HELP
by Amanda934, Oct 23, 2007 06:45PM
I am an 18 year old female who suddenly became very ill 8 months ago. I was very healthy and ran 6 miles a day until suddenly I started having severe chest pain, palpitations, and was constantly getting sick. In the past 8 months I have had 6 bouts of strep, 4 upper respiratory infections, multiple colds, pink eye, mono, and am just finally getting over the stomach flu. I am now a regular at my GP's office, have been to 2 different cardiologists and a rheumatologist. No one can figure out whats wrong with me. The only definitive diagnosis I have gotten is Sinus Tachycardia and possible fibrmyalgia. I am on a beta blocker, naproxen for pain, ranitidine for my stomach, and provigil for adhd.
I have the following symptoms:
Chest Pain
Tachycardia
Mouth ulcers
Frequent sore throats
Frequent urination
Extreme fatigue
Dizziness
Sensitivity to light- rash.
Feeling bad after being out in the sun
Dry/brittle hair
Raynaud’s phenomenon
Joint pain
Muscle pain
Pain when it gets cold
Diarrhea
Nausea
Headaches
Foggy brain- can’t remember things
Frequent low-grade fevers
Blood work up so far has been normal. I didn't have a positive ANA test so lupus has been ruled out. Is there any way this test could be negative and I still have lupus? Does anybody have any idea what this could be? Doctors so far have been baffled.

I would check out the CFIDS Association of America website and take their quiz, "Do you have CFIDS?"
I really don't mean to alarm you! Are you sexually active or ever been?? Have you gotten checked for HIV????
