Hello..when I read about your condition, I immediately thought of my 45-year old son. He is a minister and sometimes when he is speaking, he gets lightheaded and must shorten his sermon. Sometimes fatigue takes over until he can hardly lift his arms. He has spent 3-days in the hospital with many test like yours being done. He, too, has had many blood tests and they are still being done, including the nuclar tests. (ANA) They have mentioned low cortisol, which can be serious. It somehow, (if I can remember this correctly), affects the adrenal glands which are affecting the kidneys, all boiling down to the thyroid somehow?? I am in Ohio, he is in VA. and I cannot remember all the things I have heard and how they fit together but perhaps a cortisol or thyroid problem might be worth checking out if not already done. They are still doing tests on him. I do pray that each of you can be diagnosed and treated. His is getting worse. God Bless...Ms. Phyllis

Have you tried a metabolic Dr.

I don't know if he has tried a metabolic doc, but I will find out...thanks

This sounds like he has chemical sensitivites. I have mcs. It is not curable but can be controlled. It isn't a disease. It is caused by being over exposed to toxic chemicals and the body reacts in many strange ways. I become dizzy and weak, like I am drunk. He needs to be careful of the air he breathes. Things I have to avoid are all fragances, esp. perfume, air fresheners, dryer sheets, hair products, lotions, cleaning products etc. the list goes on. Do a search on MCS there is much information. Many people have this problem. You have to be your own detective. Do not think it will improve on its own, you must learn what to avoid and protect yourself. The more you are exposed the worse it gets. It is an ongoing problem because the chemicals are in almost everything from furniture to clothes to soap. Hope this helps. Char
