Everything hurts, all meds being rejected, no ideas.

Please help! I hurt everywhere, every day. I've had specific issues, all starting around the beginning of this year, including galactorhea , in just one breast, constantly worsening vision in one eye... It's so bad, I can not even read this screen, 5 inches away, if I close my good eye... Headaches, muscle weakness, trouble with one lung, easily winded, always tired, hands and feet that split open, and my feet are super sensitive to temperature, my hands have practically no feeling of temperature, but the sensation of touch is just fine. Also, adult acne, and pain everywhere. I also have had a broken tooth for two years, which swells with infection every few months. Sometimes 6 months between. I finally got insurance, and went to a doctor, who ran blood tests, which showed prolactin is normal, and that I am anemic, but I eat plenty of iron. I also have very irregular periods. Ranging from 3-6 months between cycles. Nothing else looked odd in the blood tests he ordered. 5 levels were off, but all having to do with an iron-deficiency anemia. I went to a dentist, who said there is a bad infection in my tooth, and I am waiting insurance authorization to have that pulled. I don't like my doctor, and will be looking for a new one this week. He will never meet my eyes, and always seems uncertain. He doesn't think the tooth thing is related, but the dentist said there is a chance the infection could be cancerous. When the ins authorization comes through, she is **** a biopsy of it. In the mean time, I was given antibiotics. The first was penicillin, which made me so itchy, I was drawing blood by scratching. So I was going to switch, and after I stopped, I broke out with about 200 zits on my chest, a yeast infection, and 6days later, those are both going on, along with still being itchy. I tried taking clindamycin, but every time (with liquids, food, hidden in soft foods, etc) the pill lodges in my throat, then burns it raw for days. This happens with everywhere pill. I also now have a metallic taste in my mouth. The dentist also gave me a pain pill, which made me ridiculously high, to where I couldn't even stand up straight, and then puked for hours afterwards. The clindamycin also made me puke once. I have also tried an allergy pill, to no avail! Every pill I take is making me sick, and I have NEVER had an issue with any medication before. Except, they do have a end envy to get stuck in my throat for a while, but not for hours, like what is happening now. I am at a loss. I am in so much pain, and all medicine just seems to make it worse. Everything hurts, my feet, my back, my head, my hands, my lung, everything. Please help me.

Hi- I know your post is 2 years old...I just found it while searching clindamycin side effects.  (Gross stuff!)  Your situation with medications and your symptoms are very similar to mine.  I was wondering how your situation turned out.  Hope you are well.

Hi,
How are you? It is good that your were able to see your doctor and dentist. If your present medications are not helping and you have allergic reactions to them, it is best that you discuss this with your doctor for proper management. Infection usually responds well to antibiotic management while anemia with supplements. Aside from oral medications, which you have difficulty at present, other routes such as intravenous or intramuscular may be considered. a referral to a gynecologist may also be done to check on your irregular periods and ophthalmologist to rule out any eye issues. Take this one at a time and management will depend on the findings of your doctors. Take care and do keep us posted.
