desperate, i am extremely weak

Question

I don’t know where to start!! I have been on Prilosec for 8 yrs and i believe i am not digesting and absorbing.. I took Amoxicillin for 3 days and a huge wave of weakness hit me. I ate and felt better. Then a day later it happened again. I decided it was from the Amox so i stopped it. About 3 days after stopping I went for a walk then when i got home i was crushed by weakness and freaked out and called ambulance. Of course they didn’t find anything at the er as usual. I have been bed ridden ever since, that is 3 weeks now, my husband has to keep me fed or i get REALLY SICK and feel like I’m going to die. And I have panic dissorder to make it worse, had that 10 yrs. I can’t do chores or hardly get to the bathroom by myself. I AM REALLY SICK. I’ve been researching like a mad woman. I am not sure what to do first to get myself up and running again. my doc absolutely *****, I asked her to run a homosysteine test and she ran a b12 and folate serum instead, which is a crappy way to see what my b12 is doing. DUH, RETARD!!! Anyway, I just started using magnesium oil and that really helps with the anxiety. I got the doc to give me one b12 shot, I begged her, and i felt a lot better that night. I asked for more and she refused. I went bolistic and went to er again. I need some nutrients before i die. I don’t know if i should get digestive salts, or enzymes, or b complex liquid and iron or what??? I need everything it seems but i don’t have the money to buy tons of stuff. I AM VERY DESPERATE,, I AM DIEING AND BRINGING MY FAMILY DOWN WITH ME. VERY SAD AND SCARED. What do i do first to get myself out of bed so i can find a good doc and take care of my family again. God is helping me stay alive. Someone please help. THANK YOU

THANK YOU so much for your reply, i was thinking of getting the iron even tho the stupid lab test came back normal.   The regular blood tests never show anything so i asked my doc to run the homosysteine test and she ran the b12 and folate instead, which are really useless tests!!   I really hate regular mds, they don't know crap about health.  And she won't run the specific tests i ask for.  The magnesium was helping with my mood and anxiety quite a bit but i used too much yesterday and almost overdosed.  I thought you couldn't od on that stuff but i guess you can, had horrible headache and bad buzzing in head. I didn't know if i was gonna make it. I hope i didn't damage myself for good doing that.  It was helping my mood but still very weak.  bed ridden.  I will get the iron and i have some vit D but not sure which one.  B12 shot helped for one night but she won't give me anymore.  I went nuts and went to er that day.  God bless you!!

When I felt like that I had Celiac disease with vitamin D and iron deficiency.  It was awful.  Get tested for Celiac disease and these deficiencies, but you could start iron now and might start feeling a bit better in 2-3 days.  Take vitamin D3 2000 IU.  Do take magnesium also.  Iron deficiency causes anxiety and even paranoia plus crushing exhaustion.

Hi, I am not a medical professional but I understand.  I just came out of feeling like I was dying as well.  I see you're open to some alt. med. suggestions, have you tried the following as they've really helped me.

* Kefir
*Lily of the Desert Aloe Stomach Formula

Both of those things really helped me,  If you're in the USA you can get the Lily thing at Whole Foods, if you're in Europe/UK you can get aloe vera juice at the health food store.  I hope this helps.

Last week I felt like I was dying, I was throwing up endlessly, I hope you can also see a GI physician soon too.
