I am 24 years old. I've been dealing with multiple symptoms most of my life. I think I know what disease(s) I have, but so many diseases have the same symptoms. Here is my history:

Age 3: Earaches

9-24: Every few years, I've had to adjust my sleeping pillow. At age 9, I had to sleep on 2 pillows to stop nausea. About age 17, I needed 3. Now, I literally sleep sitting up.

17-24: About 3 months before my 18th birthday, nausea starting hitting me hard. It got worse everday for 3 weeks. Then, once a week. Then, every few months. Now, it gets worse everday, but I can control it quite well since I'm used to it.

17: I stopped drinking soda because it hurts my stomach. Even a sip will burn it for 30 minutes.

22-24: I have unstoppable migraines that are only cut in half by migraine medicine.

22-24 I'm sure Ihave P.A.D. and R.L.S. I'm also constantly tired and lightheaded even though I get 9-12 hours sleep per day.

23-24: I have to eat light or I may vomit

PAD? Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) The most common cause of peripheral arterial disease is atherosclerosis. In atherosclerosis, fatty deposits (plaques) build up in your artery walls and reduce blood flow.
Factors that increase your risk of developing peripheral arterial disease include:
Smoking
Being older than age 50!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Having diabetes
Being overweight
Having high blood pressure or a family history of it
Having high cholesterol or a family history of it or high triglycerides, a blood fat
RLS Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological disorder characterized by unpleasant sensations in the legs and an uncontrollable urge to move when at rest in an effort to relieve these feelings. RLS sensations are often described by people as burning, creeping, tugging, or like insects crawling inside the legs. Often called paresthesias (abnormal sensations) or dysesthesias (unpleasant abnormal sensations), the sensations range in severity from uncomfortable to irritating to painful.
The most distinctive or unusual aspect of the condition is that lying down and trying to relax activates the symptoms. As a result, most people with RLS have ''difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep''. Left untreated, the condition causes exhaustion and daytime fatigue
RLS occurs in both genders, although the incidence may be slightly higher in women. Although the syndrome may begin at any age, even as early as infancy, most patients who are severely affected are middle-aged or older. In addition, the severity of the disorder appears to increase with age. Older patients experience symptoms more frequently and for longer periods of time.
You do not fit these symptoms.
I reckon you might have a food intolerence, or allergy.
