Male 24, I have been really really sick for couple of months. I had all these tests before and well and that time Doctors diagnosed me with chem imbalance depression and Anxiety.

I haven’t taken any SSRI yet as I am not convinced I have depression.

My symptoms include a lot of weakness. no energy in legs, arms and legs get heavy.fatigue, my appetite is craving for sweets and fry foods. I hate waking up in morning and sleep all day and I am up all night. I have withdrawn from everything as I feel to ill in general.

I barely go outside and this has been hapening from past 5 months.

I went to another doctor and she has ordered following tests.

Biochemistry- Glucose, TSH, Creatine, Uric Acid, Sodium, Pottasium, Chloride, CK, ALT, Bilirubin, Albumin, Cholestrol, B12, Ferritin, Urinalysis (Chemeical)

CBC
Other Tests - Si Calcium
Vit D
ESR
CRP

FOBT (Fecal Occult Blood Test)

All these Tests came out good lie nothing abnormal.
My Doctor is referring me to psychiatrist.

I mean I seriously think I dying of some mysterious illness and have lost all hope. Seriously I don’t think I have depression or anxiety atall!!

I went to Cardiologist who performed several tests and said my heart is fine.

Will all these tests gave doctor a good indication if I am physically healthy.
Now I think I have some of rare disease like LYME Disease ?/??
If I had Lyme disease would it show something abnormal in above tests ?

Symptoms of Potassium depletion ,Weakness,dizziness,lethargy ( for details see Wikipedia ).I suffered all.After stopping Indapamide I feel better.Now I have to make up for lost Potassium eating banana,Orange,potato,cooked tomato in addition to leafy vegetables.

I’ve been getting cramps everyday in swim practice. They aren’t cramps that I can swim through either– I have to sit out and stretch for at least 20 minutes, and even after that, they leave my legs very sore for a number of days. My coach said it’s from dehydration and a lack of Potassium, but I’ve been drinking so much water lately that I’ve been using the bathroom about every 45 minutes and I’ve been eating 2 bananas a day (breakfast, and whan I get home from school.) What can I do to stop these dreaded cramps?!
Any recommendations?

can you tell me about the US nutrition or vitamin supplier or distributor because i didn’t found any good or low prices distributor for my web site?
i want to sell our products at amazon health and personal category and every one know about the amazon there is a lots of sellers with a very very cheapest prices so i didnt found any seller or distributor who give me a much to discount and offer me of all type vitamins and supplements?

My doctor said to get more potassium and I’m really tired of bananas.

just surious

For a few weeks, I’ve been having uncontrollable head & body shaking & jerking @ night, when I try to go to sleep. Last night & this morning, it was the WORST, & I was wondering if I was having acute seizures. The second that my body relaxes , & I drift off to sleep, my body jerks, but my head jerks the hardest. The 1st few weeks, I thought it was a new tic from my Tourette’s. But I guess not.

I went to the ER this morning, & the doctor asked me about my psych medications. I HATE when they turn my physical problems into psychological problems & want to believe I’m a hypochondriac! I’m NOT. He even came in the room & caught me off guard, jerking as I was drifting off to sleep, & he said, "Is this the kind of jerking you experience when you sleep?" I said "yes". & he asked me what meds I take. I told him I take Luvox, Clonidine, & Wellbutrin.

& he said that he was going to prescribe an antihistamine because (in his opinion) the psychiatrist put me on the wrong meds. He prescribed me 50 mg of HYDROXYZINE. He put the diagnosis as "Muscle spasms", & he gave me a paper on muscle CRAMPS. He insisted that my psychiatrist put me on the wrong meds, in which she didn’t. I was like, "No, because I’ve been on these meds for months & months, & this head jerking didn’t start until a few weeks ago." He was like, "Yeah, whatever!"

I was only there for an hour & a half. I was like, "Wow! This was the QUICKEST ER visit I’ve ever had in my LIFE!" My friend & 1 of her coworkers were with me, & my friend was VERY pissed because she KNEW he didn’t handle my situation correctly! She said he was 1 of those lazy ER doctors who only care about making $$ & not helping patients.

But anyway, she said that if I was complaining of uncontrollable jerking, the Dr. shouldn’t have ordered simply a blood test to check my salts & potassium levels. He said they were fine, after the test. So since nothing from the blood test showed up wrong, he felt it was all in my head, & I was being a hypochondriac, based on my psychiatric diagnoses, such as OCD, Tourette’s (neurological), anxiety, & depression. My friend said he was supposed to do a CT scan, an MRI, or something. & he just gave me a "diagnosis" based on the complaint I had. I was thinking, "Wow! I never knew we have muscles in our head."

That visit really was a waste. I started not to go, but my friend URGED me to go because you never know what could happen.

So when I got back home, she told me to google "uncontrollable head jerking during sleep". & I found out about this condition, called myoclonus. & that described EXACTLY what I was going through! The second that my body relaxes, I fell that head & body jerk that feels like an electrical brain impulse or something. That’s what made my friend think I might’ve been having acute seizures.

& when I told the Dr. & 1 of the nurses @ the hospital, they said, "No. They weren’t seizures because you would’ve bit your tongue, & it would’ve bled."

My friend’s sister has seizures, & she said that her sister doesn’t bite her tongue with EVERY seizure. My arm & leg joints would feel weak, as soon as I drift off to sleep, & then I feel that electrical jerk in my head. & my arms & legs flail & flap all over the place.

I also read that with myoclonus, your body is tricked into believing it’s dying, so you have that electrical brain impulse to alert you that your body is not dying. & I also read that I can be having myoclonic seizures &/or acute seizures. & that’s what my friend told me BEFORE I even went to the ER. So my friend was right.

i retain water,but i am scared to take a pill for it. i heard you can loss potassium.

I was given some magnesium to take for bloating and constipation, sore breasts and a few other symptoms,has anyone used it with success?
