Diagnosis

[doglover64]

Hello All
I have been ill for 3 months, mainly headaches, dizziness and concentration, this was happening about once a fortnight at first, but now I have this constantly with blurred vision sometimes, I have foot cramps and some lower leg pain. In the last month I have lost 9lbs, I am not overweight nor am I dieting, I am fatigued constantly and need to sleep alot, my body temerature rises suddenly about every 2 hours and my skin becomes tacky and my head feels like its going to explode! It is so bad now I am unable to drive and have been signed off work. I had a random blood test which came back negative, I had eaten half and hour before this test. My father is type 2 diabetic ( through obesity).
Is there a more comprehensive test I can have, I was convinced It would be positive and I could get the treatment to make me well again, I have all of the symptoms but no answers!!
Please Help.

No-one on here is qualified to make a diagnosis. You need to get straight back to your doctor and get things sorted out. Whatever is causing it, you can't go on feeling like that.

Try for an early-morning appointment and don't eat or drink anything (except water) for 12 hours before. Then, if they take a blood test, it will be fasting. You can always take your breakfast with you for afterwards - I do :lol:

Best of luck, and let us know how you get on.

Doglover,

I agree with Viv and you really need to go back and discuss this with your gp, if unhappy ask for a second opinion from another gp in the practise.
