I am currently experiencing ongoing health scans for the symptoms I am experiencing: headaches, seizures, confusion, mood changes, muddled thoughts and fainting. When I first saw a GP at the age of 16, I had MRI scans, ultrasound scans, Echocardiograms and X-rays done. I was eventually diagnosed with two different endocrine disorders at the age of 19. I am now 23 years old and they are ordering these tests again. Nothing has changed apart from me being more mentally confused and disorientated and not being able to think enough to express myself in social situations. I am just looking for any support because I am aware that the symptoms I am experiencing are visible in a range of different conditions such as brain cancer and brain tumours. Any advice or support?
