Please Help I am pretty sick

[Maureen2413]

I have been sick a very long time and no one has ever really been able to pin point what is wrong with me. I have had alot of tingling throughout various parts of my body and my feet have alot of pins and needles sensations along with turning blueish. I have went to several vascular doctors no one can explain why this is happening. I believe I have some type of diabetes but it would have to be something rare that is not show up in ordinary testing. Someone in my family had some sort of diabetes not sure what type. I feel I have gone so long untreated with whatever it could be I am begining to believe perhaps my pancrease does not produce enough insulin or maybe the insulin does not get through my body properly and can't find the proper help. After being sick for 28 years I did finally switch my diet to eating practically no sugar and within three weeks I felt the best I had in 28 years in which I spent four of them in bed so sick. I have been to over 80 doctors and the Mayo Clinic twice. My brother and sisters are also sick not as sick as I am there has to be answers out there. Currently right now I have alot of symptoms of hypoglycemia and I get quit confused which is frightening. I also have Hashimotos disease put I know for a fact when I changed the diet for three weeks my whole life changed and was on no medication. Can there be something that is rare that is not being picked up on? I need a direction. I have lost over 20 pounds in two months and am frightened I don't know why I was better for about four months and then something went wrong. I live in New Jersey I need to know is there anything anyone know or can suggest to me. The constant urination I have they find no reason for me having it, I get alot of mental confusion, dizziness, cold extremeties, my vision has been horrible I go and get my eyes checked they say they are normal, I feel so weak and tired I don't know where I fit but I know I can't live like this anymore. How can I eat when I feel nauseau it is hard. If anyone could help me I would so much appreciate it. I feel like I am dying and that no one can figure me out. I do thank you from the bottom of my heart and am sorry for the inconvenicence this posting maybe for some of you I am new and really need to turn to someone for help in a direction.
God Bless Maureen

I tend to doubt this is diabetes. It sounds like it could be chronic fatigue syndrome maybe.

I tend to agree with Funnygrl here. Actually a lot of the symptoms you have sounds like what my sister is going thru, and they dont know what's wrong with her either. But they done enough testing either! LONG story. Anyway, Your weight loss could very well be due to the fact of your change in diet. Which isn't a bad thing, unless you've become underweight!

Sorry to hear you are so unwell, just a suggestion for you but as you have Hashimotos disease is there as pos that you have addison's disease too? Google addison's disease and see what you come up with.

What type of doctors have you been to? Have you been specifically tested for diabetes?

Please whatever you do, do not diagnose yourself because it could either be something very serious, or not very serious but serious enough to warrant a doctor's visit and demand that tests be taken to rule out every possible disease and illness.
