gastroenterology HELP

april2008  I awoke at 1am with severe nausea (no vomiting or diarrhea) and lethargy.  It felt like my stomach had closed.  Went to the ER and they gave me anti-nausea medicines and fluids and told me it was a virus.  Well over the next month I was back in the ER two more times because the symptoms did not go away and I could not eat and lost 12 lbs.  I had the following exams Endoscopy (tested negative for H Pylori), Colonoscopy, Upper Gi Series, UREA Test, Hida Scan, 2 stool samples, Lyme Disease (tested 5x), MRI (because I felt unbalanced and it was negative) Inner ear test, every possible blood test which can be run by an endocrinologist.  I have been to the following doctors Internists (2), GI (2), neurologist (2), Endocrinologist (2), GYN (1).  I also lost my job last August and my father had a heat attack )he is fine now).  The Neurologist told me it was anxiety and wanted me to take anxiety medication which, after trying several, I could not tolerate and I don't think it's that.  Here I am a year later, still not working, and still not feeling myself.  They tel you that you know your body and I know mine isn't right.  I still feel nausea though I am eating more but have not replaced any of the weightloss.  I am told by all medical practitioners that there is nothing wrong with me.  I feel as if I belong on the medical diagnosis show.  Is there anything someone is missing.  I am thinking of doing al my tests again or am I just looking for something that doesn't exist.    What would you tell your patient?   You did answer this question back in 2009 and now we are in 2010 and I am still feeling he same though I have added diarrhea to my problems.  i tired to get the mayo clinic to see mw but after reviewing my records they did not feel there was anything they could do for me.  HELP.  we know our bodies and something is wrong.  Someone mentioned WhIPPLE disease but wouldn't this hav ebeen tested for.  I had a 2nd endoscopy 2 months ago which was normal.  Thi is taking over my life and I can't live this way.
