Abdominal pain/discomfort, nausea, headaches, weight loss, irregular cycles, severe acne, HELP!?
I suffer from PCOS, fibromyalgia, Interstitial Cystitis,TMJ, leaky gut, Carpal Tunnel, and an array of allergies. I started my period 10 days early last month on the 13th(unusual for me)bled for 7 days, then started again for a few days on the 27th. I have been experiencing this pulling sensation in between where my ribs meet in the middle of my abdomen, sharp pains at the bottom of my ribs on each side, and pain in my lower abdomen and pelvic area. Also dull aches and sharp pains in my lower back. My IC has been flaring up as well making my whole mid section just hurt like hell. Last time I had a sonogram done, it showed that I had bilateral complex ovarian cysts. Since then I have been taking 80 mg of Vitex 3 times daily. (about 3 months) All of my current symptoms felt similar to when I had cyst trouble before but the nausea was new. I had a CT scan and an intervaginal sonogram done assuming they would show some cysts. My doc went out of town before I could get the results from her, so my nurse called her and all she said was that my tests came back "Normal." It has been over 2 weeks now and my nausea is more intermittent, but I still have a lot of abdominal discomfort and fatigue. What in the world could be causing my symptoms if it's not my PCOS?! I've never had much trouble with indigestion or heartburn, I am taking a lot of vitamins and supplements recommended by my holistic doctor, I eat a very healthy low carb, low sugar diet, and the only prescription drug I take is low-dose Naltrexone. My conventional doctor is stumped, and I can't afford to see my holistic docs atm, so any help or info is much appreciated!
Ok, so maybe not ANY info. Please only leave educated responses and no I am not pregnant.

1. U ARE PREGNANT.2. I am goign to shoot for an educational answer, but there are a lot of symptoms soI am kind of stumpted too.
Has your doctor suggested doign a diagnostic laparascopic surgery? I think this could be really beneficial for you. If he is stumped based on the tests he has already given, this is one step further to help with a diagnosis.
I don't belive it is related to your PCOS either...perhaps endometriosis, but that shouldn't affect the rib pain. Endo would have to be officaly diagnosed with the laproscopic surgery.
Maybe getting a second opinion and starting over with the tests at a new doctor would be benefical for you? When I am not satisfied with a doctors answer, i move on to another one. Telling you that you are normal when you are in pain and feling sick means you aren't normal and they need to look harder.
I am sorry I can't be much help. Good luck on your diagnosis.
