When I tell the OB about the amount of pain my kidneys and urinary tract infection are causing, he pretty much just pats my hand and says “There, there. ” I get light headed if I have to walk more than 100 yards, to the point of where my vision starts to shut off if I don’t stop and catch my breath. I know it’s not my heart, as I’ve had stress tests in the past and I had an EKG in January as well as some blood gasses taken which all came back fine. My white blood cell count is elevated (just high, not above normal), my red blood cells are low, elevated C-ReactivProteinsns and slight anemia. I’m at a dead end; which is why i turned to Yahoo! Answers. I can hardly function and no one seems to care. I’m seriously ready to slip back into a depression. I honestly don’t know how much of an answer I’m looking for. . . this is more or less just the chance to vent my frustrations. If anybody has any thoughts on at which point my doctors will actually care and not just brush it off as “normal pregnancy issues”, that would really be helpful. Maybe there’s something I’m not communicating which is allowing the doctors to think that I’m just complaining. I don’t know; in any case, thanks for taking the time to read my meandering thoughts. Wish you well.

So for the past month, my hand has been shaking (Not very violently but the the point it’s uncomfortable), I’ve been getting mild headaches, from dull to pulsating, they usually get worse at night. (all around my head and behind my eye socket and there is also pressure behind my eye), Also some slight nausea. I have had very slight balance problems sometimes (not too common but still. . . ) My ears have been kind of “plugged up” for a while now, when I take a shower and put liquid in there or pop my ears I get relief for a bit. I have to mention I have sometimes had trouble finding the right word to say on occasions but that might just be normal, as I have normal speech and conversations the rest of the time. I am going to the doctor tomorrow, I’m so worried 
Not sure if it’s stress or something, but what could it be? I have to also mention I haven’t been getting the best sleep lately. I am 17 by the way. Thank you. Sometimes I get very light goosebumps on my head when I have a headache, not sure what that means. Been having allergy-like symptoms too

I posted this in another section but I revised my details sorry for the re post but I need more opinions. So for the past month, my hand has been shaking (Not very violently but the the point it’s uncomfortable and affecting my artwork), I’ve been getting mild headaches, from dull to pulsating, they usually get worse at night. (all around my head and behind my eye socket and there is also pressure behind my eye), Also some slight nausea. I have had very slight balance problems sometimes (not too common but still. . . ) My ears have been kind of “plugged up” for a while now, when I take a shower and put liquid in there or pop my ears I get relief for a bit. I have to mention I have sometimes had trouble finding the right word to say on occasions but that might just be normal, as I have normal speech and conversations the rest of the time. I went to the doctor a while back for my ears, first he gave me Claritin for them, it didn’t work, he then sent me to a specialist and he prescribed some sort of nasal spray (fluticasone propionate), which didn’t work. I am going to the general doctor again tomorrow. I’m so worried I really don’t want it to be something serious Not sure if it’s stress or something, but what could it be? I have to also mention I haven’t been getting the best sleep lately. I am 17 by the way. Thank you. When I went to the specialist he put a camera in my nose and said I was swollen in there. I have also been experiencing some allergy-like symptoms(runny nose, sneezing, etc) frequently for a while now. Again, Thanks for the help. My art is mostly pencil art and digital art. The shaking pops up from time to time and even though I can still do it, it makes it uncomfortable to draw. Especially on the tablet which is so sensitive to slight movements.

My boyfriend is younger then me (he is 24 i am 26). I just got a fulltime job, he cant find work. He tries but it is hard in today’s economy. To make matters worse, his family wont help him and I am all he has. I love him to death but it is a lot of pressure and I focus more on helping him then helping myself most days. I let him move in with me and we would fight all the time. He has a drinking problem and gets nasty when he is drunk, it is overall a LOT of stress. What kills me though, is how much he unconditionally loves me, wants to marry me, and treats me like im the most beautiful gilr on the planet. On the other hand i feel unhappy most days because it is like I am trapped, I cant have my own independent lifestyle I am used to because i feel obligated to coach/nurture/help him out of the rut he is in. I guess Divine intervention took over, because a few days ago he was arrested for old charges (warrent that I didn’t know about, possibly preventing him from getting a job?). Now he is in jail, we cant even talk on the phone for some unknown reason, problem with the account I suppose. Point is, now that he is gone I feel huge relief, and very sad at the same time. My family thinks it is time he grows up and starts pulling his OWN life together, but in my heart I still miss him, he is like my best friend. He drives me nuts but then why am I sad when he is not around? I always thought, “,maybe in a few years when he gets his shit together it will all be ok” but then I have my doubts, what if I am always waiting. . . . If I break up with him he wil be crushed. I dont know what to do. I dont want to hurt him, and at the same time I dont want to give up on him becasue what if he really is “the one” and were just in a ahrd place right now? How can you really klnow someone is the one or not when you have so many problems. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
