Please Help!!!!!!

 have been having some stomach issues for about 3 years now. Stomach pain, fullness, constipation. Last year I had to be rushed to the hospital for these symptoms and vomitting. They took my apendix out and I thought that would be the end to all the pain and problems. about 3 months ago the stomach pains, constipation came back,but with many other symptoms. extreme itching on my palms, armpits, neck. swollen lympnodes left side of neck, under jaw and under ear. pain in neck. Headaches, pressure in my left eye having problems seeing, tired all the time. Oh and last but not least numbness in my left arm that come and goes

has anyone had these symptoms and what do I tell the doctor. I have been to the doctor about 10 times. in the past couple months and they don't seem concerned. I have been given cortisone shots now for the itching. which only help stop the itch for about a week. they seem to think that the lymphnodes are swollen due to the rash. but I have so many other symptoms.

Please let me know what you think.

Have you been to the same doctor 10 times? If so maybe you should get a second opinion. The other option is request your doctor do a blood work up and a CT scan to rule out anything he/she has not looked for.

You can be your own advocate for your health care, but before you scare yourself with what if's while searching the Internet find a doctor that really listens to you and will work with you.
