Does it sound to you like I have a disease, illness or condition? PLEASE HELP, I'm so afraid right now.?

Question

Hi, I am experiencing alot of weird things that are leading me to believe that I have some kind of disease... Here are all my symptoms that I have been experiencing recently

-staph infection boils (for almost 2 years now, outbreaks come and go)
-I missed a period (havent had one since Oct 07)
-I've been getting itchy skin and had a rash on my leg and these little bites that are itchy
-Pain in both of my knees (I have done nothing strenuous)
-A shooting dull pain in my left thigh
-A cough that will not go away, sometimes I cough up a little clear phlegm (nothing thick or yellow) but it feels like there is a tiny piece of dust or particle in my throat that wont come out and I end up coughing so hard I gag sometimes
-Repeated Yeast/Vaginal Infection
-UTI's

Please tell me what I need to tell the doctor to have them test my blood or do an X-ray of my knees, I have no idea where all these things are coming from or if I am just freaking out.

And with the staph, my husband and I have had i

have had staph infections since 2 years ago, and every now and then we have outbreaks.

I'm scared I have developed some illness, disease or condition, I'm not pregnant, no idea where rash came from, knee pain since I dont work out or any llifting or strenous, cough and vaginal infections I hardly have sex, please tell me what to tell the Doc so I can be tested or screened for things?!?!?!? Please help me

Answer 1

Well, this is a hard one for sure...all of these could be seperate but I'm sure someone can come up with a single disease that could contribute to all of them.

I do know that if you are taking any antibiotics for any of these problems, that can cause yeast infections so if you take something for the UTI or staph that may be a side effect.

Check the humidty in your home, low humidty can cause the dry cough and even itchy rashy looking skin. Not sure on the bites but I do know that when I sctrach to much and cause the roots/hairs to get inflamed it can look like bug bites (puffy and red/pink)

Stress can cause missed periods and as you seem to be stressing alot about your health that can effect your cycle.

Not sure about the other stuff though. Hope you find a doc to help you out though. Keep trying and don't give up!

Answer 2

The best thing you can do is list all of your symptoms with how long you have been experiencing them and how often. Take this to your Dr. and tell him how worried you are and that you want to have a workup to check these problems out. And if he is a Dr. worth a grain of salt he will keep testing you until he knows whats going on. Good luck.

Answer 3

you simply tell your doctor every thing you just wrote here. It's his job to figure it out for you.

Answer 4
