A lot of rare symptoms with no answers

I am desperately seeking help for my symptoms.  I have been out of work for over a month and don't seem to be any better.  I had my appendix removed and developed a bad infection.  I am being treated for the infection. At the same time as the appendicitis I went to the emergency room for kidney stones.  I had lithotripsy done for that 1 week ago to remove the stone.  Over the past year I have experienced the following symptoms... I have been to many different docs and the emergency room and don't know what to do.  All of these symptoms may not be relevant, but I thought more information the better.

Migraines
Gallbladders Surgery (years prior)
Kidney Stones-with lithotripsy
Appendicitis
Gastrointestinal problems with a potential crohn's diagnosis
extremely dialated pupils (without being on any medication)
stiff joints
nausea and diarrhea
rapid heart rate
shortness of breath (worse when laying down)
severe fatigue

Why not discontinue the depro-vera as an experiment and see what happens?

I am taking Levaquin for the infection and have stopped running fever.  I already had lithotripsy done for a 7mm stone and have collected the stone fragments for analyzing.  The main problem now that I am having is the recurring migraine headaches, dilated eyes, severe nausea, shortness of breath, very rapid heart rate,and flu-like symptoms-aches.  Could this be hormonal?  I have been on Depo provera for 6 years and have not had a period the entire time.  These symptoms aren't related to the surgery...they all were happening prior.  What do you think it could be?

Hello LG0526,

You are having two conditions simultaneously which need different treatment plan. Control of infection would need a course of the next generation antibiotics like ertapenam or cilastatin or meropenam antibiotics. That would control and cure the infection. The treatment of renal stones would need surgery or lithotripsy based on the size of the stone. Smaller sized stones are preferably treated with lithotripsy. Drink plenty of fluied that would help in the flushing out of the stones.

Take care.
