Numbering system for many problems some have here.

[Guest guest]

You seem to be getting a bit redundundundent here. Recommend you develop a numbered list of your problems to take to Bart's. Sort of a 20 Questions list. This will help all who care for you. Indeed this list should be how we develop our questionnaire I would think. Maybe I left some out.Start at the top of your head and work your way down to your feet.This way you will not have to repeat your self when talking to us you can say see my list for number 5 in our files for complete details, etc. This will be a great help to your health care team and to you to help keep things straight.For each problem: list when it started, what it is like, does it move anywhere, how long does it last, what makes it better, What makes it worse, How do you stop it. What do you think the cause is.1. Hair-skin-nails2. Headache, Mental Health3. Eyes4. Ears5. Nose-Mouth-Throat6. Sleep7. Teeth8. Neck9. Thyroid/Parathyroid10. Other Endocrine: pituitary, adrenals, pancreas, goands.11. Carotids other arteries.12. Lungs13. Heart14. Gut: Stomach, Gallbladder, Liver, Colon, hernia15. Urine System: Kidneys, Bladder, stones, peeing16. Female System: menses etc17. Joints:Back, Legs, Ankles, Hand/Feet/Fingers/Toes 18. Blood: anemia, etc.19. Infections/Immune system20. VeinsMakes sense. I get it also off of my diet but then there are time I don't when iam off the diet.Maybe it depends what I've eaten off my diet. If I've just had chocolate or a lot more bread/salty foods.When this first started and I'd seen homeopath. If I came off the diet I was much worse but I think it was because she said I musnt have any caffeine.So, I'd have the salt just drink water all day.The last two years I've gone back to drinking black tea (can't drink much with milk) as I do feel some relief of symptoms but new symptoms from doing so.I can't drink coffee I tremble, manic and can feel a massive fatigue, angry emotional etc. as it wears off!Also, with chocolate my face looks better (weakness) but then I have a crash type feeling..maybe its the caffine.Sent using BlackBerry® from OrangeFrom: Clarence Grim <lowerbp2mac>Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:41:55 -0500To: <hyperaldosteronism >Subject: Re: Re: Conn's syndrome and spirolactineSo mostly from having too much fat in belly which pushes stomach into chest.But we need to have a good reflux question set.
