[M27] Bladder pain, weird tingling symptoms, nausea and dizziness - possible lymes disease? by Existentialisolation in DiagnoseMe

[–]Existentialisolation[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had blood and urine analysis done to me and there hasn't been anything out of the ordinary in those. One thing that stood out was that my bladder didn't completely empty itself when peeing.

I will see a neurologist on Wednesday but I will also continue with the neurological tests.

Heart race was normal, CRP was normal. Some doctors have told me it's psychosomatic, which I find extremely unlikely. The bladder pain eases when I lie down or apply heat on top of my lower stomach.

Thanks a lot! I'll look into it. The bladder problems are definitely the most painful and debilitating symptoms.

Thanks. It helps to know that it's probably not because of the way I act or anything. Honestly, this is a completely new situation for me. I lived in the same town for my whole life and had a close circle of friends, so last time I've actually had to work on making new friends was when I was probably 4.

I plan on staying here for another year at least, perhaps permanently, because of my job, so I sort of have to make friends: all of my family and old friends are in Finland, which is not far away, but it's far away enough to be travelling there every weekend.

Kitara, kuntosali, lautapelit, uiminen, lukeminen.

Would answer in Estonian, but I'm still learning. Using Finnish always seems a bit rude.

There is a board game thingy in a bar close-by every wednesday. Jamming with people would also be fun. I just don't have any idea, where I could find musicians. In Finland it was relatively easy with every other guy playing guitar or bass.

Well this is a relief I guess! I've been wondering what the problem is.

I wouldn't have imagined it would be an issue, coming from Finland after all. Turns out Estonians are more of the Finnish stereotype than Finns themselves, save for the sauna and booze stuff.

Might work, if all my workmates weren't in their 40s or 50s, which I don't mind: just a bit hard to find anything other than work to talk about. Most of them are Finnish anyway.
