What causes extreme exhaustion, photosensitivity and headaches?
Patient: I have been having issues for years with exhaustion, can sleep for 12 hrs and feel like i never slept at all, photosensitivity, headaches and migraines twice a year tat end up with me in the hospital because i cant speak open my eyes and tears run down my cheeks for extended periods of time, jaw pain, extreme joint pain, i get heart palpitations, anemia, i am always freezing( it could be 75 degrees and i am just ok not sweating like everyone else), when i am in the sun i get a very itchy rash everywhere the sun touched me and it doesn t go away for days, no matter what i use or take my acne never really goes away, i have trouble focusing, and i get depressed for no reason at all. do you have any ideas as to what this could possibly be? I have been to doctors around where i live but i live in a very rural area and they are baffled. Doctor: Too much sleep is a known risk factor for severe headaches.  Your symptoms are very similar to what a person with migraine headaches may experience.  You should be seen by a headache specialist and have a full metabolic workup implemented to check issues such as your thyroid gland function, adrenal function, and other metabolic issues that could cause imbalance and eventual migraines.  Please write me at: www.bit.ly/drdariushsaghafi if you would like to further discuss your concerns.  You may be suffering from additional problems involving DYSAUTONOMIA and migraine headaches may be just one manifestation of your problem.  Please rate this as a 5 STAR encounter.
