Please any doctor or nurse help me ?
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 I have withdrawn from everything as I feel to ill in general.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 ?

It’s not lyme disease, that would cause noticeable problems in your blood tests. they tested every body system backwards and forwards. If all those tests are normal, the chances of them missing something are almost nonexistent.
I would go along with the psychiatric evaluation AND take what they prescribe to you. If you really are suffering from anxiety, that can cause you to be afraid of the same treatment that you really need.
pick up a religion, try to believe in it, because it will give you hope. Its what i did, i convinced myself when i was sick and depressed that i would pray and read the bible, it gives you hope when you have none, but i stopped after i got better
it could be lyme disease, if you get a tiny tick in your hair, you wouldnt be able ot see it , and i know a woman who had problems with her arms like you said and come to find out she had lyme disease so ask to be tested for it.
I’m going to go with hypochondriasis.
Well i am not a doctor or a nurse
But i am a Nurses Aid all of your symptoms that your describing is depression. Don’t feel alone there are millions of people that have depression some have it for a few days others have it for months. I would try a anti-depressant and see if it does help you out. With anti-depressant medication it will take 4-6 weeks before you get the full effects from the medication. So don’t give up. One good med to try is Lexapro. Stay away from Cymbalta bad withdrawl symptoms when you try to get off the med. Hope this helps you out and don’t give up.
