Hi Lori,
thank you so much for messaging! How are you? How is the summer on your end?
Well, I have been feeling quite bad. The antibiotics don't seem to be working. I am super dizzy and apparently, it does not come from my ear (I went to the HNO). Also, my glands under the throat, tongue, and stomach hurt, I am really thinking there is something like Lymphoma that they might have missed on a scan? I also stopped eating Gluten - initially looked like it got better but it came back.
Next week I am going again to see the infectiologist and will potentially try another type of antibiotics and she wants to do an EKG of the heart (no idea why, maybe because ASO titer is elevated)? then try corticoid and antiviral....
I am now in London this weekend with friends, but just feel constantly worried with this dizziness that I will faint or feel too bad. I am thinking this dizziness must be something serious like a brain issue that has not been found? I don't understand đ

Oh golly, Maria. I sure hope you find some relief from this. Please try not to keep thinking worst case scenarios. I know itâs hard not to do so but negative thoughts add stress and sap energy.
Itâs encouraging your doctor will keep pursuing this for you with continued tests and trying different meds. Unfortunately medicine isnât an exact science or it would be easy to treat every unusual case. Your doctor is trying to unravel the mysteryâŠand youâve âwrittenâ a good one!
Iâm glad youâre having fun with friends this weekend. Even if youâre only going through the motions. I know thereâs that underlying concern all the time. But itâs good to be out with people you enjoy and keeping some normalcy for your life.
Keep me posted, Maria. Hugs!
