I am having alot of trouble with my body?!


Question:

I am having alot of trouble with my body?

When i want 2 the doctor in the e.r., they hooked me up 2 all kinds of things and tried 2 give me shots, check my blood, an almost gave me a brain scan. my blood pressure is just a tiny bit low, so is my potassium. My moms a nurse and sed low potassium is strange on a 13 year old cuz usually they are older people with some type of problem or something(im not sure what) sometimes my blood sugar is high and sometimes its normal. they could not get an i.v. into me and had 2 call a specialist. they did it 11 times and couldnt get one into me(i am very dehydrated but drink ALOT) they tried 2 get fluid into my arms 2 make my veins bigger but my whole arm filled with the liquid. im really dizzy and black out alot and have bad headaches, i have no energy at all and im overweight and i cant lose it for many reasons. i am also starving. nobody can find out whats wrong with me. i went 2 a waterpark with my friend and barely did anything. shes mad now. i need help to lose weight+ get energy back.

Answers:

that is AWFUL; I'm so sorry you have to deal with this.

when you say you're starving, do you mean you're starving yourself? As in, you're not allowing yourself to eat? because this would give you blackouts and low energy.

I'm not a doctor, but it sounds to me like cushings syndrome. Do you have a lot of fat around your face and neck? that is a red flag for cushings. have you been checked? you REALLY should talk to your doctor about that.

here is a list of the symptoms of cushings disease:

Symptoms
The signs and symptoms of Cushing's syndrome vary and most often develop gradually. You may have:

-Weight gain. Symptoms may include a round or puffy face (moon face), increased fat around the neck and upper part of the back (buffalo hump), or an enlarged waistline. Weight gain is the most common symptom of Cushing's syndrome.
-Skin changes. These include thin, fragile skin that bruises easily; slow-healing wounds; wide, purplish stretch marks on the body (striae); acne; or a ruddy complexion.
-Changes in mental state. Irritability, anxiety, inability to sleep (insomnia), or feelings of sadness or depression may develop.
-Muscle and bone weakness. Symptoms may include backache; broken bones, especially the ribs and spine (caused by osteoporosis); or loss of muscle tone and strength. Weakness of the muscles in the arms and legs may make it difficult to rise from a chair or climb stairs.
-Sex hormone changes. Menstrual irregularity, facial hair growth in women, erection problems (erectile dysfunction), or loss of sex drive may occur.
-High blood pressure and diabetes. High blood pressure (hypertension) and diabetes may not be diagnosed until you have a checkup.


it also might by type 2 diabetes..though this is rare in children. you really really should get checked!!!!!!!!!!
