Given how my doctor has an interest in diagnosing me with something that will go away on it's own with no intervention, and keeps cutting me off as I list the details about symptoms I forgot last time or only went over vaguely due to a sudden attack of wobblyness, I asked the internet and it was reassuring.
1. Depression (Adult)
2. Medication reaction/side effects (I'm not on anything with these sort of side effects, and it's been going on since before that, anyway)
3. Hypothyroidism (No, checked for that)
4. Generalised anxiety disorder (Edit: No. Anything similar is due to Too! Many! Loud! Sounds! All At Once!)
5. Heat stroke (Um, no)
6. CF(ID)S (That would explain fatigue, but not anything else. I think. Also, I'd be tired-er.)
7. Dementia in head injury (I have no head injury)
8. Cluster Headache (I don't remember how often I headache, but I seem to remember reading something somewhere about how cluster-headaches feel a bit like migranes pain-level-wise, and mine are more annoying and achey than anything else, and tend to occur when my head gets cold, so probably not. Edit: Yeah, I was right. No.)
9. Postpartum depression (WTF? I said I didn't have a kid! maybe it just wants to say 'depression' again.)
10. Fibromyalgia (I'd be in more pain if it was that. Edit: Reading the thing I have more in common than I thought, but it still dosn't really match up.)
11. Viral syndrome (Dunno what that is. Edit: And nither does the site I was asking.)
12. Bipolar disorder (Edit: I is not manic for long enough. DX = over a week. Me = A couple of hours followed by hard crash, or during hard crash.)
13. 14. and 17. Various Anaemias (did have, but my iron levels are back up now)
15. Insulin reaction (hypoglycemia) (I think we already checked for that? Did some bloodwork to do with insulin, at least)
16. Multiple Sclerosis
18. Sleep deprivation. (No)
... Well, none of those are fatal, some of them go away by themselves, and the worst result in pretty much what's going on now, though the mood-swings might get worse. So, I guess I don't have to worry if it takes forever to get a diagnosis, eh? I'll live.
It's not often that looking stuff up on the internet makes people feel less worried rather than more, eh?
Only thing - I couldn't work out how to put in 'I fall over sometimes for no reason, but am awake'. Bah.
Feel free to comment with advice, psudo-advice, and ruminations on interactions with the medical world in general, or anecdotes about stuff under the cut. I want some human interaction here, guys! The last person to talk to me on msn was someone I knew from school, and she wanted to know if the thing that my mum had told her mum was true, and she signed off not long after I said it was.
