multiple symptoms (posted in a few areas)

multiple symptoms (posted in a few areas)

i have so many symptoms that just don't seem to fit anywhere.  this has been going on for a few years & i think i have the pattern of a typical flare down. they can last anywhere from 6wks to a few days.
1- emotional instability
2- pain in right kidney area, right side, right lower back
3- fatigue
4- loss of appetite and food aversions all the way to bulimia/anorexia type actions  
5- hallucinations
6- stomache tenderness
7- stomache pain(thought once i was having an ectopic pregnancy)
8- cloudy urine
9- horrible leg pain that i can only describe as if they had been crushed.  i am a dance instructor this is nothing like muscle soreness or a pulled muscle.  
10- profound muscle weakness (can't walk or sit upright)

other general symptoms are elevated heart rate (take propanolol for this), myoclonus, left side of face droops(?), trace blood in urine, slightly elevated ck levels, muscle stiffness, night sweats, difficulty swallowing, vision disturbances, migraines, interstitial cystitis.  

tests:  t-spine & brain MRI, several lupus, wilsons, myasthenia gravis, EEG, EMG, porphyria, lyme

any ideas would be appreciated.

I had been having many strange symptoms - extreme lethargy, nausea, headaches, muscle weakness etc. Had a bunch of tests and no answers...I have a clothes dryer in the house and been using it for many years. Often with the house closed up. I have just discovered that this can cause carbon monoxide poisoning - low level exposure over a long time. Please see below:


Dr. David G. Penney has conducted one such study. He suggests that long periods of exposure to carbon monoxide, even at low levels, can result in long-term effects. He calls this chronic carbon monoxide poisoning. This can cause effects in an individual for days, weeks, months, or even years. Results vary depending on the age and health of an individual.

For the purposes of Dr. Penney’s study, the term “chronic” is used to describe how long the carbon monoxide exposure lasts, not how long the resulting effects are.

Physical symptoms: headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle pain, joint pain, chronic fatigue, dizziness, numbness, tingling, vertigo
Cognitive / Memory Impairments: attention problems, multi-tasking problems, word-finding problems, short-term memory problems, verbal and/or visual deficits.
Affective Disorders (emotional/personality effects): irritability, anxiety, lack of motivation, temper, loss of interest, sleep disturbance.
Sensory and Motor Disorders: blurry vision, double vision, buzzing in the ears, decreased co-ordination, speaking, eating and swallowing disorders.
