I have been having issues for about 2 yrs know, i have been dealing with vertigo like symptoms about 1 wk after the influenza B strain. Was told it would go away in a week or so,it lasted for about 8-9 months really bad off and on. I was misdiagnosed with Meniere's Disease,still have the ringing in the ears, mild to severe allergies that i have to take shots for.
I have seen Inner Ear specialist, Rheumatologist,all test come back normal. Over the last 8 months i have had sudden weight lose and now weight gain,extreme joint pain & swelling in hands,left shoulder,knees and ankles,unexplained chest pain(EKG normal) and extreme fatigue or just a sluggish feeling,i have had 2 very bad ear infections,pneumonia and that's just in the last 12 months.
Hurt my back on the job 7 months ago (which it seems like i can't shake), 2 days after i started feeling a burning sensation at the base of my neck along with pain & stiffness. They did MRI & CT scans of my back and the results showed the left Adrenal Nodule is incompletely assessed.
Now i'm waiting for the CT scan to be done again.
Before 1/1/11 i felt healthy as i could be.
Could the flu have kick started this?
Could this possibly be my problem?
Thanks.
