You have my sympathy . Your story could suggest environmental causes as my cousin had a similar story and it started when he moved to a new apartment. It was traced to some sort of mold. Hang in there I have gone through a lot my self going to Mass General for lot and lots of test with out any good diagnoses . I am taking gabapentin and lorazepam as well as duloxetine. Some small relief. MRI Ct are all a pain but necessary for a good sound evaluation . Stick with it as I am doing and we have to hope for better results. I pray for you that you will get some results.

Thanks for your support. I just found out today the ultrasound was “clear”. Some enlargement in the spleen and liver but the doctor told me to “lose weight”. Sigh... I’m just about to give up and face the fact I will die soon. My legs are swollen almost 100% of the time with large pits in the same spot. My shoes don’t fit anymore, they’re too tight. I’m having coughing fits all the time. I was putting on deodorant the other day and my right armpit felt like I was shot. It still hurts to the touch, 4 days later. I still have a tremendous rash on my face encompassing my forehead, both cheeks, and my nose. I’m also catching myself drooling and spitting excessively throughout the day. I feel very tired and weak. I literally have to slap myself to wake up. (No, I’m not hurting myself. It’s the only thing that wakes me up. Tried hot water, loud noises, caffeine, sunlight, exercises. Nothing works). Still have trouble swallowing and feels like an ulcer or something in my throat. Still feel dizzy as heck with pressure all over my head.

Yet the doctor insists I’m “normal”. He told me to get a job. How the *bleep* can I work if I can’t even put on shoes?!?
