Hi,
I have a medical condition but no one has any idea what is wrong with me I have lived with some of these symptoms for a while, some of it started after having a stroke back in 2017 the first time i had a couple of unexplained falls where my legs turned to jelly and i collapsed, this strangely would only happen at night never during the day this has been happening now for over 1 year. Then in March i was sent to hospital with severe phenomena which went to toxic and i was put on life support with 48 hours, i slowly recovered and was sent home, the same day i was worried with my blood pressure went through the roof, it eventually settled down then over the next 2 weeks other symptoms arrived and they hit me with a bang...I got and have had severe nausea which was making me feeling crappy then i had sweeting which is very server and then lack of motivation i got quite ill again and ended back to hospital where they7 found i had a bladder infection then sent home, went home feeling quite unwell and then another week i was back in hospital and dragonized with server emphysema then sent home, so since March by symptom's are causing me grief i had no 7motivation had trouble getting out of bed and spent a lot of time feeling sick feverish and still having unexplained falls and extremely nauseated i have so much to do but i can't get the enthusiasm to do anything i am feeling very depressed as i can't eat i have not had a decent meal for quite sometime doctors have had all of my symptoms and checked into them with blood tests ct scan chest back stomach they have always come to the same conclusion that they cannot find any answers and i am getting to the end of my rope there is not any answers i am extremely stressed so i am reaching out to the public to see if anyone might have some answers as the doctors said i have got to have mental issues and that is so unfair i was warned it was medication so i am going off some7 i take aropax, pherngan, cholesterol tablets and serequel and one tapendol tablet,,,,symptoms are - continuous neasua slight tummy problems, having falls which i have been told that thi%s could be low or high blood pressure constant tiredness lack of motivation no interest of eating and loosing weight, i have some days where i don't want to get out of bed and life is slipping away i dont;t smoke occasionally drink alcohol so if someone could have any suggestions as to where do i go from here i hope to hear from you thanks for reading

My 72 yr. old husband had been a heavy drinker all his life. Maybe drank 2 gallons of whiskey a week. When he hit 70, it seemed, all of a sudden his body broke down. He had jello legs, fell several times and couldn't get up. His platelets and inflammation markers were off the charts. He saw 4 neurologists. Dr. # 1 said Parkinsons and he was put on medication for it. It didn't seem to do any good. We saw Dr. #2 who said rare genetic disease, CIDP and had him getting 3 hr. infusions 3 day a month, again no change. Mind you he was in the hospital twice that year. OK, Dr. #3 says he doesn't know. Finally, Dr. #4 an Irish neurologist really listened to my husbands drinking problem and said stop drinking. The heavy drinking killed some nerves in his foot which can't be repaired but everything else improved. So that's my story, hope it helped...good luck !
