Metallic taste, nausea, night sweats, headaches, confusion, balance problems

[vah]

I'm 42 & for the past year I've been on antibiotics 7x for chronic lung infections-I have no lung disease. I also suffer from chronic nausea, metallic taste, headeaches, dizzy spells, balance problems, extreme pressure in my head, night sweats, joint & muscle pain, alternating heat/cold in extremities, abdominal pain, recurring bouts of diahrea & constipation, and have been unable to tolerate anything with alcohol in it (ie. beverages, food or medicines). I've been on HRT (Estrace 2 mg) for over 15 yrs; have been taking Fioricet for migraines for over 10 years. I've always ate a very healthy diet, and very rarely drank alcohol. I have horses & live in the country (so I always got plenty of exercise) but now find myself unable to ride my horses, barely have enough energy to go to the Barn to feed them. I'm also self-employed & own a real estate title/settlement co., I can barely function at work & it's getting worse. Brain Scan came back normal, blood tests showed elevated white blood cells, low red blood cells & a weak positive for Celiac; ruled out leukemia & lime disease, other than that the Dr's have been unable to diagnose my condition. I've had tons of blood tests, CT Scan, MRI. Scheduled to see a Gastroenterologist & Neurologist. No offense intended by I'm sick of Doctors & tests, but at same time need to get to bottom of this problem. Has anyone out there experienced these symptoms? I'm desparate, I feel like I'm going insane - my once healthy active lifestyle is now non-existent and spent in bed.

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.  --Val

I'm not sure what my liver enzymes are. I don't know if they've tested me for liver disease. At this point they've done so much to me that I cannot keep track. I'll ask the Doc next time I see him about my liver. Thanks for the tips.

Hey Good morning,

How are you doing? Did the PCR test on Sat. and results should be in by fri. I think.  A bit worried as we all arewhen it comes to the PCR.  Today is # 13 for me and a little closer to the finish line.  I'm worried about NYgirl she needs the ins. to get through this.  Let me know how you are doing.
