My good friend from high school has been quite ill for a few months now. (she’s 26) I asked this question somewhere else, and although got no good answers found out that a woman’s daughter has basically EVERY SINGLE symptom listed. Her daughter started getting them when she was 11, she’s now 14 and things are getting worse.
They’re fairly usual symptoms, but they’re causing the destruction of their lives. Enough chit chat, they are:
-TERRIBLE insomnia, up until past 4 every night, no medications or lifestyle changes help.
-Frequent spells of tremors. It’s almost a hyperactive thing, except it mostly happens when they have no energy.
-Terrible nausea very often. Results in shaking and crying.
-Acid reflex.
-Often very lightheaded, frequent headaches/migraines
-Shortness of breath, difficulty breathing although there are no signs of any lung problems.
-If they don’t eat they get bloated, then gassy but not gross just basically air. This is a very painful thing.
-Changes in ability of vision.
-Extreme mood fluxes, (almost like a manic depressive)
-Become very impulsive and apathetic.
-Suicidal tendencies or thoughts.
These girls are not acting out for attention. It took a lot of effort to find out these details in both cases.
I’m very very worried is there any disease they could have that we can cure for them?? I hate seeing my friend’s life unravel. She can’t do ANYTHING anymore, not even eat!
I know depression etc is psychological but I’ve heard that things like brain tumors can make you depressed.
JUST PLEASE HELP!!
Doctors say they’re fine
because they hide their symptoms
but I see the pain my friend suffers. So much pain. How do I stop this??
Oh and one very big one I forgot
-Difficulty moving. No energy. Body just *Wont* move, as if you were dehydrated, although it happens when they’re fully hydrated. She becomes very weak and also dilusional. This happens about 2 times a week.

these could all be results of depression, severe depression.
OMG. I have been having the same thing, although not so severe. It’s hard to eat,and I always get “dehydrated” even though I’m not. I went to the stomach doctor guy. But he said it was psychological. And I am around that age. So I would recommend going to the doctor. I’ve had it for around 6-7 months now. It’s almost gone, but it’s still affecting my life. Please, tell your friend to go to the doctor.
Unless your friend goes to a doctor and is honest with the doctor about her symptoms then there is no way to find out what is wrong with her.
Has your friend asked if it was possible she had Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (what is sometimes called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome)? Quite a few of the symptoms fit the bill and it could be a possibility if all other tests are showing up normal? If it is ME, there are things that can be done to relieve her symptoms and make her life easier.
I would tell her to go back to the doctor and ask for blood and urine tests to rule out anything else that may be underlying.
I agree with KMcG. Your friend has to see a doctor and be honest about her symptoms so that she can get a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
