Having strokes and don't know why-docs don't know either

Having strokes and don't know why-docs don't know either

I am very confused. I come from a family history of mental illnesses, all kinds.  In 1998 I was told by my Rhumotologist that I have Fibromyalgis. I was told in 1999 by my Orothopedic, Neck-Back-Spine Specialist told me I also had Myofacia. I had a nervous breakdown in January of 2004. I am manic depressive, ADD, memory loss, stress, social anxiety, panic, weight gain, etc... I see a Pain Doctor also and have 4 shots in my back and that only last me maybe a week. After trying different directions on trying to releave my pain in my back - he says last resort is surgery on my back. I really don't want to go that route. I see so many doctors on my condition and here is a list of my pills I take: Wellbutrin 450mg 1xday, Cymbalta 65mg 1xday, Cyclobenzaprine 10mg 1xday, Strattera 60mg 1xday, Amitriptyline 25mg 1xday, Nabumetone 500mg 4xday, Lyrica 50mg 4xday, Slulxin 500mg 6xday, and Ortho Cyclin birth control. I am having strokes now and the docs don't know why. I have taken 3 MRIs, scans, gave blood, etc....and all comes back showing nothing. I have been in the hospital and they chalk it alll up to ?muscleskelatal. Something is going on, I have all the side effects of almost all my pills, and yes I turn yellow when I have this stroks happen. Please help me.

I wish I could help you but if all the doctors who see all the physical facts can't figure it out, I certainly can't from here. My usual approach in situations like this is to examine the medications you are taking, and starting getting rid of as many as possible to see if that effects the symptoms.  Talk to one of your doctors who is in charge about this approach.
